Top 10 Mum to be gifts ideas for 2025

amanda waring

The endless number of options available when it comes to choosing mum to be gifts can be overwhelming, to say the least! There are also so many factors that will go into selecting the perfect present, which makes the decision even trickier.

Do you buy a gift for the baby or for the new mum? What will an expectant mother need? How can I make a pregnant lady feel special? These are all questions you are sure to consider when choosing the perfect mum to be gifts.

To add further pressure, the baby shower gift market is worth £19 million alone in the UK. It is therefore clear that people love to spend big money on mothers to be and their beautiful bundles of joy making it a serious buying decision.

As well as giving a present that is representative of an important life milestone, giving a thoughtful Mum to Be Gifts is designed to make her feel special when she might not be feeling her normal self. At MJ Artisan Gift Co, we specialise in gifting options that are special and designed to make a positive impact on both pregnancies and post-birth life. We think that gifts for mums to be should offer a way to improve their well-being as well as happiness. Whether you are looking for a pregnancy-safe self-care item, a job leaving maternity present, a gift for both mum and baby, or something that bit different, our gift guide offers something for every need.

What should you buy a mum to be? Check out our list of the best Mum to be Gifts ideas below.

Mum to be Gift hamper for pampering

A great gifting option for new and expectant mothers is an
all-singing and dancing self-care hamper. Not only do these gift boxes offer an
array of safe-to-use products, but they also encourage the recipient to take
some time for them. Encouraging a mum to be to relax and unwind is essential
not only for her own health but also for that of her baby. When someone
receives a box of luxurious goodies, relaxation is sure to follow.

This hamper contains a whole host of products that can be
used together or separately to offer the ultimate at-home rest time. We favour
lavender as an essential oil as it offers many benefits, including aiding sleep
and reducing stress levels. Lavender
use during pregnancy is also said to benefit the baby in many ways
which is another positive. This hamper includes this relaxing blend in the form
of a gentle bath soap, invigorating bath bombs, a lavish massage oil, and a
delightful soy candle. A matcha face mask and avocado lip butter are also
included, as they both naturally invigorate and refresh dry, tired skin.

As well as also including some sweet treats (which we are
sure will go down very well), this box also features our exclusive Mama
Journal. This delicately designed book gives mums to be the chance to document
every part of their journey, which can then be used for reflection in the
future. With pregnancy including so many changes, sometimes daily, taking some
time to sit down and reflect is also a great form of self-care.

A hamper is a brilliant way of making a mum feel special and
loved. The products will also give her a good insight into what is safe and
suitable to use even when her baby has arrived. Available in lots of different
colours, you can give someone the gift of time with one of these special boxes
full of loveliness

Nursery Prints and Additions to Babies New Room

With parents spending an average of £5300 on their
kids’ bedrooms before the age of 10, choosing a gift for a new mum that can
alleviate the cost of the first nursery is also a great option. Whether the
mother to be lives in a rented or owned home, she will still want to put her
stamp on her future child’s room. We think buying any gifts in the form of
furniture, decorations, or baby essentials is, therefore, a great present for a
new mum.

If you know the initial of the new arrival,
our Monogram Nursery Art Prints are a wonderful option. Other choices
could be something that ties into the theme of the room or just a nice neutral
gift that can be used for years to come. Creating a space for little ones
is not only a necessary task as the arrival date draws closer but is also a way
for parents to bond with them before they have even arrived. Having a dedicated
space also helps relax a new mum as she can rest assured in knowing that
everything is ready for her baby’s entrance into the world.

As future mums start to nest and make their homes perfect
for the arrival of their little ones, giving them a gift that can be used to
enhance their babies’ room is a lovely sentiment.

Mum to be gifts Baby and Bump Balm and massage oil

Another great way to treat an expecting mum is to give her a
beauty product that will genuinely make her feel more comfortable. While
growing a baby is a magical journey; it can cause stress to the expectant
mother’s body. A bump balm is an example of a beauty product that should be
incorporated into daily routines early on to achieve the best results.

A vegan balm is best recommended, as beauty products should
be 100% suitable for both mum and baby. The benefits of bump balms include:

  • Less
    itching as the deep treating moisturiser can soothe any skin irritations.
  • Reduced
    chance of stretch marks as moisturised skin can expand more easily.
  • Less
    chance of experiencing pain when baby is growing as again, the bump skin
    has been treated in a way which makes development easier.
  • Reduce
    rashes, heal wounds, and relieve discomfort from any other skin conditions
    that are commonly experienced during pregnancy.

Our Bump and Baby Balm, as the name would suggest, can
also be used to soothe skin irritations for newborn babies, making it a lovely
versatile product to give as a gift. Made from high-quality shea and almond
butter, the special formula is a natural healer packed full of vitamins that is
completely safe to use at any time. Ideal for making a mum to be, feel great
about herself and for giving her a good idea of what is suitable for the baby
when they arrive, we think that a bump balm is a must-have gift. Our products
prove that pregnancy-safe skincare does not have to cost the earth and are easy
to source.

Gift Hampers for Baby

As we have covered already, when choosing what gift to buy,
you can select something just for mum, baby, or both recipients. We recommend a
baby gift hamper if you want to buy something a bit different for the new
arrival that the expectant mother can use and benefit from.

Just like our adult options, these gifting delights offer an
affordable way to bring together various items. Buying baby clothing is the
natural gift choice for many, and you will often find that babies grow so fast
that they don’t even get a chance to wear half of what they are gifted! We
think getting something a bit different is therefore a good route to go down.

