Collection: Mother & Baby Gifts

“We’re having a baby!” This has to be one of the most exciting moments in the journey of parenthood. When a couple discovers they are having a baby, the mixture of emotions rush in. It’s time to be grateful for this little miracle, and concentrate on eating well, staying healthy, getting enough rest and enjoying your pre-baby freedom.

If this is your second or third baby, then you know what to do babe! You have experience on your side and this really helps!

The next step is to tell your parents. I love this part. Most future grand parents just can’t wait until their children bring wonderful grand children into the world. Breaking the news to your parents tends to end in the happiest of tears. Emotions of excitement, followed by big hugs and kisses.

With less than 9 months to prepare for 'your new life', let’s get ready to spoil both the baby and the new Mother to be.

Leonie Henzell, the founder of Soul Baby Gifts, has over 20 years experience in e-commerce gifting. Our team is the oracle of gift giving and we are so happy to help you curate the best presents for new mums. As new mum gift box professionals, we love nothing more than providing suggestions and ideas to assist you in building a luxury hamper for a new Mum.

The most popular gifts that our community chooses for new mum gifts are body wash, hand wash, and hand cream by Beauty's Got Soul. Their formulations use organic essential oils and are gentle on sensitive skin. The hand creams are moisturising but not greasy. They leave your hands feeling supple and moisturised.

The jury can sometimes be out on sending chocolate as a gift for new mums. This is a super-popular gift idea for mamas, but I suspect that Dad and the big kids get to enjoy the sweet treats when they arrive. Unsweetened cacao is recommended for new mums in moderation.

After 9 months of being careful to avoid particular foods, we love seeing new Mums finally eating cheese and seafood! This can be a wonderful gift delivery for a new mum. Not something we can do at Soul Baby but a magical moment for a friend or family member that knows Mum well.

Here are 4 great ideas from our store to send to a new mum.
1. Playmats - Mister Fly and Di Lusso Living have great playmats ideal for tummy time and giving your baby time to work on their neuro-developmental milestones. These brands are safe and both wash well in the washing machine.  

2. Teething toys from Nature Bubz are the best. Safety is super important to us and we trust this brand to make teething toys and baby rattles that are engaging and great when little gums are sore.

3. Books are a great gift. I read recently that it's wonderful to 'sing the words in a book' to a baby to really assist with their language development. The older kids can also enjoy new books. Everyone wins with books! 

4. Silk Eye Mask - Our silk eye masks are super-high quality and work hard to prevent wrinkles. Most importantly they keep the light out so that the new mum can rest up for the next shift!

Choosing a combination of products for Mother and Baby, adding a personalised drawstring bag and giving or sending this to Mum is a wonderful way to show you care.
