If you know a new mum and you need some good ideas for gifts, you’ve found the right blog post! Buying a suitable gift for a newborn can be tricky, you want to get something that shows thought and will be useful for the new mum.
Buy bigger clothes
This is a great tip that every new mum is sure to appreciate. Plenty of people will buy baby clothes; it’s a great gift; but why not plan ahead a little and buy some clothes which will be wearable for the little one in a month or three down the line? Once the baby has grown out of all it’s first sets of clothes the mum will really appreciate having some move on to!
Diapers, wipes and other bits
You may not think about it, but the cost of diapers and the various other bits you need can really add up. This is perhaps one of the most expensive aspects of having a new baby. So any new mum will certainly appreciate packs of these essentials. It’s not exciting, but every little helps.
Something for the mother
Having a baby is seriously tiring, and those first few months of motherhood are no holiday either. So why not think a little less practical and a little more for the mother. A special little token can really mean a lot for a new mother, chocolates or a little pampering will almost certainly be appreciated.
Gift cards
Ok, so perhaps not as imaginative, but again, babies are expensive, so any little tokens will certainly help the new mum to finance things at a time when money is sure to be tight.
Further more, for a mother who would usually have to stick to bargain stores and free baby samples it can be really nice to have a giftcard for a more up market baby store… It’s nice to buy something a little special when you can.
Why not pool?
If you have a group of collective friends, why not suggest everyone pool together for a more expensive gift? If you all put in your money you could get something like a cot or pushchair, something which will really be needed and will really lift a burden from the new mothers bank balance.
Why not ask?
Ok, surprises are great and everything, but sometimes it is better to just make sure you get something that will actually be of use. So if you are struggling to think of something suitable, just ask! The mother is sure to be delighted by your asking and then you can make sure she gets whatever it is that she really needs.
Hi,i have a baby shower coming soon so thanx for the great ideas. I gonna have a load of fun. Thanks.Sally 😉
I really enjoyed reading the post. I have got some really nice ideas as one of my friends is going to have a baby. I liked the ideas of ‘Buy bigger clothes’ and ‘Something for the mother’, I hope my friend and her baby would cherish my gifts ideas.
Cheers. 🙂
You have some excellent ideas for presents – how about one for mum and baby personalised label that can be used on a bottle of champagne to celebrate the birth and wet the babies head.
I always seem to struggle when buying gifts for friends and family. It seems the better I know someone the more I worry about it. Gifts for business associates comes easy for me, thank you for the buying tips, I will be back.

It is filled with Millions and Trillions of happy hearts so when you are sad and missing Granddaddy just open up this magic jar and get you some HAPPY HEARTS and you will be happy again. So yes even though this little jar isnt worth much of anything to others. He put them by the couch so that when I watch shows that make me cry happy tears I will have the happy tear Kleenex.
I like the idea of giving bigger clothes to the mother-to-be. From experience with my wife, the clothing bills are quite unexpected for maternity clothes, so this would have been a nice surprise to receive maternity clothing at our first baby shower.
I have two baby gifts that I love giving. I found a baby book/album that is made for a baby to grab with their chubby little fingers. So they can look at pics of relatives & you can say their names. It’s a chunky board book. (there is usually coupon codes on this site)
Also, I think anything personalized is special. I like to get a save-box for the newborn. Madcanvases(artist in chicago) makes these boxes with your babies stats on outside, name weight, parents name. But it’s done in a newer hipper style,
I am always on the look out for new cool gifts, so hope this helps.
My own english this can be bad, i am aware, i am sorry for the. We are very puzzled right now relating to my own new boy buddy, they are a new Virgo, and also when i don’t even think we’ll end up being similar value. Are you able to guide myself towards suitable position to look for far more concerning our challenge? Thanks!
These are some great ideas, thanks for sharing them. If you’re looking for fun baby gifts, also try some fun things – like baby dummies in your favourite sports team (start them early, you know) or magic towels that have his name on them.
Some excellent ideas for gifts, most people forget about the new mother and how much work shes had to do, so a nice pampering gift is a great idea. Buying baby clothes for when the baby is a little older (and for the right season) is another great idea. Really really love this post thank you
