Mother’s Day gifts don’t have to be diamonds and flowers, they can be meaningful motherhood gift ideas that celebrate the mama-to-be’s pregnancy journey and the joys of impending motherhood. These five great gift ideas are sure to bring smiles to mom-to-be’s face and show her that you care about her wants and needs in preparation for the new baby’s arrival!
Jewelry
A meaningful piece of jewelry is an excellent gift idea for a soon-to-be mom. A necklace or these womens bracelets from honey and ice are personal items that can be worn every day and loved for years to come. Look for one that has meaning to you or your loved one such as birthstones or charms with initials on them. If you're not sure what style she likes, check out her wardrobe for inspiration. If she prefers casual clothes, then a simple bracelet would work; if she tends to wear more formal dresses and suits, then look into something elegant like a necklace or bangle. Choose jewelry that represents your relationship with her – whether it be two infinity symbols linking together or two hearts entwined — it will mean more than any other Mother's Day gift idea out there!
Matching outfits
A gift that’s sure to bring a smile is matching maternity outfits for mom and baby. Think of outfits like mother-daughter dresses or coordinating separates such as these adorable baby rompers in pink and blue. You can find cute clothes for mama-to-be at retail stores like Gap, Old Navy, Zara, and the Banana Republic. If you know what size she wears (which you do if you’re shopping for her), then simply shop in her size (if there’s a bit of wiggle room, don’t worry). No need to wait until May—you can even purchase these clothes now so they arrive just in time for Mother’s Day! Additionally, for those special moments, consider exploring "mommy and me outfits" which are designed to make both mother and child look coordinated and stylish. Websites like PatPat offer a wide range of these outfits, ensuring that every mom feels connected and in sync with her little one. Whether it's a day out in the park or a special occasion, these outfits are sure to make memories even more memorable.
Travel essentials
Whether you’re traveling with a big family or just a little one, keeping everyone happy can be challenging. Luckily, there are Ergo Baby Carriers and this diaper bag backpack that make leaving the house with the baby a lot easier. These are easy to use and you don't need to worry about straps or buckles slipping out of place. If your soon-to-be mom doesn't already have one of these products, you should seriously consider getting her one for Mother's Day—her life will thank you for it!
Prenatal Yoga Classes
Prenatal yoga is a great way to keep yourself healthy and active during pregnancy. Going to classes also provides an opportunity for mommy and daddy to bond with their baby. Classes provide an intimate group setting in which moms can share their experiences, get advice, learn stretches and poses they can do at home, bond with others who are going through similar experiences, find resources in their area as well as let go of any stress or worries through breathing exercises. Mother’s Day is just around the corner and if your soon-to-be mother is already on her feet (literally) go ahead and take her to some prenatal yoga classes. Many yoga studios offer special Mother’s Day gift certificates for new mothers in your life!
A Newborn Photo Session
A newborn photo session with lifestyle photos of mom & baby together is always a thoughtful gift that any new mom will cherish! This can be made even more special by including prints of their newborn pics in engraved frames as part of your Mother’s Day gift. After all, which mama doesn't love having pictures of their cute little newborn? Even better would be a mommy and me shoot to remember how little they once were in mama's arms.
Whether you're shopping for your mom, sister, best friend, or co-worker who's about to have a baby, finding that perfect gift can seem like an impossible task. Hopefully, we've rounded up these five gifts that show off your thoughtfulness while giving her something she'll love to use.
