Are you looking for a unique baby shower gift for the mom to be? Get something that is for the mom, not the baby.

The cute outfits for baby are always an option for a shower gift, but why not get a unique baby shower gift and make the gift all about mom. The best baby shower gift may not be a gift for the baby at all, but a gift just for the expectant mom.

Relaxing Gifts for the Mom to Be

Being a new mom is so exhausting. Mom will appreciate all the help she can get to relax.

1. Cozy Robe

This is perfect for those middle of the night feedings.

 

2. Lazy One Lounge Wear

 

Lazy One is my favorite kind of loungewear. It is cute enough that if you don’t feel like getting dressed or don’t get around to it until early afternoon it is cute enough to work for clothes too. It is adorable enough to get a matching set for the whole family.

3. Massage Certificate

If you know her favorite massage therapist then you have the perfect gift to pamper a mom to be.

4. Bath Bombs

Most moms would love a nice relaxing bath.

5. Unique Wine Glasses for Mom to Be

Here is what the LaLeche League has to say about alcohol use and nursing. It looks like a single glass of wine is okay.

6. Wine

A nice bottle or a wine of the month club subscription so she can try some really nice wine. She won’t even have to leave the house and what mom doesn’t appreciate one less errand to run.

Baby Shower Gifts to Make Expectant Moms’ Life Easier

7. Robot Vaccum

Taking care of a baby takes all of your time and energy. Why not get the new mama something that saves her time and energy.

8. Cleaning Service

I would have loved having someone clean the house when I had a new baby. This is a treat few new parents can afford. This is a great gift whether it is your first or 5th baby. Contact a local cleaning service and get her a gift certificate.

9. Amazon Prime

Amazon prime is great for streaming movies or playing music. It is also great to have diapers or other necessities delivered.

10. Postpartum Care Package

This is the perfect baby shower gift for the new or experienced mom. Each box has 6-8 self-care items, especially for the new mom. Even if the new mom is out of town and you can’t make it to the shower this is a fun gift to send her.

11. Deliver a Meal

How about making her a meal so she has one less thing to do when she brings the baby home. You could make a pan of lasagna in an extra pan like this and tell her to keep the pan.

12. Lactation Tea

Tea can be soothing and nursing moms need to stay hydrated.

13. Lactation Cookies

These are a nice treat for any new mom.

Keepsake Gifts for New Moms

14. Journal for Mom

Having a child is magical and life-changing. A journal to record the memories is such a special gift.

 

 

15. Hand & Footprint keepsake

16. Photo Session

A maternity photoshoot is a thoughtful gift to document this special time. A gift certificate for a photo session for baby is another great gift or a photo session to take a family picture is a third option. All are thoughtful gifts.

If you or the expectant mom is a pretty good photographer enlarge a special photo and make it into a canvas wrap.

Comforting Gifts for the New Mom

Pregnancy and birth take a toll on a woman’s body.

17. Stretch Mark Cream

She will thank you for any help at getting rid of her stretch marks.

18. Nursing Balm

If she decides to nurse the first few weeks can be really painful. This cream will make it a little easier.

19. Sitz Bath

20. What to Expect the First Year

New moms often question is this normal or what is normal. This book is great reassurance about what to expect, what is normal and tips to handle predictable problems.

Useful Gift for Nursing Mom

21. Breast Feeding Infinity Scarf

This also works for a shopping cart liner, car seat canopy or stroller cover.

 

See there are so many options for baby shower gifts for mom. Do you have any ideas to add? Pass them on to me and I will share them with other friends of expectant moms.

If you are the new mom and you have a toddler these tips will help you get them on a schedule. If you are hosting the baby shower in the winter try having a hot cocoa bar for refreshments.
