Mothers day gift experiences and ideas for expecting mothers

Mothers Day is around the corner and mums, new and veteran, will be expecting some form of special treatment (whether we get said special treatment or not is another story!)

But what would be a great gift for an expectant mother, especially when she can’t drink alcohol or go on a racecar experience day (I’m sure she’d want to if it weren’t for the pandemic – or the pregnancy)? And what are good mothers day gifts besides flowers and a gift box of some kind?

First-time mums tend to overspend on maternity/baby gifts. It’s like a rite of passage we all go through where we buy the unnecessary, necessary stuff until we realise we don’t need most of it anyway.

So, check out some Mothers day gift experiences and ideas that they’ll/we’ll actually use (pass this Mother’s Day gift guide on to your partner so they’re in on the secret to the perfect thoughtful gifts for us too)!

Psst, these gifts can also double up as great baby shower gifts for new mums too, so win-win!

A comfortable set of maternity/nursing bras

During pregnancy, your bra size will fluctuate from pre-pregnancy cuteness to maternity melons. They’ll get even bigger after birth then they’ll slowly reduce in size until they hit that post-pregnancy plateau. So one of the most important Mothers Day gift ideas experiences you can surprise an expecting mum with are comfortable maternity/nursing bras. Maternity bras tend to be padded and non-wired for comfort, to allow for room to grow. They should also double up as nursing bras should mum want to breastfeed, which means they’ll clip and unclip at the bra strap for ease of use. Some great bras which are super comfortable for pregnant mums are:

These Grey/White Non-Wired Padded Nursing Bras from Next offer maximum comfort and are on the larger size, if you’re like me and you’re already carrying bazoongas.

Bravado Designs Plunge Nursing Bras are also very comfortable and provide a smooth contour without compromising on flexibility. The soft yet structured bra adjusts with your body as you grow during pregnancy and fluctuate during nursing.

A comfortable set of briefs/underwear

As your top half grows so does your bottom half. A good fitting over the bump set of 100% cotton briefs like these Lace Briefs can offer maximum comfort. Opt for high-waisted underpants too so that if you end up having a c section, they fit over the scar and not ride on it. This helps to prevent friction and infection.

Comfortable maternity clothes

Comfortable maternity clothes, especially when mum has grown a few sizes, can provide that extra bit of comfort when needed. Flowing long tops like the MAMA V-Neck Tunic from H&M are also great at hiding other lumps but keeps the focus on that gorgeous pregnant bump. It also offers breathing space when all mum wants is for things to be off her skin, especially during the third trimester!

Experience gifts for every type of mum – Comfortable shoes

As you enter the later stages of pregnancy, footwear comfort becomes crucial. The Black Tulip Studio Farro Flat Chelsea Boot in Caramel Suede* is an exemplary choice for mums-to-be seeking ease and style. These boots feature a slip-on design, which is a Godsend for when bending over becomes a challenge. The soft caramel suede offers a versatile look that pairs effortlessly with a variety of maternity outfits, while the flat design ensures comfort for your feet, which is essential as you prepare for motherhood. Whether you’re running errands or simply enjoying a day out, these Chelsea boots* are designed to provide maximum comfort without compromising on style

These Imitation Suede Shoes from H&M are also easy to slip on and look great against black leggings and the black tunic top that they should become a staple in every pregnant woman’s shoe rack. Who says maternity clothing has to look dowdy!

If you still want some height but you’re too scared to strut in stilettos, go for these Platform Boots from H&M, which has a zip on the side so you can slip into them easily, but still add a few extra inches to your height. They also look fab with leggings or a long flowy maxi dress. Switch it up during pregnancy to keep your spirits high!

If you’re still exercising during pregnancy then, again, good for you! These Mesh Trainers from H&M are very comfortable for walking or even running during pregnancy, provided you’ve okayed it with your doctor first. The stripes on the trainers also light up in the dark so they’re perfect for those short days during winter.

Protection for her newborn

Travel becomes an experience once you have the baby, so mum needs to ensure she has everything to hand to weather all seasons in the UK. Apart from a comfortable and secure pram, accessories like a warm waterproof blanket can ensure the baby is protected, no matter the weather.

