Leaving to have a baby gift | 9 ideas they’ll love

It’s always great to buy a Leaving to have a baby gift when your team member or even your boss goes off on maternity leave. Not only are you showing them that you care, but you’re also acknowledging their value in the team, and let’s face it, they are more likely to return after Maternity leave if they feel the love.

Why should we buy a Maternity leave gift?

1. Show Your Support: It demonstrates that you care about the new mom and her well-being.
2. Acknowledge the Transition: A gift can acknowledge the significant life change and offer support.
3. Help with Practical Needs: Items like cosy socks, pregnancy safe spa products, or soothing teas can be practical and helpful.
4. Boost Morale: A thoughtful gift can lift the new mom’s spirits and make her feel appreciated.
5. Celebrate New Life: It’s a way to celebrate the arrival of a new baby and the joy it brings.

By giving a thoughtful maternity leave gift, you can show your support and help make this special time even more memorable. Leaving to have a baby is a joyful time, but it can also leave your staff member feeling quite anxious about how life is going to be so different. They will most likely be feeling a little insecure about the prospect of coming back to work in the future. If they are a great and valued employee, making the effort to show them how much they are thought of will really help with their mental health and encourage them to want to return in the future. A Leaving to have a baby gift is the perfect way to show this.

Maternity leave gifts usually inspire a whip-round in the office where everyone contributes to purchase a larger gift from the whole team or department. The job of buying the gift is often left to the Office Manager, PA, or EA or sometimes a very close colleague and friend will pick up the baton.

It can be really hard knowing what to buy, but generally, there are three main options:

1. Buy something to pamper the mum during her last few weeks of relaxation prior to the birth
2. A gift for the baby, such as toys or clothing.
3. A gift for both of them, often a gift box or hamper with something for everyone, even including the dad.
