Mother’s Day is fast approaching (Sunday, May 11), and besides finding that perfect gift for your own mum, it’s also an ideal opportunity to consider gift ideas for the new mums in your life. Those women who are about to celebrate their first Mother’s Day certainly deserve a little pampering.

As someone on the brink of becoming a new mum myself, I can tell you she’s likely exhausted and in need of some tender loving care — and that’s where you come in. Consider giving her something as simple as a lush new bathrobe or as luxurious as a spa day. Whatever you choose, she’ll be more than grateful.

Below, I’ve compiled a selection of gift ideas for new mums that, as an expectant mother, I would love to receive this Mother’s Day.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas For New Mums

From spa days and luxurious robes to personalized jewelry and baby bags, there’s something to cater to every new mum’s needs.

Saint Valentine’s Mum Bracelet

This bracelet from Saint Valentine is a stunning gift choice for a new mum. Its design is incredibly clever, featuring bold, undulating letters linked by hand to subtly spell ‘MUM’ in its continuous pattern. It’s a perfect way to symbolize their new journey and is sure to make them feel incredibly special.

Shop Saint Valentine, $185

A Spa Day

Becoming a new mum is a whirlwind; some days are wonderful, while others can be challenging. So gifting a new mum a moment to pamper herself can be a truly thoughtful gift idea. We suggest giving them a voucher to a day spa like Endota, allowing them to select the treatment and time that fits their new hectic schedule.

Shop Endota, From $25

An At-Home Pilates Membership

One of the biggest challenges for a new mum is finding time for herself to get back into her favorite exercises. If she loves Pilates, she’ll likely appreciate a subscription to an at-home Pilates class like Fluid Form. This way, even if she only has 20 minutes while the baby naps, she can roll out a mat and get moving.

A Comfy Lounge Set

There are days when just getting dressed is a major accomplishment for a new mum (IYKYK), so help her feel a bit more put together on those days with a comfy lounge set. We adore these flare pants and crew knit combo from Nimble.

Shop Nimble, From $139

A Cute Baby Bag

As someone about to embark on motherhood, a stylish baby bag is high on my must-have list. I’m not keen on traditional styles, so when friends recommended The Philé Baby Bag, I was hooked. I even bought a second one for a friend due shortly after me. They make a wonderful gift that can be useful long after the baby years.

Kahlia Skin LED Silicone Radiant Mask – Face, Neck & Décolletage

Gift her another 'me-time' moment with the Kahlia Skin LED Silicone Radiant Mask. It’s a two-piece mask delivering targeted LED light therapy to the face, neck, and décolletage, using 132 high-quality LEDs per piece.

Mecca The Maker Lover Eau de Parfum

There’s something truly satisfying about concluding your morning routine with a delightful new fragrance. While gifting a perfume can be tricky, a little research can go a long way. Check out what’s already in their bathroom cabinet and note their fragrance preferences — floral, woody, citrus, fresh. Currently, our recommendation is The Maker’s Lover Eau de Parfum, a mesmerizing, woody scent composed of creamy sandalwood, luscious fig, and sparkling vetiver.

Sarah & Sebastian Multi Petite Letter Necklace

There’s something incredibly touching about gifting a new mum a piece of jewelry that honors the birth of their baby. These letter necklaces from Sarah & Sebastian are such a thoughtful gift idea; you can add mum, dad, and baby’s initials to create a cherished family heirloom.

Bugaboo Kangaroo

If your group chat is considering getting the mum-to-be a special gift, pooling together for one of the big three — a cot, pram, or car seat — is a fantastic idea. As a soon-to-be mama, I found choosing these three items overwhelming (and costly), so having friends come together to gift one was a huge relief. The Bugaboo Kangaroo is one of the latest and greatest prams, especially if she plans on having more than one child.

Shop Bugaboo, From $1,199

The Dinner Ladies Gift Voucher

We all know mums pour love into dinners, but after giving birth, cooking might not be top of mind. Gift her a home-cooked meal with a voucher to The Dinner Ladies. They prepare and deliver a range of delicious home-cooked meals that any new mum will greatly appreciate.