Our baby hampers include all the essentials; dribble bibs,
plant-able children’s books, vegan body products, teddies, soothing bath
products, and teething necklaces. Even the box itself is multi-use as it can be
used to either store products or as one of your babies’ many memory boxes. The
perfect gift for mum and baby, a new baby hamper takes one extra shopping task
away from a mum to be as you can gift a whole host of essentials in one go.

Baby hampers are also a lovely choice, as you can buy them
regardless of whether you know the baby’s gender. We sell baby hampers for
boys and baby hampers for girls, which are available with lots of
different products and goodies included. You can also choose from
our Gender Neutral Hampers if you are unsure of the sex or want to go
for something with neutral tones. There is an option perfect for every
family meaning you can add the personal touch by choosing something that is
ideal for the recipients.

Mum to be Letterbox Gifts

Did you know that the UK has one of the lowest
breastfeeding percentages? We think whether a mum chooses to breastfeed or not
that it is her own decision which she should be supported with. If a mum
chooses this method, it does not equal an easy journey for everyone. In fact,
breastfeeding can be extremely difficult and healthy teas like this aim to
improve naturally.

This makes good mum to be gifts as it is something that a
mum to be might not have considered when there are so many other things to sort
for her impending special arrival. This gift means she can invest some time
into her own health, which is incredibly important to do.

Featuring an organic herbal blend that is perfectly safe for
babies to digest, this special tea can be used both pre and post-birth.
Certified as vegan and with a caffeine-free blend, this gift is also perfect
for any mum, no matter what her dietary needs or preferences may be. This is
the type of present that people don’t often think of, but we guarantee that
your special mum will be very grateful for it if breastfeeding is something
that she wants to try.

Swaddle Cloths / Breastfeeding cover

Continuing the same theme of giving the gift of something
that supports a new mum during her journey into parenthood are multi-use
swaddle cloths.

Some say this is one of the most useful things you could
give a new parent as it is not merely a cloth but a multi-use product. The
different uses of these cloths are:

  • A
    breastfeeding cover which provides privacy for mums when feeding their
    baby.     The neutral designs offer a discreet cover-up that offers
    extra comfort for both mum and baby. Also lightweight in design, you can
    easily pack this cloth away in a bag for use anytime and anywhere.
  • As
    a swaddle cloth to help baby sleep deeper and for longer.     Our
    soft cloths make it easy for parents to give their babies protective
    support that can improve sleep, neuromuscular development and enhance
    muscle tone. The secure wrapping also helps babies relax, self-soothe, and
    to help prevent scratching. Furthermore, the soft material eliminates the
    chance of any skin irritations happening.
  • As
    a changing mat, if you are stuck without one.     There is nothing
    worse than a parent being stuck somewhere to change their baby and not
    having a clean surface to use. These cloths can also be used as a changing
    mat or even a play blanket in times of need.
  • You
    can use it for a sun cover when out with your baby. These     lightweight
    products also make perfect pram covers to protect little ones from the sun
    on a warm day. Simply place it over your pram, and this breathable fabric
    will provide an extra layer of protection that will make your baby feel
    safe and calm.
  • Use
    it as a burp or cleaning cloth.     Also easy to wash, this cloth can
    also be used for cleaning up any mishaps, which are of course common with
    babies. The super soft fabric also eliminates any chance of irritation and
    can be used anywhere on your child’s body.

There are also loads more ways that this essential gift can
be used, which is why it has made our must-have list.

Sef Care relaxation gift boxes

Keeping relaxed is essential for pregnant ladies, which is
why a wellness box that is just aimed at the mum to be is another good option.
Feeling pampered is a surefire way to reduce blood pressure and help the body
naturally heal. During pregnancy, it can be slightly more difficult to
incorporate spa products into routines as not all formulas are safe for both
mother and baby. With a pregnancy wellness box specifically created for mums,
you don’t have to worry about that issue and can gift easily.

You can help a mum to be become truly relaxed by using the
calming lavender scents that are featured in the essential oil candle and
luxurious massage aromatherapy oil. Also included is a lavender self-heating
eye mask that relieves tensions, reduces eye puffiness and aids in a good
night’s sleep. The collection also helps a mum to be feel relieved from any
discomfort as lavender is naturally calming on the whole body.

Also included is an avocado lip butter which soothes dry,
cracked lips that are common during pregnancy. This natural lip butter can also
be used as a balm on other areas of the body that need relief from irritation.

Self-care is not just about physical aids but also mental
support, which our exclusive Mama Jewels journals help with. This journal can
be taken anywhere for instant relaxation and mindfulness to encourage pregnant
ladies to put their feet up and reflect on their journey.

Wrapped up with a beautiful ribbon featuring a personalised
message of your choice, we think this is a great way to promote the need to
step back and take some me time for the expectant mother in your life.

Teething Jewellery

Another gift option that benefits both mother and baby in
the coming months is teething jewellery. Offering both parents the chance to
incorporate a helpful accessory into a piece of wearable fashion, we think that
makes a great gift for expectant mums. Once the little one arrives, everything
is sure to be one big, beautiful whirlwind, so helping sort out the future
months will be a huge help.

Teething jewellery is a brilliant option for parents as it
is safe and easy to clean, making it the perfect item to keep close by when
young ones are starting to cut their first teeth.

There are also many items to choose from, meaning you can
select the perfect product easily. Teething Jewellery can be used
from birth as they are made from high-quality food-grade silicone. They are
also lightweight to wear and can be stacked easily if multiple ones need to be
worn at any one time.

Another option is a Teething Necklace which looks
like a trendy outfit finishing accessory. Available in different colours,
designs, and materials, these necklaces mean a mum can feel fashionable whilst
still being able to soothe a little one who is teething. The design also offers
a tactile surface that babies can play with to support the development of
hand-eye coordination, even in the early stages.
