Literally a priceless gift to mums! Slip this cute Etsy voucher — which you can download for $1 — inside a Christmas card and you’ll make someone’s day/year.
Babysitting Voucher, $1.10
A beautiful scarf is a great gift for mums. It doubles as a cloth/feeding cover/sun shield and instantly makes any outfit look styled. We love this silk-cotton one which can also be worn as a beach sarong. Sold!
Scarf, $79.95
A sweet gift from little ones to mum, or from friends or partners who (quite rightly) think you’re a super mum.
A big bag is a pretty safe investment for any new mum, but make it a stylish one like this neoprene tote which also comes with a detachable clutch on the off chance that you find yourself leaving the house without eight million things!
This luxury hamper is a no-brainer with gorgeous bits for mum (come to mama, choccies and prosecco) and bub.
Gourmet Basket Mum and Bub Treats, $181.95
Chances are it’s been a while since you (or the mum you’re shopping for) has treated herself to a nice top that works for every occasion. This bright floral number is super flattering and the cross-body design makes feeding easy. Plus, H&M have a painless returns policy so if, for any reason it doesn’t fit, it’s easily exchanged.
H&M Blouse, $12.99
You know what makes a thoughtful gift? Food. Shopped for by someone else. Or, even better, cooked by someone else! Food services like Hello Fresh, Marley Spoon and Dinner Ladies all offer gift cards. Start dropping hints now!
Hello Fresh Gift Card, from $75.95 (which gets you three meals for two adults)
Along with a love you never knew existed and the ability to survive on little-to-no sleep, applying the fastest face of makeup also becomes a newly-developed skill when you become a mum. Clinique’s much-loved Chubby Sticks will be a welcome addition to any mum’s makeup case. They make you look alive and glam in less than five seconds. Hooray!
Nest Cam Outdoor helps you look after your home and backyard 24/7, rain or shine. It gives you alerts when something happens, and lets you stream your security camera straight to your phone if you’re out, or Google Home Hub if you’re in another room. A great gadget for new families this festive season.
Give the gift of a good (well, better) night’s sleep. This duo isn’t called the Dream Team for no reason. Infused with a calming blend of lavender, vetiver and chamomile, they’ll help ease the stresses of the day. A thoughtful gift for fellow mums.
This Peter Alexander nightie is both pretty and practical. Super cosy, the button-down front suits round-the-clock feeding and the curved hem and piping details, along with the luxe fabric, won’t make you feel so bad about spending the day in PJs. One for the Christmas list as you’re probably never going to spend $80 on pyjamas yourself!
Cloud Nightshirt, $79.95
No words necessary; 75 minutes of pure bliss? Yes please! Endota Spa has a bunch of locations nationwide making this voucher an easy gift for mums both near and far.
Long, dark nights and grubby little hands don’t mix all that well with paperbacks, so splash out on a new e-reader for Christmas. You’ll tear through the latest Liane Moriarty novel while doing the dream feeds.
Kobo Aura E-Reader, $179.95
Stylish, timeless, big enough to hide dark circles, and expensive enough that you feel spoilt, but not so expensive that you’ll cry (much) if anything happens to them, we reckon these are the perfect sunnies.
Carolina Lemke Berlin Sunglass, $89.99
