Mother's Day Gift Guide for Expecting and New Moms

Pregnancy prayer cards set with 40 weekly affirmation cards

Finding a Mother is Day gift for someone who is about to become a mom or just became one is different from the usual flowers and chocolate. She is in a completely new chapter of life and the best gifts acknowledge that.

Here is a gift guide organized by what stage she is in.

For the Expecting Mom

She is counting down the weeks and everything revolves around the baby that is coming. These gifts honor her journey right now.

  • Pregnancy journal - A premium hardcover journal to document every week of pregnancy. Space for bump photos, ultrasound images, cravings and letters to the baby. The kind of gift she will re-read for the rest of her life.
  • Pregnancy prayer cards - 40 cards with prayers and affirmations, one for each week. Perfect for the mom who finds strength in faith. Each card brings a moment of calm during an intense time.
  • Announcement box - If she has not told everyone yet, give her a beautiful way to do it. Personalized card and handmade crochet toy inside.

For the New Mom

She is in the thick of it. Sleep deprived, overwhelmed with love and possibly still in pajamas at 3 PM. These gifts show you get it.

  • Baby memory book - She wants to remember everything but her brain is running on two hours of sleep. A memory book gives her a place to capture milestones before they blur together. Comes with photo corners and milestone cards.
  • Baby stickers - Cute sticker sheets for decorating memory book pages and marking monthly milestone photos. A small gift that gets used over and over.
  • Wooden play gym - A Montessori toy that keeps the baby entertained while mom gets a few minutes to breathe. Handmade from natural wood and crochet toys. Beautiful in any nursery.

For the Godmother

Mother is Day is not just for biological moms. Godmothers play a special role too.

  • Godparent keepsake box - If she became a godmother recently, a personalized box with a handmade toy and a card saying "Thank you for being her/his godmother" is the kind of gift that makes someone cry happy tears.

Gift Bundles That Work

Add a Personal Touch

Whatever you choose, include a handwritten note. It does not need to be long. "You are going to be an amazing mom" or "You already are" is enough. That note will probably end up tucked inside whatever keepsake you gave, read again and again on hard days.
