The Best Gifts For Expecting Moms

Here is a roundup of the best pregnancy gifts that will make the journey of motherhood easier for the new moms: 

Pregnancy Photobook Album

Pregnancy is a time of a woman’s life when she is in a mode of creation. It’s a time when her body goes through shifts that she never knew was possible. Every little change in the mom’s body is a reminder of how life is preparing itself to arrive in this beautiful world. So capturing the beautiful memories of motherhood even before the baby is born, is one of the best ways to keep the memories close to your heart. So a softcover photobook album where the mom can stack all the pictures during her pregnancy makes one of the best pregnancy gifts for first-time moms.

Personalised Notebook

Pregnancy is a whirlwind of a ride where emotions and feelings take centre stage. Along with physical changes, the mom-to-be also goes through emotional shifts that she may not always express. But she can always write them down, right? A custom notebook set of 3 can be the perfect first-time mom gift. The designer notebooks also let you choose the theme of the cover. So a notebook of 60 pages featuring top-quality white matte paper lets her thoughts flow through the pen and paper instead of constantly troubling her.

Horizontal Magnetic Rope with Photo Prints

Expecting moms cannot have enough of their pictures taken. Every new change they notice makes them record it down through photos. So it’s safe to say there is no shortage of pictures taken during pregnancy. But simply capturing them through a camera lens and letting them sit down on the phone is not a fun ride, right? Why not ask the pregnant mom in your life to send you her favourite digital images and you breathe life into them by turning them into photo prints? 4×6 Photo Prints (Set of 24), Custom 5×7 Photo Prints (Set of 24) or 6×8 Photo Prints (Set of 15) are some of the best gift ideas for pregnant women that help them take a closer look at the memories made during pregnancy. These prints make great decorative pieces that she can hang in her living room or baby’s room using a magnetic rope. 

Fur-lined Photo Cushion

Every new mom has a favourite picture taken during her pregnancy that she is proud to show off. While you can gift her cardstock prints if there are a bunch of amazing photos, a photo cushion can be the best way to showcase her most cherished memory or moment. Photo cushions are perfect for adding warmth and comfort to the most loved pictures of a new mom. Simply throw it on the living room sofa and every visitor will get a look into it. A 14” sized cushion with a photo size of 7.5” that’s printed on Canvas Poly Duck Material made cushion cover lined with faux fur can be the epitome of classic aesthetics. 

Framed Prints

The nine months of pregnancy go in a blink of an eye. But the memories remain there intact in our minds. While you can always cherish them through the mind’s eye, nothing makes the mom happier than her ability to touch the moments so loved.
