The Best Christmas Gifts for New Mums, and Expectant Mums in 2024

Finding the perfect Christmas gift for a new mother or an expectant mum can be a challenge and overwhelming too. When you’re shopping for a loved one who’s pregnant, a new mum settling into her new life with a newborn, or a woman preparing for motherhood, thoughtful gifts that prioritise self-care and practicality are always most appreciated.

Through this guide, we offer some of the 'best Christmas gifts for new mothers', 'practical gifts for new mums', 'luxury Christmas presents for pregnant women' and 'wellness' gifts for mums, that will not only brighten their holiday season, but also make them feel loved and supported.

1. Self-Care Essentials for New Mums
Being a new mother is incredibly rewarding, but it’s also exhausting. A great way to spoil a new mum this Christmas is by gifting her a 'self-care package' filled with pampering essentials like foot soaks, essential oils, soothing hand / body oils / lotions, a beautiful scented candle and if she is breastfeeding, some nourishing tea and snacks.

New mums often focus entirely on their little baby, so a thoughtful gift that encourages them to take a little “me-time” can make all the difference. Look for gift sets that include postpartum recovery essentials, such as soothing sprays, soft robes, journals, and calming teas designed to help her relax and recover.

Our recommendation:
Consider the range of postpartum gift for new mums, or this mum and baby care bundle from Little Seedling, which provides thoughtfully curated bundles, beautifully packaged and ready to gift. 

A new range of wellness bundles is also coming soon (Nov'24), and can be found here.

High-end maternity items like pregnancy pamper bundles, stylish but comfortable maternity wear, or even a prenatal spa voucher can be incredibly thoughtful. You can also consider gift boxes filled with high-quality skincare items designed for pregnant women, including stretch mark creams, belly balms, and soothing body oils.

4. Useful Gifts for New Mums
When it comes to new motherhood, practical gifts are often the most appreciated. If you’re looking for 'useful gifts for new mums', consider items that will make daily life easier. Diaper bags, baby carriers, breastfeeding accessories, or healthy snacks make invaluable gifts that help new mothers manage their routine more smoothly. Additionally, meal delivery services or grocery vouchers can be a lifesaver during those early months when cooking seems impossible.

Suggested Gift Idea:
A stylish and functional **diaper bag** with plenty of compartments, paired with a portable baby-changing pad for convenience on the go. We recommend the range of bags at Ben and Ellie. You may also like the Mum and Baby Complete Care bundle here, which has some beautiful essentials for a new mother and baby, boxed together.

5. Thoughtful Christmas Gifts for Pregnant Wives
If you’re shopping for your pregnant wife this Christmas, you’ll want to find a gift that shows her how much she is appreciated during this special time. Consider thoughtful presents like pregnancy journals, where she can document her journey to motherhood, or subscription services that cater to her needs, such as monthly maternity boxes or prenatal yoga classes. Personalising a gift is always a great touch; a custom-made necklace with her name or initials can become a cherished keepsake. 

We highly recommend the range of Little Seedling Pregnancy pamper bundles, backed by hundreds of reviews who have appreciated the bundles, practical products and personalised service. You can browse their recommendations here. 

6. Christmas Baby Bundles for New Mums
For new mums, Christmas can also be an exciting time to celebrate the arrival of their little one. Consider gifting a baby bundle that includes newborn essentials like swaddles, soft toys, baby books, and organic baby clothes. These bundles not only make life easier for new mums but also offer adorable keepsakes for their baby’s first Christmas.

Suggested Gift Idea:
A **baby’s first Christmas gift bundle** that includes a plush toy, cozy blankets, a baby onesie, and a holiday-themed photo album to capture those first festive memories. You can take a look at Little Seedling baby gifts here.
