5 Gift Cards to Buy a New Mom
Let’s be honest, during the postpartum period, it is an important time to rest. After birth, your body needs time to heal before it can go back to its normal routine.
Also, your body is going from a pregnant state to a non-pregnant state. This means, a lot of hormone shifting in a small amount of time. This can be hard to cope with, especially if you have other children that need you!
Having all the support is essential.
Part of that support could come in gifts from family and friends!
If you’re not sure what to give a new mom or new parent, here is a list of unexpected, yet perfect gift cards to buy for a new mama. (Dads have a lot to adjust to in the postpartum period as well).
DoorDash or Uber Eats
After bringing a baby home, the last thing you want to do is make a meal. An easy gift to give to the new mom in your life is a DoorDash or Uber Eats gift card.
This will make it easy for them to order food from the exact restaurant they want, delivered to their door. They won’t even have to talk to anyone face to face since the order process is on an app.
Perfect!
Amazon
It’s hard to know exactly what you need after a baby arrives.
Every baby is different.
Sometimes when a new need or concern comes up, it isn't convenient to run to the store. An Amazon gift card allows new parents to order what they need and get it within a few days (usually).
With our first baby, I looked on Amazon all the time to buy something for baby care. It’s hard not to be able to find what you need on Amazon, making it the obvious choice for a gift card.
Instacart
Sometimes, babies arrive unexpectedly.
You can’t always plan to have your refrigerator perfectly stocked and ready to make the food you need or crave.
An Instacart gift card makes the perfect gift for a new mom.
They can choose from a variety of grocery stores, and have groceries delivered, same-day. Having healthy, nourishing food is especially important for the postpartum mom.
Making sure she has all she needs from her favorite grocery store would be the perfect way to show a new mom in your life how much you care!
Streaming Services
Everyone knows what accompanies long periods of couch sitting– your favorite TV show or movies!
Streaming services on your TV are a must for this. Consider grabbing a gift card to pay for a month or year-long subscription to a streaming service.
This gift, although uncommon, would be greatly appreciated and also, I bet, unexpected!
Here are a few favorites to choose from:
-HBOMax
-Disney+
-Peacock
Coffee, please!
With the postpartum and newborn period usually comes sleep deprivation.
Sleep deprivation is best paired with a cup of coffee.
You know your new mom friend, and you know her favorite place to get coffee or her favorite caffeine jolt.
Buy her a gift card from there!
When she goes on her first outing post-baby, she’ll be so excited to grab her favorite cup of joe!
I know I was.
I love supporting local!
