Baby’s first Christmas is a special occasion to celebrate, and selecting presents for the newest member of the family is always fun. But it’s a special holiday for the new mom, too. So if you’ve got a new mom to shop for this year, make this a Christmas she’ll remember long after the day has passed with some great new mother gifts. Here are five fun ideas.
Family Character Keepsake Box
This character keepsake box is a great place to store mementos from baby’s first year. The tile inset top features any title up to 12 characters and is decorated with children icons personalized with any name up to 8 characters. Choose up to 6 children per box in your choice of hair color and ethnicity. The words “Treasure Box” will always appear.
Mother and Child Hands Glass Plaque
Children may grow up quickly, but they never get too old to lose their place in mom’s heart. This three-dimensional plaque is a great gift to decorate a wall in any new mom’s home. Crafted of glass and poly-resin, it features a child’s tiny hand grasping Mom’s finger, a wonderful reminder that the bond between mother and child is forever. To make it even more special, you can have it laser-engraved with a message on 2 lines and up to 22 characters per line.
Vintage Baby Block
This is a great keepsake for a new mom. This wooden block is printed in weathered primary colors on all six sides, and you can personalize it with the following: any single initial; baby’s first, middle and last name up to 12 characters each; “born on” birth date, city, state and hospital name up to 2 lines with 16 characters per line; any birth time, weight and length; the names of up to two parents up to 12 characters each; and your message on 4 lines up to 16 characters per line.
Digital Picture Frames
Most new parents love taking photos of the little member of the family. If the new mom on your gift list enjoys taking pics and needs a place to display all those images of her latest arrival, a digital photo frame is a great gift idea. These devices can hold dozens of photos and rotate them so the new mom can continually enjoy new pictures of her baby. Prices on these products have come down a lot in recent years, so you can now buy a nice frame for under $50 or pay a bit more to have a larger viewing area, more memory or additional features.
Day of Luxury
Being a new mom is hard work, so why not give her a day of luxury? Sites such as Great American Days and Cloud 9 Living specialize in “experience gifts” ranging from a day at a spa to a home-cooked meal prepared by a personal chef to hot air balloon rides and many other adventures. Give Mom a gift certificate for one of these sites and she can choose her own pampering experience.
Christmas ideas for new moms don’t have to be complicated or expensive. With some thought and creativity, you can give Christmas presents Mom will enjoy today and for years to come.