Bundlebean’s 5 in 1 Multipurpose Cover, Go, is a wonderful blanket that’s so multifunctional it fits onto buggies, bike seats, car seats and quality baby carriers. You can also open it out flat to use as a travel rug or play mat, so it’s worth the investment. We’ve got ours in the newly launched ‘bees’ pattern, which looks so cute on the buggy. Check out the Instagram pic below of my baby posing with the new blanket.

Help with getting baby to sleep at night!

It’s well known that once babies come along, your sleep disappears for an indefinite amount of time. But, it’s also a popular belief that swaddling baby helps them to sleep better at night. If you’re anything like me and never get swaddling right, grab yourself or pregnant mum a Love To Dream Starter Pack, which includes a set of swaddle essentials to ensure little ones are comfortable and safe from day to dream.

You can get different types of togs depending on the weather; the 1.0tog is more suitable for the warmer months and the 2.5tog is thick enough for the winter months. A Starter Pack ensures you have one for bedtime and one spare for washing too. I don’t think you can get better pregnancy presents than something which helps mum sleep at night!

Help to travel with multiple kids

Mama-to-be might have older toddlers so once the new baby comes along she’ll need a way to transport both baby and toddler either in a double buggy or a buggy with a buggyboard. Cheeky Rascals has a cute Lascal Mini BuggyBoard in either Jungle or Woodland which easily fits more than 99% of pushchairs, prams and strollers, giving tired toddlers a safe place to rest on the buggy. Travel items can make for great gifts for an expecting mother, especially if she has to worry about transporting more than one child.

Cute outfits – just because they’re cute!

Who says you have to just buy the normal white, yellow, blue or pink pastel babysuits? Stretch the imagination and get something really cool that mum can keep sentimentally for years after her babies have grown up. I absolutely love the new Lazy Baby iconic ‘Just done 9 months inside’ babygrows, which comes with a cute matching hat – perfect for those first few days after birth and it makes for a great gift for mum-to-be.

Mothers Day experience gifts every mum will adore – help with feeding

Whether you choose to breastfeed or bottlefeed, feeding can be a hugely difficult milestone to overcome. For first-time expectant mothers, the thought may be daunting before they’ve even got to try both methods out.

You may be one of the lucky ones and birth a baby who knows how to breastfeed straight away or you may have a problem with latching, which ultimately leads to cracked, sore nipples. Breastpumps can help take the pressure off your boobs and provide some respite so your partner or a loved one can feed the baby while you take some time off. I love the Medela Swing Flex™ 2-Phase Electric Breast Pump which is quick and efficient for whenever you need it, and, most importantly, when you need that all-important break!

FAQ

Why is it important to celebrate Mother’s Day?

Celebrating Mother’s Day holds special significance when mum is pregnant for several reasons:

1. Acknowledging the Transition to Motherhood: Pregnancy is a significant period in a woman’s life, marking her transition into motherhood. Celebrating Mother’s Day during this time helps honour this important journey. It’s a recognition of her soon-to-be status as a mother and the love, care, and nurturing she’s already providing to her unborn child.
2. Emotional Support and Recognition: Pregnancy can be an emotionally intense and challenging time, filled with anticipation, anxiety, and a myriad of changes—both physical and emotional. Celebrating Mother’s Day offers an opportunity to show support for these changes, helping mum feel valued.
3. Strengthening Bonds: It’s a chance for partners, family, and friends to bond with mum and express their excitement about the new arrival. This celebration can strengthen relationships and build a supportive community around her.
4. Focus on Self-care and Well-being: Pregnant women often prioritise the well-being of their unborn child and may neglect their own needs. Mother’s Day can be a reminder for them to take care of themselves, emphasising the importance of self-care and relaxation.
5. Creating Memories: Celebrating Mother’s Day during pregnancy adds to the treasure trove of memories that the mother can look back on fondly. It’s a beautiful way to commemorate the pregnancy period as a time of joy and anticipation.
6. Boosting Mental Health: Positive experiences can have a beneficial impact on mental health. Being the centre of affection and attention on Mother’s Day can boost the expectant mother’s mood, reduce stress, and contribute to a positive pregnancy experience.
7. Acknowledging Her Efforts and Sacrifices: Pregnancy involves numerous physical and emotional sacrifices. Recognising these efforts on Mother’s Day is a way of showing appreciation for all that she is doing to bring a new life into the world.
