It can be tricky buying gifts for mums to be. You don’t want to bombard them prematurely with baby grows and cuddly toys, the trick is to buy a gift that is useful and welcome now during their pregnancy. Here’s our round up of the perfect gifts for mums to be:
Feeding pillow
Feeding pillows which double up as pregnancy pillows are ideal as a gift which is useful now and once the baby arrives. Our feeding pillows not only look stylish and come in a variety of colours, they are 100% cotton and two of the colour ways are made in the UK! The feeding pillow is the ideal shape for placing between knees and ankles to help achieve a comfortable sleeping position. It also packs away into a small drawstring bag making it perfect for ‘on the go’ and taking away for that all important babymoon!
Memory foam travel pillow
Another handy product which folds down into a small travel bag, this memory foam travel pillow will not only help tired pregnant mums to be rest during those tiring final months but is perfect to have on hand for grabbing zzzzzzz’s when baby is napping. The super soft washable Tencel pillow cover is made from 100% biodegradable wood pulp cellulose which acts as an excellent anti-allergy barrier and is 100% waterproof.
Eye mask
Another gift idea to help mums to be rest, an eye mask can be perfect for a mid afternoon power nap. We love these luxurious eye masks from Elizabeth Scarlett. With a subtle scent of lavender, velvet backing and beautiful embroidery they are sure to be a hit!
Book gift package
As gifts for mums to be go, one that helps them make the most of their precious alone time before baby arrives has got to be on any list. The Book Package from Don’t Buy Her Flowers includes a choice of best selling and award winning books as well as delicious refreshments.
Changing bag
Whilst we’d normally advise against buying gifts for mums to be that are really for when baby arrives, this 2 in 1 changing bag from Dooky is the exception. Wearable as a either a backpack or shoulder bag, this stylish changing bag has 11 super handy pockets, perfect for carrying snacks, drinks, hospital notes and your travel pillow and eye mask whilst pregnant!
Choosing gifts for mums to be
Whatever gift you choose, the most important thing to keep in mind is, is this useful for the mum to be now or is it really just an early baby gift?
