Our favorite holiday gifts for new moms
Are you looking for a special gift for a mom-to-be or parents with a newborn?
This is such an exciting new phase of life and we cannot wait to share some of our favorite gifts we know they’ll love. From self-care to better sleep and everything in between, we’ve tested everything holiday gift option below and trust us, they’re great!
New moms do not have time to sit in a nail salon, even though they wish they had two hours for a manicure or pedicure. Luckily, Olive and June have released a to-die-for press-on nail system. These “fake nails never looked so real” miracles are non-damaging, non-toxic, long lasting, dry super quick and come in several styles and choices. What’s not to love?
Next is the versatile Solly Baby Wrap. Any new parent wants to hold their baby as close as possible, feel comfortable, and know the little one is safe – especially if you’re doing holiday events like waiting in line for Santa. Solly Baby Wrap has been shown to reduce crying by 43% AND it’s hip healthy certified. We personally love the new Rhubarb color!
It’s no secret we are big fans of Belly Bandit nursing bras. They’re seamless, wireless, and that means they’re extremely comfortable. Any new mom will appreciate the slightest comfort when breast feeding! Not only are their regular bras amazing, they’ve developed a liner specifically to tackle boob sweat. Made from soft, viscose from bamboo , the material gently absorbs moisture while moving with your body. “Any size, any age or any activity—these sweat soakers are the perfect way to stay dry and comfortable around the clock.”
Our team of sleep consultants love healthy skincare, and that’s why we adore True Botanicals. The line is not only good for you, it actually works, and if it’s good enough for Brooke Shields, it’s good enough for us! We can’t get enough of the Nourishing Cleanser or their scrubs. As our team members say, “Get your glow on!”
Now, once the new momma in your life has pampered herself and is ready to relax, help her snuggle in and stay cozy with the Snug Waffle Robe from Sunday Citizen. Everyone loves a robe and this gem is five-star luxury hotel status. Using the same material as their famous blankets, this robe looks as good as it feels. While they’re swaddling baby, they can also swaddle themselves!
6. Bamboo Pajamas and Age Delay Pillows
When mom is ready for bed, help her get some sweeter and much needed sleep with bamboo pajamas from Little Sleepies or Nurse Jamie’s Beauty Bear Age Delay Pillow. This wonder pillow not only helps mama sleep better, she’ll wake up with no sleep lines, less wrinkles and the face of a mom whose baby sleeps through the night (even if her’s is nowhere near that, yet)!
Whatever it is, In the morning when your new mom to be is taking a walk or getting baby to daycare on the way to work, help her stay warm with these adorable Uppababy Cozy Stroller Hand Muffs. These super warm gloves remain attached to the stroller, letting mama slip in and out as she needs. No more cold hands as she sends work emails, text messages, or just another super cute photo to send to the grandparents.the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
8. Mixtiles Wall Art
Do you want something really personal that will melt the heart of any new mom or mom to be? Ask her to send you some maternity shots or her favorite photos of her new bundle of joy, or if you want to be super sneaky and know she won’t mind, steal some shots from social media, and print some mixtiles! You get to pick the frame, size, color, and these beautiful prints stick right on the wall. There’s no stress, no mess, no hardware needed, and she can easily remove them to redecorate or rearrange as baby and family grow! Mixtiles are amazing and the reason so many people have those super cute, envy inducing photo walls.
