New Mom Gift Basket
Get moms a gift basket full of treats for the mom or some small items that may go forgotten. It doesn’t have to be a huge basket, or it could be huge and extravagant, you decide what your budget can afford. Check out my post here for more ideas.
Spa Trip
Gift the mom-to-be a trip to the spa. Offer to watch any other kids she has so she has the time to relax and take some time getting a manicure, pedicure, massage, or even just a hair cut. This is probably a better option for before the baby comes.
If you can’t afford to pay for a spa trip, you can offer an in home spa night together as friends! Give each other a facial, foot massages, paint your nails- make a girls night of it for a fraction of the price.
House Cleaner
Pay for the new mom to have her home cleaned. New moms are busy and especially if it’s not her first baby she probably has no time to keep her home in order. Ask her first in case there’s someone she would or wouldn’t prefer to do this.
If you can’t afford a cleaning service, you can also offer to clean her house yourself! Or even washing dishes, folding and putting away a load of laundry, or cleaning the bathroom would probably be a welcomed gift.
Door Dash Pass
If the mom-to-be orders out a ton, she would probably love to have a door dash pass. If she doesn’t order out a ton, she might enjoy it for a bit after having a baby. So a great option for the mom to be is to get her door dash pass or a similar product for other services that will deliver the food to her front door. If you aren’t sure, reach out to the mom-to-be and ask her if this is something she may be interested in.
If this isn’t an option for you you can set up a meal train for her and sign up to bring her a meal or two.
Walmart Plus
New moms are busy taking care of their babies so it can be difficult to go out and get groceries. Walmart plus offers free delivery services. It’s $100 a year and worth every penny in my opinion.
If this isn’t an option, you can offer to pick up groceries as most grocery stores have pick up options.
Coupons
Offer the new mom some homemade coupons for a date night, spa night, grocery shopping, home cooked meal, or cleaning their house. Get creative and come up with some great ideas that the mom can redeem when she needs a break from some of the mom tasks.
