Unique gift ideas for new moms or moms-to-be

I’m at the end of my pregnancy and Christmas is around the corner. Double hooray! As we get closer to my favorite holiday, my family keeps asking me “What do you want for Christmas?”

That’s tough to answer because I have 5 1/2 weeks left until the baby’s here, so I don’t want MORE maternity clothes, but I can’t ask for post-partum clothes because I have no idea what my size will be after delivery.

I’ve tried to think of some stuff that will tie in with the new baby and here’s what I’ve come up. Below are some unique gift ideas to give a new or expectant mom for Christmas.

Confession: It’s not on the list but would make a great gift… just this morning I purchased myself a pair of slippers online. I ask for a pair every year, and I really wanted these (they’re black with sequins and fur!)…so I told my husband we can wrap them and put them under the tree from Chloé. Not really the way Christmas should be done, but I’m desperate for a new pair!

For the Fashionista Mom

Teething Bling

Babies love to grab and chew and because of that most moms don’t wear jewelry when their kids are young. Teething Bling is trying to change that and has created a fashionable necklace that serves a dual purpose!

It’s made from the same material as most teething toys and it’s safe for curious babies to handle and chew. Teething Bling products are non-toxic, phthalate, BPA, PVC, latex and lead free and all pendants come with a breakaway clasp as an added safety measure.

Celebrity moms like Tori Spelling, Ali Landry, Angela Basset and Holly Robinson Peete are wearing it too! I have three and can’t wait to use them with my new baby boy. I think I might gift one to my mom too. This could make a for a fun gift for an aunt or caregiver too!

For the Expectant Mom

Prenatal Massage

Towards the end of pregnancy it’s tough to find any comfortable position. You can’t sleep on your back or stomach, and even sleeping on your side can lead to leg cramps. I’ve noticed I’m even uncomfortable sitting at my work desk for long periods of time.

So, giving a massage as a gift to a loved one or friend is a fantastic idea as it will really help the mommy-to-be in such a physically stressful time.

Price: An hour-long session can cost anywhere from about $60 to $150, depending on where you live.

For the Super-Organized Mom

Tiny Prints Latest Coupons & Deals“>Mommy Contact Cards

A new trend moms are seeing now are Mommy Contact Cards. The contact cards are like a business card that holds a parent’s information that could be handy in setting up play dates.

These would be great for a mom who plans on joining play groups and most likely won’t be carrying a pen on her. Diapers and bottles do tend to take over any diaper bag!

You can jazz them up by adding photos to them too. I personally would keep a photo of my child off it and make it with just my number and email, but the options are endless!

Price: As low as $0.39 a card

For the Mom and Baby on the Go!

WarmZe

If you’re a busy mom you’ll know how frustrating it can be to have to serve your baby a cold bottle while on-the-go.

Babies often need to be fed while in the car, in the store or even an airplane.

The WarmZe portable bottle warmer is a system that consists of air-activated warmers and a fabric BottleSoc. Each disposable, all natural, biodegradable wrap provides 12 hours of slow natural heat that can warm multiple bottles in a single day! Genius!

Fun fact, WarmZe also helps to preserve vitamins and nutrients in milk and formula when compared to flash heating methods.
