Top Ten Valentine's Gifts for New Moms
February 4th, 2010 by Diane Sam
Well, it's that time of year again.... hearts and flowers and all that jazz! I know a lot of new moms feel that romance is the last thing on their minds, but for all you dads out there, this is a great time to show your girl how much you love her... and how much you appreciate her! So here is our Valentine gift suggestions for the nursing mom ....
1. Of course, a new MoBoleez breastfeeding hat shows her how much you appreciate the effort she is making to breastfeed! She may want a different design or colour, something fun to show the world she's a proud new mom!
2. Jewellery that celebrates motherhood. My friend Wendy from PumpEase is now carrying some great "Mother Goddess" necklaces. These stunning hand-crafted ceramic pendants are available in four non-toxic, low-fire glaze colours - Stone Turquoise, Ivory, Ebony and Terra Cotta - effortlessly coordinating with anything and everything in your wardrobe!
3. Fun tank tops and nursing tops for the nursing mom. Fun, sexy and practical! Check out the great selection at MoBoleez online retailer "Bumble Wee Nursing Wear".
4. Yes, you can buy nursing nighties that are comfortable, romantic and beautiful! Check out the selection at MoBoleez online retailer, "A Mother's Boutique":
5. A fun, stylish baby wrap - not only are they great for carrying around baby, they have great 'eco-mama' style. Check out MoBoleez retailer, Matern Baby, who carries some great, fashionable wraps.
6. Gift Certificates for some online shopping - new moms sometimes have a hard time getting out of the house, but they still love to shop! A lot of online retailers offer pre-pay gift cards or gift certificates. MoBoleez retailer "A Mother's Boutique" offers gift certificates, and they have a great selection of gifts for the new mom. http://www.mothersboutique.com/gice.html
7. Pampering. Check out the local spas in your area that offer "Mommy" specials: (e.g. Le Petit Spa in Vancouver)
8. Matching Mommy and Baby outfits! So cute! Check out these at "Glamajama": http://www.glamajama.com/mommy-me-sets-s/99.htm - "from the crib to the catwalk" ..... how cool, eh???
9. Organic body care and cosmetics. Pamper moms with organic, natural body care products. As a nursing mom (or mom-to-be) your sweetie is going to be extra sensitive to chemicals and harsh ingredients. Check out this breastfeeding support kit from "Earth Mama Angel Baby" : http://www.earthmamaangelbaby.com/product/breastfeeding-support
and, finally.....
10. Your time.Your support. Your love. Yes, take off work early, go grocery shopping, come home and cook her dinner (and clean up!!!) Let her know you love her by supporting her breastfeeding goals. Your support can make all the difference.
