So, here’s an invitation from your “bestest” friend for her upcoming baby shower, and like her, you are excited to see her little bundle of joy after watching her pregnancy week-by-week. But what should you buy as a gift?

Now you’re torn among the hefty baby stuff you see online as you check that most recommended shop. Swaddle blankets, nursing bottles, baby clothes, you name it; that shop would definitely have it. Will your best friend like any of it? Who would not want to save so much money in receiving gifts for the baby, right?

But hold your thoughts for a minute. Others would definitely get those baby stuff for her, and she would probably receive tons of nursing pads, towelettes, tiny baby socks, and other baby whatnots. For her, two breast pumps already sound like plenty!

While preparing for the baby’s natal day is an absolute joy for everyone, shift your gears and look in your best friend’s direction instead. Make her feel the excitement of being a first-time mum by giving her gifts that would surely bring out the coolest and prettiest mum in her.

Here’s a quick list you can dive into for great ideas.

Nursing Pillows

Tiresome nights are on the deck. But while it is still your friend who’s holding the reign, prepare her for the not-so-restful nights with nursing pillows. These are the ideal pillows for breastfeeding mums as it makes latching a bit easier. The best part is it could help prevent back pains. It can be positioned on the lap to help the baby latch without your arms, shoulders, and back getting that tight muscle pain. Most of these pillows have adjustable straps to fit any body type. Some you can use while sitting or lying down.

Organiser pouches

Make every visit to the doctor or walk at the park stylish and fab with multi-coloured organiser pouches. Assign a colour for every item to make packing easier. There are pouches the size of a nappy and some smaller to carry little trinkets needed for the baby while wandering around with mum outside the house. Who says hitting the malls can’t be organized when a baby is around?

Pyjama Set

Your best friend might need a new set of sleepwear after giving birth. Getting all comfy in bed with comfy clothes on would be like heaven for her after having to ease out into the world with the weight from her tummy. Choose from various designs, styles, and fabrics. If she’s into silk and satin, spoil her with that! Surely, you can pinpoint the one she likes.

Cordless Printer

A cordless printer might be one of every new mum’s must-haves on the list. While keeping all the photos in the camera roll is very convenient, it would be a lot nicer if photo prints were just an arm’s length away. Just choose the best shot, send it to print, and another photograph is ready to be stared at the whole day.

Photo Journal

Photo journals are never getting old. It’s like a diary of unspoken words. The compilation of captured moments is best viewed larger than the phone’s camera. With a photo journal, the pictures tend to have a more sentimental vibe in it. Check out the many colours and sizes available in shops.

Temperature-Controlled Mug

With a lot of things going on around the house, getting those few minutes of savouring tea or coffee could be a little impossible if a tiny human demands a lot of attention. The temperature-controlled mug would make it seem that the drinks had just got prepared. No kidding yourself, but you could definitely use a warm pick-me-up with a stolen few minutes to yourself.

Make giving a lot more meaningful when you think of the person receiving it. Help make the first-time mum feel more loved and celebrated with these gifts. It is just a simple reward for carrying some tiny toes in her tummy for nine months!
