5 Best Gifts For New Mums That She Will Actually Use

New Mums are not always the easiest people to buy gifts for at Christmas. There are a few places to start, something for the new addition, but as she's probably had a baby shower a few months ago she is likely to have everything a new Mum could possibly need. What else? Alcohol is probably a bad idea, especially if she is breastfeeding, and if not with festivities in full swing there are plenty of chances for a tipple anyway. So what to get a new mum that she will actually use?

I have pulled together 5 brilliant gift ideas for new mums! This is an advertorial.

1. Subscription Box

These make absolutely brilliant gifts and are guaranteed to go down a treat each month when the latest box arrives. With the number of options available now, choosing just one can be a challenge. Decide if you are buying as a treat for her or for a way to make life with a newborn just that little bit easier. With this in mind, you can easily find the perfect subscription box.

2. Personalised Clothing

Again, an ideal gift and also can be bought as a gift for mum or their child. The personalised clothing market has grown exponentially in recent years with the growth of independent clothing companies and individuals desire to stand out and be unique. The options for what garment you can buy as a gift are almost limitless, as are the personalisation options. If you think this is a great idea check out personalised clothing specialists Banana Moon Clothing, these guys are here to make buying personalised clothing a breeze, with a brilliant garment designer on their website and a huge range of garments from the leading brands. You could even make matching Disney t-shirts for the families first trip to Disneyworld Orlando.

3. Mum Bag

This gift brings some function into the mix.  Every new mum needs to make lifestyle changes and one of these is having to take everything for your new baby with you when you travel. A new mum needs a bag big to hold everything needed for Mum and baby but it still needs to look good.  When looking for a suitable bag take a look at the specialist retailers as well as the high street as these bags are made for a specific purpose and will have dedicated internal compartments, helping to keep a little order within the recently acquired chaos.

4. Pamper Session

With the madness of Christmas adding to the already hectic life with a baby, you can expect the new Mum in your life to be feeling a little more stressed than usual. Use this opportunity to get a thoughtful gift such as a pamper day to help destress and leave them feeling fresh and ready for the festivities and life with the baby.

5. Gift Vouchers

This idea seems like a cop-out and can appear as if limited thought went into this one, but if you choose wisely you could be on to a winner. Take for example the necessities bought for the baby shower, they will run out. The baby will also grow out of the beautiful newborn. You get where I’m going with this one! Gift vouchers are brilliant to treat oneself to.
