gifts for new parents

The gift of life and becoming new parents is all very exciting. From sleep deprivation and diaper changes, there's lots of fun to be had...right?

Other than that, it's a beautiful and special experience, and mom, dad, and baby are bound to get spoiled during this time!

So why not spoil the new mom and dad by gifting them something that can help make their lives easier during this chapter of their life!

Choosing the perfect gift isn't always that easy, so we've compiled a list with some great gift ideas that'll show the new mum and dad that you appreciate and care about them.

The early days of new parenthood can be stressful, and a thoughtful gift can go a long way.

Remember, new parents don't have too much time on their hands as all their focus is on their tiny human, so it's best to opt for a useful and practical gift or just give them a nice home gift card and some cash.  A mother's day card is the perfect way to show your appreciation and love for your new parents. Whether you're close by or far away, sending a mother's day card is always welcome! Check out this Mother's Day collection for some great card ideas!   

Now let's take a look at the list of our Top Picks: 

1) HelloFresh Food Subscription Box

For sleep-deprived parents, food is often the last thing on their minds. They don't exactly have the time to cook or even make a trip to the grocery store in some cases. So meal kits are a great gift idea.

They're convenient and will help the new parents.

HelloFresh is a great choice. You can send fresh and pre-portioned ingredients to mum and dad every week. It includes easy-to-follow recipes, so they can easily and quickly make delicious and nutritious meals.

Every week, there are new meal choices so the parents will never get bored. The meals start at £3.25 per person. This is a beautiful gift idea and will help while the parents adjust to their new life.

2) Lansinoh First Week Essentials Gift Set

From the minute the baby arrives. Mom starts her breastfeeding journey, and she may need some support.

The Lansinoh gift set is packed with all the essentials mom may need. This set includes a stylish breastfeeding pillow, hpa lanolin nipple cream (an award-winning product), breastmilk storage bags, and disposable breast pads.

Healthcare professionals have trusted their products, providing the best, safest, and most effective breastfeeding support. It is on Amazon for £52.44.

3) SNOObear White Noise Lovey

Parents will do anything for more sleep. The SNOObear is a great idea. It's a huggable teddy with a white noise sound machine in its tummy.

White noise makes babies feel safe and secure as it's similar to what they heard while in the womb.

The sound is comforting and prevents their sleep from being interrupted- meaning mom, dad, and baby sleep well.

4)Wooden Baby Gift Box - Create Your Own

This is one of the best and most thoughtful gifts as it is personalized.
