Mark her first Mother's Day with these 21 considerate gifts

Pure Cashmere Socks

Arguably, a slightly more practical alternative to slippers, considering she can wear these in bed to keep her toes warm, too. Soft to the touch and available in six sweet colours (baby pink, grey, light camel, black, and go-with-everything navy), this little slice of luxury is sure to be appreciated daily.

It goes without saying that mums of all ages can't get through the day without copious cups of tea. So this is a gift that she'll call on for years. Anna + Nina do my favourite oversized mugs — all of which are hand-painted — and will effectively keep her thirst quenched when nap trapped.

Whoop Band 5.0

Mama's got to look after herself to effectively look after her newborn, and the Whoop Band will help her do just that. Tracking her sleep, HRV and blood oxygen round the clock, it then offers in-depth insights and recommendations to help optimise her fitness, recovery, and overall health. A considerate gift that'll encourage her to keep up her self-care.

First Mother’s Day for Mummy and Me

Consider yourself a wordsmith? Wonderbly gives you the option to draft a personalised bedside story that the new mum in your life is sure to enjoy, too. Written as if from baby to Mummy, we insist you pack it full of compliments and words of thanks, as well as little traditions the pair have developed in their first few weeks together.

Cotton Towelling Embroidered Good Morning Dressing Gown

With a new baby, sometimes getting dressed is just one thing too many to think about in the morning. This cotton towelling option is both lightweight and cosy, plus comes fitted with patch pockets to hold all the essentials — dummies, muslin cloths, bibs…. and while currently available in a limited size range (UK 6-8, 10-12 or 14-16), its relaxed silhouette and self-tie belt mean it should work for most.

L'Occitane Shea (Karité) Hand Cream with Magic Key

With all the sterilising, bathing and nappy changing, her hands are likely in need of a little TLC. My favourite hand cream ever, it features a high concentration of organic fair-trade shea butter, working effectively on especially dry skin. Even better news: 95% of what's inside comes from natural origins.

The Mother's Joy Hamper

With the lack of sleep, near-constant breastfeeding, and cycles of family first-meets, your new mum will need to keep her energy up. Thankfully, this gift hamper is packed full of sweet treats she can call on when she starts to dip. This includes a Panettone D'Amore, Traditional Shortbread, a Morello Cherry & Cognac Preserve for an upgrade to her AM toast and Mother's Joy Loose Leaf Tea Tin. Plus, that basket will double as stylish baby storage, too.

Cooling Jersey Relaxed Piped Pyjama Set

My sisters have confirmed that a new mum can never have too many sets of pyjamas, considering there's a risk of milk, spit up or dribble decorating each within minutes. This stretchy set from The White Company is also designed to keep her cool, the LENZING ECOVERO fabric working overtime to mimic that ‘cold side of the pillow’ feeling. Available in every size from an XS (UK 4-6) to an XL (18) and finished with luxe mother-of-pearl buttons, we quickly see these becoming one of her favourites.

Personalised Leather Photo Keyring Gift For Her

She might be constantly snapping pics of her baby bestie, but chances are they'll only be used to crowd her camera roll. So, save the few she sends over and use them to decorate this leather keyring, which can also be stamped with her newest title. A great way to help her keep tabs on her keys in her overflowing handbag, too.

Drowsy Silk Sleep Mask

It goes without saying that the new mum in your life will be squeezing in sleep where she can. So, a blackout eye mask that's also kind to her hair and skin? An essential. Made from 22 momme mulberry silk, Drowsy's (bestselling) mask is light-blocking, sound-muffling and hypoallergenic.

Custom Made Personalised Pearl Bracelet

Personalised pendants are sweet, but are in a prime position for spontaneous grabbing by tiny hands. This pearl bracelet can be accessorised with up to five charms, including any letter or tiny hearts — and there's the option to finish it in silver too. But the freshwater pearls carry meaning too, often thought to have energising properties of prosperity and abundance.

Blush and Gold The Mum Journal

I heard my parents say it to every single one of my sisters: “Enjoy every moment because they grow up so fast.” Thankfully, this journal gives them space to reflect and relive their motherhood journey. Thoughtfully crafted with guided prompts and plenty of space for photos, this is sure to be a keepsake she treasures forever.

Saltair Pink Beach Body Butter

Squeezing in five minutes of self-care will go a long way in helping your new mum keep her sanity. This body butter is the ideal after-shower step, considering it's crafted to boost the skin’s barrier and promote continuous hydration. That's down to its effective ceramide complex, fatty acids, phytosterols and phospholipids, as well as sea buckthorn, coconut oils, and shea butter.

Moments of Wellbeing in The Palm of Your Hand

She might have had an extensive nighttime routine pre-baby, but she's probably just about managing to brush her teeth at the moment. Thankfully, this quartet of hand creams all come infused with aromatherapy heroes — think tranquil and mind-melting lavender, indulgent jasmine and joy-inducing neroli blossom — to help lift her mood or incite a sense of calm when needed. To benefit, all she needs to do is warm a pea-sized amount in her hands before cupping them over her nose and breathing in for 7 seconds.

Funny New Mum 'Need Some Sleep' Pink Candle

Among the sleepless nights and low-level anxiety that surround being a new mum, she might just need a laugh. This candle, which states the obvious, can be scented with any one of six options — although I'd highly recommend Chilled Vibes, infused with fresh citrus and eucalyptus. Or upgrade your gift to a hamper, which will pack your candle in a cute gift box alongside bath salts and a motivational matchbox.
