Mother’s Day is right around the corner (Sunday, May 11), and along with finding the perfect gift for your own mum, it’s also a great time to think of gift ideas for new mums in your life. The women who are gearing up to celebrate their first Mother’s Day, and are definitely deserving of a little treat.
As someone who’s about to become a new mum myself, I can tell you she’s probably exhausted and in need of a little TLC — that’s where you come in. You could gift her something as simple as a lush new bathrobe or something as bougie as a spa day, whatever you decided, she’ll more than appreciate.
Ahead, I’ve rounded up a bunch of gift ideas for new mums that, as a mama-to-be, I’d sure as hell love to be gifted this Mother’s Day.
Mother’s Day Gift Ideas For New Mums
From spa days and luxury robes to personalised jewellery and baby bags, there’s something for every new mum’s need.
A Spa Day
Becoming a new mum is a rollercoaster; some days are great, and others can be rough. So gifting a new mum a moment to treat herself can be such a lovely gift idea. We’d recommend gifting them a voucher to a day spa like Endota, that way they can choose the treatment and time to fit into their new busy schedule.
An At-Home Pilates Membership
One of the hardest things about becoming a new mum is finding time for yourself to get back into your favourite workouts. If she’s a Pilates girlie, she’ll probably appreciate a subscription to an at-home Pilates class like Fluid Form. It means that even if she only has 20 minutes while bub naps, she can roll out a map and get moving.
A Comfy Lounge Set
Some days, as a new mum, just getting dressed is a huge achievement (IYKYK), so help her feel a little more put together on those days with a comfy lounge set. We love these flare pants and crew knit combo from Nimble.
A Cute Baby Bag
As someone who’s about to become a new mum myself, a lovely baby bag has been high on my must-buy list. I don’t really want a traditional style bag, so when friends started recommending The Philé Baby Bag, I was obsessed. So much so that I bought a second one for my friend who gives birth not long after me. I think they’re a great gift idea and can be used well beyond bubs years.
Nala Maternity Bralettes
You can never have too many maternity bras as a new mum, and Nala makes some of the best on the market. While this is a more practical gift idea for new mums, its one that’ll be greatly appreciated.
Write To Me Baby Book
We all know time flys, especially when you become a parent, so gift her the gift of recording all the special moments. This beautifully designed linen-bound Baby Birth to Five Years book is the perfect place to hold all their special memories to come over the next few years.
Kahlia Skin LED Silicone Radiant Mask – Face, Neck & Décolletage
Give her a gift of another me moment with the Kahlia Skin LED Silicone Radiant Mask. It’s a two-piece mask that delivers targeted LED light therapy to your face, neck, and décolletage, using 132 high-quality LEDs per piece. With seven different light treatments — including near-infrared — this mask helps tackle everything from fine lines and uneven tone to redness, giving you a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Mecca The Maker Lover Eau de Parfum
There’s something about finishing off your morning routine with a delicious new fragrance that just makes you feel complete. Gifting someone a perfume can be tricky, so do your research first. Check out what’s already lining their bathroom cabinet, and pay attention to what they like in a fragrance — floral, woody, citrus, fresh. Our pick at the moment would be The Maker’s Lover Eau de Parfum is a hypnotic, woody scent that’s made up of creamy sandalwood, luscious fig, and sparkling vetiver.
Hommey Robe
If she’s going to be spending more time at home with her new bub, she deserves to be cosy and cute. We love Hommey’s plush robes. They come in so many fun colourways and will be the first thing she reaches for each morning.
Sarah & Sebastian Multi Petite Letter Necklace
There’s something really sweet about gifting a new mum a piece of jewellery that celebrates the birth of their new baby. These letter necklaces from Sarah & Sebastian are such a lovely gift idea; you can add mum, dad and bub’s initials and create a family heirloom piece.
Bugaboo Kangaroo
If the group chat is looking to get the mum-to-be in your lives a pressie, you could all throw in for one of the big three — a cot, pram or car seat. As a soon-to-be mama, I found picking these three things super overwhelming (and exxy), so having my friends rally and gift me one was a huge help. The Bugaboo Kangaroo is one of the latest (and greatest) prams on the market, especially if she’s planning on having more than one.
The Dinner Ladies Gift Voucher
We all know mums pour over dinners with love, but when you’ve not long given birth, cooking can be one of the last things on your mind. Gift her a home-cooked meal with a voucher to The Dinner Ladies. They make and deliver a range of yummy home-cooked meals that every new mum will greatly appreciate.
BabyBjörn Harmony Baby Carrier
Every new mama needs a baby carrier and BabyBjörn makes some of the best on the market. It’s got hundreds of five-star reviews and is super-soft and super-stylish, as well as ergonomic.
35mm Co The Reloader
A new mum has plenty of beautiful firsts ahead of her, so why not gift her something that helps her capture them, like this reloadable disposable camera from 35mm Co.
Ugg Disquette Mules Slippers
Comfy slippers? Say less.
Gentle Habits Burner Pack — Incense + Ceramic Holder
New mums are often nesting and building a home for their little families, so it’s the small touches that she’ll appreciate and notice. Take this incense bundle, for example. It comes with some delicious-smelling incense and a chic incense holder that she can burn regularly in her home without making a mess.
Rare Beauty Body Care
Everyone needs an everything shower kit arsenal, so top up hers with a sweet-smelling scrub and a creamy body lotion.
Nike Vomero 18
As a new mama, she’s going to be going on plenty of walks, pushing a pram around her favourite tracks. So, gifting her a fresh pair of sneakers is a wonderful gift idea. Nike’s new Vomero 18s are the brand’s softest, most cushioned ride yet.
An Audible Subscription
Along with all that walking, she’s probably going to need something to listen to, and given the new Hunger Games book is blowing up on BookTok, it’s a timely gift.
Mini + Me Hydramama Sample Pack
Gift ideas for new mums don’t have to be extravagant, they can be super simple and thoughtful. Take these electrolytes, for example, they were designed for mamas by a mama. It’s loaded with electrolytes, folate, vitamin B6 and vitamin C, everything new mums need to get through long days.
Sheet Society Leo Washed Cotton Set
There’s no doubt in my mind that the new mama in your life has brought fresh bedsheets lately, just not for her. So why not treat her to a lush new set? Sheet Society currently has a sale on some of its luxury cotton sets.
Now, these are just a few gift ideas for new mums however, if you’re looking for inspo for your own mother, head right this way.
