AD – Gifted items
New mothers deserve a treat. Birth (whichever way you do it) is a big deal and can often leave mums feeling like they’ve been hit by a bus! This is exactly why they need a gift guide of their own. Call them ‘push presents’, use them as inspiration for Mother’s Day, or simply buy the new mum in your life a special treat.
Gorgeous Gift Ideas for New Mothers
Below is a list of lovely items that are practical, enjoyable or have just been chosen to put a smile on the face of the new mother in your life.
The Elvie Breast Pump
Elvie is the world’s first wearable breast pump, designed to be quiet and discreet to enable any pumping mother to go about their daily routine unhindered. Pumping can make some women feel quiet self-conscious, so the fact that this pump slots into your bra, operates quietly and doesn’t have any tell-tale wires coming off means it has revolutionised pumping.
The pump is curved and has an area to comfortably cradle your nipple. For those with a larger cup size, it can be attached to your nursing bra via a special strap to offer additional support.
The Elvie Breast Pump also connects to a companion app, allowing mums to keep track of when they last pumped, how much they got and which breast they used.
It’s a truly modern gadget and is bound to be adored by any mother who pumps.

Estée Lalonde Sunburst Shield Necklace
If you want to give the new mother in your life something special that’s just for her, check out the selection of Women’s Necklaces at Daisy London. I adore this Estée Lalonde Sunburst Shield Necklace. It’s perfect glamorous gift to remind her she is more than a mum.
During those hazy days after birth, it’s easy to forget who you were and what you liked before baby came. A stylish piece of jewellery can be just the gift she needs to be reminded of her tastes and fashion before she brought a new baby into the world.

Whittard of Chelsea Tea Discoveries Treasured Blends
In the weeks after a woman gives birth a LOT of tea is consumed. Trust me. All those extra hours in the day that you have brought in the form of sleepless nights make you extra tired, and extra thirsty. This tea gift set is the perfect selection for someone who loves a full-flavoured loose-leaf cuppa.
Inside you’ll find English Breakfast, Earl Grey, English Rose, Mango & Bergamot, Picadilly Blend and Jasmine tea.
Not only is it beautiful, it’s full of flavour and will delight anyone you give it to as a gift.

A Good Book
When spending hours trapped under a sleeping newborn, it’s essential to have a great read to hand and the Jemima Fox Mysteries are a great place to start! Josie Goodbody has created a fun series of novels, with the latest being described as “a perfect combination of adventure, romance and travel.”

Oleum Vera Face Hydrating Serums Gift Set
These beautiful, hydrating serums are exactly what a new mum needs. Hospital, birth, sleep deprivation and feeding are all things that can dehydrate skin and leave it looking tired and dull. New mothers have enough to contend with, their skin shouldn’t be a concern too.
This gift set containing organic rosehip seed oil, organic marula oil and organic pomegranate seed oil, all known for the miracle work they do on your skin! Fade fine likes, reinvigorate your skin and boost elasticity. You’ll give your skin a radiant glow and no one will ever know you’ve barely slept since you gave birth!

Hot Chocolate Bombes
Can you think of anything more dreamy than a Belgian milk chocolate filled ball containing marshmallows that melts under a stream of hot milk to create the best hot chocolate you’ve ever had? I mean, obviously you can’t! That’s exactly why you need to get this for the new mother in your life. They just spent nine months growing a human and every minute of their day is dedicated to raising that human. They definitely deserve a life-changing hot chocolate!

Oooh, I like the sound of all these gifts. The breast pump would have been so useful when my little one was littler. I think the serums sound wonderful.
