New Mum

Nobody shops for herself when there’s a baby around. All the teeny tiny sleepsuits and mushy soft toys and bundles of twelve muslin cloths. The new mum is at the centre of it all pulling absolutely everyone together with no sleep and cold tea powering her, and when it comes to gifts there’s almost nothing in that pile for her. We saw that ages ago and enough was enough. This collection is baby-free. It’s only about her. We literally chose every single thing on this page with one woman in mind. Not a new mum in general, but you. Whether you’ve just had your first baby or your fourth, we chose things we think you’ll love. We spent hours scouring for stuff we thought you’d appreciate. We figured you’d know someone who could use some love right now that doesn’t involve a sleepsuit or superhero suit. So we picked things with actual thought behind them. Self care that isn’t just a bath bomb. Nice flavours that don’t taste like dust. Things that feel special, not like they were grabbed quickly from the pharmacy cabinet. We considered practical things too, because the thing is, practical is perfectly okay. When done right it’s one of the most caring things you can give someone buried under a mountain of diapers in the early days. It’s just a matter of picking something practical for HER instead of just picking something practical. We didn’t cram every type of possible gift onto this page so you have somewhere to shop. Every single thing we recommend for new moms here passed the test. Would this remind her that somebody loves and thinks about her, or will she just end up sorting it through later? Some products didn’t pass and we didn’t hesitate to leave them on the cutting room floor. Scroll through here if you’re looking for gifts for a new mama. Heck, scroll through here if you just had a baby and want something for yourself. Gift yourself something from this collection because you deserve to feel cared for too. We’ve got you mama.
