It’s the season for Holiday Gift Guides and I am having way too much fun searching online for the best gift ideas for everyone. This year, I have been looking for baby, toddlers, women, men and now more specifically, the new mom in your life. I just had a baby 4 weeks ago (how has it already ben 4 weeks?) and I have so many friends and cousins who just had babies or are currently pregnant, so I have new moms on the brain.
Gift Ideas for the New Mom:
Coffee and mug
Diapers and Wipes
Massage or Spa Package
Gift Basket filled with Essentials
Cozy Socks
Pajamas
Yoga Pants
VTech VM341-216 Bear 2 Camera Full Color Video Monitor
Nail Polish
How to Make a DIY Hospital Door Hanger:
What you need:
Stamps
Stamp pad or paint
Wood letter
Paint pen
Ribbon or Twine
Wood Glue
How to Make it:
- I lucked out and found a wooden letter that was already painted white which is what I was planning to use as the background color anyway.
- I dipped my oversized stamps in an ink pad (I used espresso) and pressed the stamp down firmly to the letter.
- I pushed down everywhere really hard to make sure I got plenty of ink on the letter.
- I then took my paint pen and wrote Weston’s birth date, weight, length and time on the letter.
- I attached twine to the back of the letter with wood glue so that I could hang it if I want to, although right now, it is sitting on his shelf.
To make the perfect gift for a new mom, make a sign that she can fill in later! I love gift baskets, so I put one together to see how it would look and I love it! Including essentials like diapers, wipes, coffee (all the coffee) and the new VTech Bear Video Monitor made a great gift basket! I would cry happy tears if I received this as a gift from someone. I love the way the letter turned out and we have really enjoyed using the VTech Bear Video Monitor! I love the bear camera because it can be easily disguised on a shelf and fits in the nursery really well! This monitor came with a second camera so that I can see the babies from multiple angles. It is so convenient!
The VTech Bear Video Monitors are available exclusively at Babies”R”Us in-stores and online! Both cameras have automatic night vision and full-color video that displays on a large 4.3-inch color LCD screen so you don’t miss a thing! The VTech Bear Video Monitor features a two-way, talk-back intercom as well as built-in lullabies and other soothing sounds so that you can comfort your baby without having to go in the nursery every 5 seconds. This is especially nice for us because our kids will be sharing a room soon. The VM341-216 comes with two cameras, but you can add up to two more if you need to! We will be adding one more to keep an eye on all three kids as well as having one in our room to spy on Weston when he is napping during the day. It has digital transmission so the video is private and secure. VTech offers feature-rich and modern baby monitors that are stylish and offer parents peace of mind because they can have their eyes and ears on baby at all times. Most of the monitors come standard with up to 1,000 feet of range. Every parent is different, so VTech provides a wide selection of baby monitors that allows you to choose the best one for your family and style.
What gifts would you add to this gift basket for a new mom?
I adore that gift basket! That bear is so stinking cute! No one would even think it’s a camera! And that sign is so creative and a great way to remember the special day! -client
What a great gift basket! I love how you did the W.
This gift basket looks like an ideal gift for a new mom. That video monitor is a necessity, I think! And love the creativity of the hospital door hanger! So sweet!
This is so cute! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
What a beautiful door hanger! Great gift ideas, I wished that there would have been a video monitor around when my kids were little.
The door hanger is so cute! I wish I would have had one of these for our little one when he arrived. Great ideas!
I don’t have any new moms on my christmas list, but these are great gifts nonetheless. I always wonder to get people who are in certain periods of their lives, and I love the segmented guides! xx adaatude.com
What a sweet gift. I love that you personalized it. It’s those gifts that remain in our hearts, long after the gift is gone.
This is such a nice gift idea. The door hanger is so unique and I would have never thought of something like that.
This is such a great gift and a nice gift. I like making gifts too!! It makes it so much more personable.
Gift baskets make great gifts. You can really personalize them. I think the ideal new mom basket has something for the baby, something for dad, and of course a couple of things for mom.
I think that a massage or a spa package would be perfect for any mum to be. Plus I really love that hospital door hanger.
Great gift basket idea. If you’re looking for wooden letters you can find them at http://www.woodenletters.biz . They both small are large letters.
A hospital door hanger is a really unique gift for a new mom — I had not thought of that! Your gift basket idea rocks!
What thoughtful gifts for the new mom! I’m confident any new mom would appreciate getting gifts that other new moms found helpful!
These are so thoughtful. I love the idea of the personalized door hanger that they can keep forever!
I love that the camera looks like a bear. It looks so much nicer in a nursery. It is amazing how things get upgraded every year.
Aw these are so thoughtful for any new mom! I love the camera that is shaped like a cute cuddly bear!
That is a cool gadget for a new parent! The door hanger is a nice touch and keepsake.
This is so cute and creative! I also love vtech monitors. We have one that we use every night 🙂
I have a loved one in the hospital right now so this is PERFECT timing! Love how easy and creative it is too!
That’s a very thoughtful gift basket for a new mother. You really put some work into it. I would be proud to receive that type of gift basket if I were a new mother in the hospital.
That bear monitor is awesome! The door hanger is so cute too. Really this is so thoughtful to do for new moms.
I love the minister so much! These are all such perfect gifts for mama! I love the idea of bringing a new momma after they welcome a little one!
These are some great ideas. I think the DIY is the most thoughtful and heartfelt one
OH I have never thought to use stamps like that!!! I love how pretty and natural it looks!!!
The list was quite helpful. I have a few friends who are new moms and I had no idea what to give them.
I’ve never even used stamps before. It looks so cute. I don’t DIY things because I’m not good at it. But if you can, I say definitely go for it!

These are great gift ideas for new moms. I really like the monitor because I loved having one to monitor my babies. It’s a great gift to put mom’s mind at ease.
