Best New Mommy Care Package Ideas
1. Water Bottle
Every single new mom needs a dynamite water bottle because staying hydrated is so important.
Here are a few options she would be thrilled to get from you.
2. Chocolates
She will feel all the love when you gift her some chocolates. They are well deserved after all she has been through.
3. Lip Balm
Treat your mama to the Laneige lip sleeping mask. It will keep her lips so hydrated.
She can use it all day long too as lip balm like I do.
The best part is that it lasts forever.
4. Shower Steamers
She will feel so relaxed every time she uses one of these shower steamers.
And she will love that they make her bathroom smell like a spa.
5. Sugar Body Scrub
Tree Hut has and fantastic sugar body scrub and every woman should be using it. It exfoliates the skin, leaving it so soft.
My favorites are Coco Colada and Tropical Glow but I love that beachy smell any time of the year.
6. Lotion
Her body will be going through so many hormone changes and that means she may have extra dry skin.
Help her skin stay soft and hydrated with some lotion.
If you are on a budget then you can’t go wrong with Aveeno fragrance free lotion.
But if you can spend a little bit more, Youth to the People body butter is where it’s at.
7. Hair Items
New mamas can’t shower as often as they like and this is where having the following hair items will be lifesavers.
8. Blanket
This Ugg blanket is so great for her to snuggle under with her new baby.
No worries, it is completely machine washable so it can survive baby spit up.
9. Cozy Socks
She will love wearing these soft and cozy soft.
There are no-slip little grippers on them too.
10. Ugg Slippers
Another must have item for her feet is slippers. Ugg slippers are dynamite and will last her for so many years.
11. Bathrobe
She will use this bathrobe when she gets out of the shower but also when she gets up with her new baby in the bight.
12. Heating Pad and Ice Packs
She is going to be sore in multiple places and a large heating pad and flexible ice packs will help give her relief.
Make sure the ice packs are the flexible ones - so important!
13. Digital Picture Frame
She will instantly be obsessed with this digital picture frame.
It is so easy to load pictures to it and she will love seeing all the pictures of her new baby on it.
14. Oil Diffuser
Her home will smell so good with this oil diffuser.
Unlike a candle, it will turn itself off when the water runs out.
15. Journal
If you are looking to keep this new mom gift simple, get her a journal and some felt tip pens.
She can easily jot down thoughts, memories, and reminders.
16. Reading Material
Your girl will have some time on her hands while she is feeding her new baby. And I can assure you, she will get bored of watching shows.
Get her some reading material like a new book or magazine.
The best gift I got myself when I had my 3rd baby was a Kindle. I could use it one handed which was perfect because that was all I had open.
I have used it almost every single day since I got it.
17. French Press
Your girl can have coffee again. I repeat – COFFEE!
This French Press will help her make the most delicious coffee.
Toss in a bag of her favorite coffee too. If you don’t know it, Dunkin’ Donuts regular coffee is a pretty safe choice.
18. Yeti Mug
Keep the coffee theme going with a Yeti tumbler or 2.
It will keep her coffee hotter way longer than a cup and she can easily take it on the go.
19. Coffee Cup
However, if you know she prefers to drink her coffee from a cup, go with a new coffee cup.
20. Coffee Cup Warmer
This coffee cup warmer will help her coffee stay warm while she is running around helping her new baby.
21. Nail Polish
Get her a bottle or 2 of nail polish. It is sure to brighten her mood.
I have had the best luck with the Essie brand.
22. Fragrance Free Laundry Detergent
Her and her baby’s skin can be sensitive to fragrances for a while. Fragrance-free laundry detergent is amazing.
23. Cozy Sweatshirt
Just as her body was doing lots of changes during her pregnancy, her body will be doing lots of changes post-pregnancy so clothes won’t seem to fit right.
Get her a cozy sweatshirt that she will instantly fall in love with.
Yes, I know this is a men's sweatshirt but it is so good. The sizing does run a little large though, so watch for that.
