Motherhood, especially new motherhood, is not always easy, and what can make it better than a few gifts under the tree to make her feel special?
You know how when you’re pregnant and everyone is all like…”ohhh how are you feeling, you are glowing…you look amazing…” and then you give birth and everyone is like, “I want to come see the baby…hold the baby…how is the baby…??” Yeah, you basically just gave birth to this amazing baby, gave it life and have kept it alive and then instantly became chopped liver. You just took the back-burner, and I wish I could tell you that it gets better and you matter again..but you don’t. It’s all about the baby now.
I understand, believe me, after two babies…I’m pretty sure the only person that loves me is my husband (most of the time) and my girl friends because to everyone else they just want to know about the babies and see the babies! Of course I’m exaggerating and totally feel loved by all of my tribe, but you get what I mean? Motherhood can be so hard and we can get such little recognition, so I want to show you a few gifts to pamper the new mom (i.e. make life easier) with a new baby!
For New Moms
Twisted Mustard Seed Diaper Bag // This is one of the most stylish and functional diaper bags that I’ve come across. The design is perfect and it’s so functional on the inside. I love the light for finding things on the inside and the compartments that keep me organized!
Mommy’s Watches // How long has the milk been out? Is the time up? Mommy’s Watch adjusts its timer based on the temperature of a baby’s bottle or a pumped breast milk bag. It counts down slower in the refrigerator and faster at room temperature. Green light: still counting! Red light: the time is up! You don’t have to worry or try to count the hours! These are great for stocking stuffers and will begin selling on December 15th! Preorder NOW!
Tote Savvy // So you’ve spent a ton on a purse big enough for a diaper bag and don’t want to give it up? You don’t need to. I use the ToteSavvy with my LV Neverfull, and you can use it with any purse you have too! It comes in many sizes and works perfectly for transitioning any purse into a compartmentalized diaper bag! Get yours for 20% off with code ASHLEE in grey or black.
Coffee // Whether it’s a gift card, dropping a latte by her house, or gifting her the Ninja Coffee Bar (currently on sale). Give the mom some coffee, you know she needs it!
Cariloha Blanket // For the hospital, cuddling with baby, nursing or catching up on Netflix…this is the BEST blanket for that! And it’s on SALE! Snag one for half off with no code needed HERE!
For Babies
Dock-a-Tot Deluxe // This thing is a life saver. You will want it when transitioning to the crib from the bassinet, but also it’s great for being able to lay the baby down (in a safe place) to get something done! WE LOVE this thing! We have the Dock-a-Tot Deluxe and the Dock-a-Tot Grand.
Owlet Sleep Sock // This gives mommy peace of mind and protects baby while sleeping. I wish we would have had this from Day 1 with our babies, but you can!! Read our review HERE and purchase HERE!
Levana Baby Monitor // This has been our favorite monitor of the 4 we’ve tried. I love the LCD touch screen and the options for sound, temperature monitoring, etc. Read our review HERE. Purchase HERE (on SALE)!
Binxy Cart Hammock // Shopping with babies is so hard! I took this cart hammock with us everywhere when Lennie was little, and 9/10 times got stopped for someone to ask about it or take a picture of it to order! It’s safe and gives you way more room in your cart!
Gift Card for Baby Gear // One of our favorite places to shop for babies is The Baby Cubby. The reason why we loved them is because they are there for every person out there who has ever felt overwhelmed or discouraged about becoming a parent. The Baby Cubby team is made up of parents who have been there, we know what it’s like and we are passionate about encouraging, inspiring, and reminding parents how amazing they are and how important their role is. They even price match (to any retail store) and provide Free Shipping everyday at BabyCubby.com over $49! We got the Boon Flair High Chair from this website and have used it through two babies and had the best experience with customer service!
What are some of your favorites as a mom that you would want to share with other new mommies? What was your #1 baby must have? Let us know so we can include it in the future!
