Buying gifts for mum’s to be can sometimes be a minefield, So, to help navigate you through, we’ve got 10 amazing baby shower gifts that your newly pregnant pal will adore.
Comforting gifts for mums to be
Luxury slippers
Pregnancy puts pressure on your whole body, with your feet often bearing the brunt of carrying that extra weight – and with many women suffering with over-pronation, edima and many other foot problems when pregnant, a pair of comfy slippers is a must have for any expecting mother.
So, if you’re looking for a stylish but practical gift for a mum to be, you can’t go wrong with some fluffy UGGs.
Wellness boosting herbal teas
Mummy’s Organics’ wellness teas have been designed as a natural yet effective solution to common issues faced during maternity.
Herbal teas have been used for centuries as traditional medicine, and these Mummy’s Organics blends are no different. Each mix has been carefully chosen with the highest-quality, most powerful herbs: from nettle for boosting iron levels, to fennel for easing digestion and lavender for a good night’s sleep.
Nursing pillow
Give the new mum in your life all the support she needs to feed her baby, however she chooses to do it. Whether she plans to bottle or breastfeed, the award-winning bbhugme™ Nursing Pillow moulds to your body and height, keeping the little one supported and comfy.
Inspired by simple Scandi style, it even doubles up as a comfy hip carrier, and can be used for tummy training. And with soft, removable covers that you can wash (and a handy travel bag to take it with you everywhere you go) this is a babyshower gift that will be used to death.
Practical gifts for mums to be
Stylish changing bags
Nine times out of ten, new mums use the changing bag that came with their pram, so why not treat your pregnant pal to some choice with an on-trend tote bag style changing solution?
This sleek style from Mamas & Papas includes an insulated bottle holder and changing mat to allow you to look chic while you change and feed on-the-go.
Soothing skincare products
Mummy’s Organics have released a range of natural but luxurious skincare products that have been purposefully created to address the changing needs of a new mum’s body during and post-pregnancy.
By working with a team of midwives, they have selected each ingredient using years of specialist knowledge and scientific research, to create the ultimate gift sets for new mums.
