Her very first Mother’s Day is one she’ll always remember. Celebrate with a meaningful gift that she will cherish, or pamper her with special treats to help her get through the challenges she’s facing for the first time. Here are five perfect first time mum gifts that will mean the world to her.
Personalised Keepsakes for Mum
A sentimental mum necklace, with or without birthstones, makes a wonderful gift for any mother, and is particularly meaningful to a first time mum. Choose from sterling silver or gold to complement her style. Most styles come in rose gold and some are also available in white gold as well. Pick a shape she will appreciate; adorable baby feet, sentimental hearts, and the engraved children charms are popular. Consider a vertical bar necklace or a charm bracelet.
Spa Treatments or a Spa Gift
After carrying baby for nine months, enduring lots of sleepless nights, and handling all the chores that come with being the mother of a newborn, mum deserves quite a bit of pampering! You can be the one to help her get it. Give her a gift certificate for a spa where massages, pedicures, manicures, and her favourite beauty treatments are available; that way, she can choose which services to enjoy, and she can fit them into her schedule. Offer to care for the baby while she is enjoying a little “me” time!
It’s wonderful to celebrate the bond between mother and child, and it’s also nice to celebrate for a new mother. Consider an initial necklace or select one of the many personalised bracelets available. Earrings or mother rings with birthstones are a nice choice too. Whether helping her to face the challenges of motherhood, capturing special moments, or treating her to something chic or tasty, these gifts are certain to make any new mum happy!
New mothers tend to spend very little time thinking of themselves, and often, gifts focus primarily on the new little one. Why not treat her to some of her favourite things? Here are just a few ideas to get you started: Netflix or Hulu subscription – there are gift cards available for both. If she’s an Amazon Prime subscriber, you might want to cover this expense for her instead. Favourite foods – from restaurant meals to sweets, the options are endless! As an added bonus, a gift basket brimming with goodies is the perfect “package” for a little something extra such as a gift card.
Mums take lots of photos of their little ones, and they’re always fabulous. How about something extra-special in the form of a baby portrait photo shoot? Experienced photographers are often able to travel so mum doesn’t have to bundle baby up for a special trip. Best of all, mum and dad can both be part of this photo shoot; some of the cutest shots we’ve seen are images that capture the special relationship between the new parents and their little one.
