Last week, I featured a Mother's Day gift guide with gift ideas for our own mothers. But I've gotten emails from husbands asking for gift ideas for their wives, since they want to honor the mothers of their own children. How sweet is that sentiment? So, here are four Mother's Day ideas for new mothers...
Flower sandals, since they'll last years longer than fresh flowers (and are just as pretty), $195. (These are great, too.)
Black diamond earrings, $125. So incredibly chic.
Marbleized salted dark chocolate bar, $6.
Pretty lingerie, $70, or underwear, $24, to show her how beautiful you think she is, now and always.P.S. More gifts for women, and 8 gift ideas for new parents...

ReplyDeleteWow these all look great! I agree the chocolates look delicious!

i would give birth just to have those earrings. maybe. MAYBE.
ReplyDeleteSuch great picks! Those sandals are to die for. And the chocolate is so beautiful!
ReplyDeletehaha, i know, i love those earrings so much ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the Sandals and the earrings! They make me wanna go out tonight! Great picks!
ReplyDeleteThis lingerie is gorgeous, sexy and romantic at the same time)

ReplyDeletethese are lovely! i just found the most perfect gift for my mama - $150 to oxfam to train a midwife in a rural community! can you imagine giving (or receiving) that gift? i looooove it.
ReplyDeleteAs a new mom, I would totally have zero use for any of these. I'd much prefer a spa gift certificate, for example, to let me know that it's okay to take time for myself.
ReplyDeleteMy husband bought me those black rough diamond earrings as a SURPRISE gift, and I LOVE them! I like the black color, and the rough/chicness of them!
ReplyDeletei like the lingerie!
ReplyDeletenice picks!
the fact that husbands/daddies were emailing you just melted my heart. :)
ReplyDeletepamela, what an AMAZING gift;)
ReplyDeleteHow sweet!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!

I have to disagree here. :( The sandals would not have fit my fat postpartum feet. The earrings would have made me a bit sad as my life had shifted to being so much more domestic. Particularly during that "new" period. The chocolate is okay, of course! ;) But the lingerie is definitely a NO! My daughter turned seven months yesterday and I still am not back to my shape. Even if my husband loves the way I look, lingerie would not be a gift I'd appreciate right now. Sad, but true! Now a massage gift certificate is another story...YES, please!
ReplyDeletelindsey, i hear you! i guess these gifts are probably best more for "new moms" as a generational thing (meaning, moms versus grandmothers) versus the first year of new motherhood -- i would have been the same as you my first year with toby!
ReplyDeleteI'm making my mother a wreath made out of paper roses. I've been making tiny rosebud size flowers out of an old French book I bought in NYC. They take forever to put together but it'll be so pretty when I'm done!
ReplyDeleteanother really good gift for mom's day is a Citrus Lane subscription! we subscribe to them and they are AWESOME. they send us baby stuff that we love every month, and it saves me from having to figure out what baby stuff is great myself (since i have no time anyway). they have a 10% off code now, too: SPRINGFUN. (and no, i do not work for them...i just REALLY like the service!)

I agree with a lot of the other commenters--I'm not a mom but these would all make great gifts for me. Too bad I don't qualify for presents on MDay.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, those black diamonds! If only this were a giveaway....
ReplyDeleteMy hubby got me a gold initial neckace already but i love those back diamond earrings
ReplyDeleteSo thoughtful of those husbands!

I happened to come across this idea on kick-starter all about homemaking and how it has evolved. I think the idea is great and that with some help it can really go somewhere! What do you think? http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/domaign/domaign-my-final-bfa-show
