Gift for a new mom?

I think when a mom first comes home from the hospital she needs to be able to sleep and relax with her newborn. So I think homecooked meals is a great thing so she doesn't have to do it. Another would be maybe someone coming to her to give her a massage to help her recover from having a baby. Or just giving her some time to sleep and you take care of the baby while she sleep.

I am not a mom, but a father. The suggestions you made are excellent and many of them will be very appreciated by your cousin. Motherhood is a demanding job and some things to encourage or even pamper her are wonderful. If you dare look toward the technical side, there might be some things there. First of all, know that parents love to take pictures and video of their babies. So anything to support that effort will be great. If you know a good place for getting their pictures printed, you might get a gift card for there. Another baby thing, something she may already have, is a baby monitor, so they can listen in while baby is sleeping. I'm sure you will pick just the right thing.

I think that you have some great ideas. I would recommmend that you get her a warm robe and a pair of slippers and possibly a book. The bath stuff would be a great idea too, but I like the robe and slippers idea better as it would be nice to have that when she is up with the baby all night or throughout the night.

Well it's very nice of you to give her something as a Gift. I think you could give her a Gift which had a pair like one for the mom and one for the baby. It would make her very happy. I think you should make something for her which describes her upcomin g baby. It would be clearly your Efforts. I just feel that give her what she likes and I am sure you will make her very Happy.

A new mother needs everything. Anything that could be given to make life a bit easier for new mom and baby is something to strive for. Any comfort will surely be appreciated while waiting for the new arrival.

When I had my daughter, everybody gave me things for her. I was practically up to my ears in diapers, wipes, diaper bags, baby clothes, and receiving blankets. The two gifts that stood out the most for me were a bath set that my best friend's mom got for me and a handmade coupon book that included coupons for babysitting nights that my best friend made. The bath salts and scrubs were great, but that coupon book was a lifesaver when my husband and I needed some time to get out by ourselves!

Oh yes a new mom to be would love to have some pamper type things. Bubble Bath or bath beds, Cocoa Butter for rubbing her enlarged tummy to help reduce stretch marks. A couple of books by her favorite author or a couple good movies to watch. Lotion that smells good she can use on hands and feet. Coffee flavors or herbal teas red raspberry tea is one good one. A small box of chocolates if she likes that or other snacks she might enjoy. What are things she likes to do, even tickets to a concert or movie out or dinner out would be nice. Where she does not have to cook. Also flowers and plants are always nice.

I don't have children either, but a lot of people that I know have kids, especially my sisters. I like to talk to them to see what they need. But, since she hasn't had her baby yet (your cousin), she might not even know yet exactly what she needs, except for the "big things" like, the car seat, the stroller, and all the baby gear. She probably got all of that anyways, since you said that she has a lot of baby stuff. Getting a personalized baby item is always cute, like from Build A Bear, or Things Remembered. But, if you want to get the mom and not the baby a gift, you can do a nice Things Remembered gift for her, or even a spa gift set from Bath and Body Works, is always nice. They have the nicest fragrances with their lotions and candles, and so forth. The most recent items I gave were gift cards, a baby bouncer, a couple build a bears, and some baby clothes. There are some great sales going on now, though, so you'll really find a good price, I believe.

I suggest books on How to take care of her babies and stuff about motherhood. Books will work for her definitely because it will take away her boredom specially when she is just at home. She can read it while her baby is sleeping. Another option is Cook Book, i'm sure she will love it so much. I hope my suggestions helps. Thank you.

That's very sweet of you to get mom something since she did all the hard work. I think your Ideas are very nice and I'm sure whatever you get her she will Love

That's a really great idea...a care package for Mom. Those are the kinds of things I would appreciate too. Maybe a coupon or gift certificate for a haircut, pedicure, or even a manicure. A book is a wonderful idea as well or a subscription to a favorite magazine. Slippers and a nice comfortable bathrobe would probably be welcomed as well. I bet the new mommy will love whatever you get her, especially since she has a new baby to keep her busy.

Over here in the east, there is a massage that slims down a new mom. Maybe if thats not available in your area, get her a spa treatment. A new mom sometimes feels overwhelmed and needs to be pampered. When the baby is a few weeks old, he/she will be mostly sleeping and this will be a perfect time to get the mom pampered. Do consider what her doctor will say though, if the delivery is a ceasar then she should have to wait till the doctor says its okay.

What you wanted to give to your preggy cousin was all okay and great for a new mom-to-be. Several maternity dresses will be greatly appreciated for sure, a bunch of fresh flowers and a basket of fresh fruits would be a great present as well. You could also buy her reading materials so she will have something to do in her vacant time. The best thing that you could do for her I guess, is to be with her every now and then so she could have a great company while she's having her pregnancy. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
