New Mommy
Theme Your Gift : New Mommy
Morning sickness, swollen ankles, crazy emotions from excitement to fear, an ever expanding waist…nine months of pregnancy and then there’s labor! The result is an absolute bundle of joy, a new baby. New moms are usually thrilled and filled with overwhelming love, but they are also exhausted and there’s still so much to be done from diapers to nursing. Doesn’t mom deserve a little extra care to celebrate all she’s done to bring this little angel into the world? You can’t go wrong with gifts from our New Baby Pamper the Mom Theme.
The chance to finally take a good long soak will delight most new moms since you have to avoid truly hot water while pregnant. Choose from a wide selection of lovely bath and body soaps, lotions and creams. Offer to spend an hour with baby while mom slips into a hot scented tub. She’ll emerge refreshed in mind and body and ready to love baby even more.
Candles and flowers can help mark the occasion, letting a new mom know how much she’s appreciated. Since she should be spending the first week or so in bed, recovering and bonding with baby, brighten up the room with a colorful bouquet. Buy a candle or two and draw a bath or turn down the lights and rub her feet by candlelight.
Wine and chocolate, perfect treats that the new mom may have avoided while pregnant…now she can have a glass of champagne to celebrate and a lovely piece of fine dark chocolate. A gift basket with both is a perfect way to pamper!
Books and music can be a welcome addition to recovery after birth. Great books on how to survive as a new mom, soothe baby, or rekindle passion after childbirth can help mom get through those first months. A soothing CD of classical music or sounds of the ocean and nature can help both mom and baby relax.
So many pictures of the cutest baby in the world…what new mom doesn’t want to share her delight? Picture frames and photo albums come in all styles. Get a digital frame that will rotate through dozens of images either automatically or with the touch of a button. Want something more traditional? Choose a lovely album in pink, blue, or more and let mom add pictures and notes as baby grows.
New robes and nightgowns can go a long way towards helping mom settle in and relax as well as make her feel better welcoming friends and family who come to see the baby. A plush terrycloth robe and some bath salts or a soft pink pajama set designed for nursing can make mom feel pretty and loved.
After all that hard work to bring that beautiful baby into the world, doesn’t the new mom deserve something special? Drop off a meal and some lavender body lotion. Or combine bubble bath, a special candle and a soft robe and offer to watch the little one while mom takes a bath. Add a picture of baby to a frame or album to put beside the bed. With gifts starting at about ten dollars from our Pamper the Mom Gift Theme, you can’t go wrong.
