Hello!

What is a good gift for a mum expecting baby number two? I thought a Visa gift card and maybe some preserved flowers that can be displayed. I don’t know the person too well, it is a work colleague. Maybe a pamper pack for Mum for post birth?

  • I think something special just for her, maybe a massage or facial spa.. or a care package for her…all her necessities she will need.


  • Post natal massage is the best!


  • Post natal massage service would be a great one because they probably wouldn’t take the time to themselves post birth, being so busy. This would force them to think about putting themselves first.


  • If she is planning on breastfeeding, I’d recommend a haakaa silicone pump, i found this an absolute must have.


  • I like meal vouchers depending what’s available where you live a pamper pack for Mum is a lovely idea too.


  • Pamper pack sounds lovely or a food/meal voucher


  • I’ll be getting them a love to dream swaddle because it definitely made our life easier!


  • Things like new cot sheets might be appreciated if it’s been a while between babies (or the older child is in a toddler bed that still uses cot sized sheets).


  • Pamper pack definitely a great idea!


  • What everyone else is saying. A hamper. I personally would buy things for the baby if it’s the first baby. I bought a toy box and filled it with nappies, nappy bags, bath toys, etc. Things I liked and used for my babies.
    I also crochet a unicorn stacking ring.
    But if it’s not the first baby I would probably buy a little gift for the mum rather the baby.


  • I myself would put together a pamper pack for expecting mum for after the birth of baby, I would include a variety of things from body washes, soaps, moisturiser, gift cards, some chocolates, lollies or a journal or baby record book just little simple things that mum can enjoy.


  • I always like to buy something for the mum rather than the bub – maybe a facial or a massage?


  • I always do a little hamper up with bits and bobs I found super handy.
    -infacol
    -panadol
    -wipes
    -sudocrem
    – chocolate
    -lollies
    -tea
    -childrens books
    -rattle
    -swaddle
    -you foodz voucher
    -reuseable coffee cup with a lid


  • Magazines, books, chocolates, facial products, foot massage voucher, hair voucher.


  • For a second time mum, I would recommend either something for mum herself like pamper pack or voucher. Another idea is a visa gift card or similar or a gift card to a baby store or a store like Target. There will always be something the mum will need.
