A beautiful scarf
A beautiful scarf is a great gift for new mums. It doubles as a cloth/feeding cover/sun shield and instantly makes any outfit look styled.
We love this gorgeous number from Aussie small business, Add to cart.
Nobody says no to a bag!
A big bag is a pretty safe investment for any new mum, but after lugging around a gigantic baby bag, having a little something to help remind us that we were someone before we were a mum is a lovely idea too.
We adore this seagrass basket style basket from Pineapple Traders for just $44.95.
Go all out with an indulgent hamper
When a new baby comes into the world it’s only natural to want to buy gifts for them – and we’re all for that because baby shopping is adorable – but choosing a gift to acknowledge the journey that a new mum is on is an equally sweet notion.
Can’t go wrong with new frocks!
Chances are it’s been a while since you (or the mum you’re shopping for) has treated herself to a nice bit of fashion.
Choosing for someone else is notoriously difficult and cash tends to get directed to the bills which makes vouchers the perfect way to ensure that the mum in your life gets exactly what they want!
We’ve got our eye on the upcoming collections from boho fashion brand ada + lou ourselves!
The way to a mum’s heart …
You know what makes a thoughtful gift? Food. Shopped for by someone else. Or, even better, cooked by someone else!
Food services like Hello Fresh, Marley Spoon and Dinner Ladies all offer gift cards. Start dropping hints now!
Spoil her with LUSH

Any new mum would be thrilled to try out the Beauty Sleep mask.

Sweet dreams for mum with some luxe pyjamas
Nothing is as sweet as sliding into bed in lush sleepwear.
We are absolutely hoping that we find some of Homebodii + Jai Vasicek sleepwear under the tree for us this year!
