After bringing new life into the world, new moms need many things — some tangible and some more emotional. From a rejuvenating night’s sleep to help sustaining healthy habits, new moms need a lot of support from the people in their community. This holiday, consider giving new moms gifts that can enhance their health and rejuvenate their mind, body, and spirit.
With so many things to buy and a new baby, parents may not have much left for themselves. You can help new moms prioritize self-care, health, and wellness — even on a tight budget — with any one of these ideas from the professionals at Spa Industry Association.
Hairdryer Brushes: This hairdryer and brush combo helps a mom save time and money by drying her hair while brushing, giving her a salon-style mane every morning. With prices that range from $20 to $175, you can find the perfect hot-air brush for any budget.
Nursing Nightgowns: On average, new moms can expect to nurse their babies around 8–12 times in a 24-hour period — most of which happen at night. A well-priced nursing nightgown will not only make those nighttime feedings easier, but fun and flirty styles will help new moms feel sexy and more confident too.
Bedroom Makeover: Help a new mom get that much-needed good night’s sleep with comfy pillows, blankets, soft lights, or sleep-improvement gadgets. Take advantage of deals and discounts on these premium items by using Bed Bath and Beyond promo codes.
Outdoor Activities: With so many gifts focusing on babies’ health, you can instead help new moms focus on their own health by maintaining their outdoor hobbies. Grab them cool gear like a new tennis racquet with pinpoint precision or a golf cart cover to keep them warm and cozy while playing in the winter.
Online Yoga Subscription: From postpartum to mommy-and-me yoga, online yoga platforms like Gaia, YogiApproved, and Glo can help new moms restore their minds while toning their bodies — all from the comfort of their own homes. Many of these subscription sites offer some pretty impressive holiday discounts that can make a year of yoga a very affordable gift.
Care Packages: Create a custom care package with their favorite at-home spa and wellness treatments, like milk baths, facials, skin brighteners, hair treatments, and other soothing gifts from this curated list of favorites.
Postpartum Self-Care: New moms are in a period of healing after giving birth. What they may have wanted in the past may not be applicable to this new normal. Help them focus on healing with a Postpartum Pamper Box from Bodily or a Coconut Oil Trio Set from Bubbsi.
CBD Oil Products: CBD oil can help reduce inflammation, reduce pain, and improve mood. Whether taken as an oral supplement or a topical cream, people of all ages and health conditions praise the healing properties of CBD. Just be sure to do your research and make sure you buy products safe for a breastfeeding mom.
Pampering a new mom through the first few trying months post-delivery can be a superb way to celebrate her and her new journey this holiday season. We understand the importance of health and wellness in a new mother’s life. In addition to resources like this, the Spa Industry Association offers webinars and virtual events, so check back often!
