Gift Ideas for the Expectant Mom

Thoughtful gift ideas to make the journey of expectant moms extra special

If you are you looking to spoil a new mom in your life? Well, you've come to the right place! At Nest & Sprout, we understand the joy and excitement that comes with welcoming a little one into the world. That's why we've put together this ultimate gift guide to help you find the perfect presents for the expecting mom.

Now - this is a list of physical gift ideas, and as a mom myself the best gift you can give a new mom is acts of service that help remove some of the responsibility from her plate. Bringing her a meal, providing gift cards for restaurants, house care, and child minding are really should be top gifting priorities. But we understand, not everyone wants to gift a service - sometimes you're into things.

So, without further ado, let's dive into our handpicked selection of gifts that will make any expecting mom's heart skip a beat - we've curated this list based on feedback from our customers. These are the gifts they remembered, they felt grateful for, and cherished in the months to come, or even decades later.

Comfort and Recovery Essentials

We understand the ups and downs that come with pregnancy and childbirth, so we've carefully selected items that will make mom feel like she's wrapped in a warm hug.

Indulge in Comfort and Style: Sleepwear and Robes for the Expecting Mom

We often ask gift givers - what was the most memorable, or special gift, you received as a new mom. And for many they think of the softness of a new house robe, the comfort of a new pair of pyjamas or even a pair of warm house slippers.

These gifts are simple and yet thoughtful providing warmth and comfort during postpartum from someone special to you. As such, we've worked to expand our sleepwear collection to reflect this unique gift giving idea.

For lounging in comfort throughout the day, our Women's Bamboo Jersey Robe is the ultimate choice. Crafted from a feathery soft bamboo blend fabric, this robe feels exquisite against the skin. Its knee-length design, complete with a gorgeous printed tie, adds a touch of sophistication to any mom's wardrobe.

The Women's Bamboo Sleeping Tunic from Nest Designs is a must-have for a good night's sleep. Made from our ultra-soft signature bamboo-cotton blend, this tunic offers a spa-like experience with its breathability and gentle

Breastfeeding should be a comfortable and convenient experience for every nursing mom. An easy gift idea to spoil the new parent, if they choose to breastfeed, is breastfeeding friendly clothing.

Designed with hidden zippers, nursing sweaters are a fantastic choice for comfort and warmth during postpartum - or nursing tanks can provide support and ease that blends into their wardrobe. Our nursing collection is small but mighty, with staples for the new parent and her family.

These are often items mom's yearn to have, but rarely spend the money on themselves. A gift card to your local baby or parenting shop for a comfortable bra or wardrobe update can also be invaluable.
