The Ultimate New Mom & Baby Gift Guide

The Ultimate New Mom & Baby Gift Guide

Whether you’re a new or expecting mother, or know someone that fits into either of those categories, you know that being a mom is tough. That said, celebrating mamas shouldn’t be! So, in honor of the holiday season, and more importantly, all of the mothers and expecting mothers, we’ve rounded up some of the best gifts for her and her bundle of joy – approved by the mothers (and soon to be mothers), here at BrainMD. 8 Thoughtful Gifts for New Moms 1. Bundle Of Joy Containing our best-selling, brain-supporting, ultra-pure Omega-3 Power softgels alongside our micronutrient-packed Smart Prenatal, Bundle of Joy is the smartest set on the market and the perfect pair for both mom and baby.*     2. The Slouch Dress Having a baby is one of the most incredible experiences a woman can have, but getting back to her pre-pregnancy body is (as you know if you’re a new mom), a whole other story. Help the new mama in your life feel like herself again with this super chic, super comfortable, super flattering LBD from Hatch.   3. Brain In Love Chocolate Packed with brain-boosting power and 9 grams of fiber, this sugar-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, keto-friendly, non-GMO chocolate bar is an absolute must, especially during the holidays. 4. Milkmaid Goods Diaper Bag It’s no secret that babies come with a lot of stuff. And when you're out and about, a roomy and well-organized diaper bag is an absolute essential. Give the gift that proves the mama in your life can do it all and look good while doing it.     5. The Bee & The Fox Tough as a Mother Tee  “‘Women are always saying, ‘We can do anything that men can do.’ But Men should be saying, ‘We can do anything that women can do.’” -Gloria Steinem, we couldn’t agree more. Grab this comfy fitted crewneck tee for all the strong women in your life.     6. Merry Maids Housekeeping Service  This year, make the holidays even merrier for the mamas in your life by taking care of her housework for a day.     7. New Skills for Frazzled Parents New moms spend a LOT of time at home with their just-born babies. Of course, we suggest that she try to sleep while the baby is sleeping, but gifting her a good book is great for those times when catching ZZZ’s just isn’t in the cards. New Skills for Frazzled Parents by Dr. Daniel Amen is the instruction manual that should come with every child. She’ll thank you for this one again and again.   8. EMU Australia Mayberry Slippers Like we said before, new moms spend a lot of time at home with their newborn babies. They also spend a lot of time on their feet! Make her feel like she’s standing on a bed of clouds with a pair of Aussie sheepskin slippers.   6 Perfect Gifts for Baby 1. Lovevery Play Kit Subscription  Playtime with a purpose. These thoughtfully crafted award-winning educational play products and toys are designed by child development experts for stage-based learning and enriching your baby’s developing brain.   2. Tubby Todd Gift Set From newborn to ninety, Tubby Todd’s body care basics are the perfect present for families looking for high-quality clean skincare, lotions, and ointments. Plus, all of their products come packed in an adorable box, so no wrapping is required. 3. Aden And Anais Swaddle Set  Breathable, versatile and soft as a mama’s touch, these do-it-all 100% cotton muslin swaddles make the perfect baby gift. 4. Baby University Board Book Set Featuring Quantum Physics for Babies, Rocket Science for Babies, General Relativity for Babies, and Newtonian Physics for Babies, this 4-book set is the perfect gift for your future brainiac. 5. Kids' NeuroVite Orange Chewables Although not meant for newborns, these bite-sized, kid-friendly, penguin-shaped chewable vitamins are perfect for the little ones in your life. After all, tiny brains need big-time nourishment.  6. Penguin Stuffed Animal This super-soft handmade penguin is knit from 100 percent cotton and makes an adorable present for expecting mothers and little ones.
