Becoming a new mum is a whirlwind of emotion, pure joy, a sprinkle of panic, and a whole lot of love. Whether you're shopping for yourself or looking for that perfect gift for a glowing mum-to-be, we’ve put together the ultimate checklist to make those early days (and nights!) as dreamy and stress-free as possible.
The Must-Have New Mum Essentials
Let’s be real, babies come with a lot of stuff. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with the things that make a real difference.
Bibs – Because little ones and dribbles go hand in hand. Our Baby Muslin Bibs are not just practical but oh-so-stylish too, perfect for catching those first tastes of mashed banana and rogue dribble bubbles.
Blankets – There’s nothing like wrapping your baby up in the softest, cosiest blanket. Whether for nap time, tummy time, or a snug cuddle, a good blanket is non-negotiable.
Bath Books – If bath time = splash zone in your house, Our Bath Books area a game-changer! Fun, engaging, and the perfect way to start a love of books early.
Comforters – A soft, cuddly comforter can be a real-life superhero for soothing and settling a little one. Perfect for those sleepy snuggles or moments when they just need a little extra comfort.
Photo Album – Because you will take hundreds of adorable baby photos, and trust us, you’ll want somewhere special to keep them. Our Baby Photo Album turns those fleeting moments into forever memories.
Milestone Blanket & Cards – Every little moment is worth celebrating, and these are perfect for capturing those ‘firsts’ in the most adorable way possible, with our Baby Milestone Blanket and Baby Milestone Cards.
Buying for Yourself vs. Gifting a New Mum
If you’re the mum-to-be, this checklist is your gentle reminder to treat yourself. Practical? Yes. Gorgeous? Absolutely. It’s all about surrounding yourself (and your little one) with things that make life easier and more joyful.
If you’re gifting, think about what would really help make a new mum’s life easier or more magical. Maybe she’s already stocked up on baby grows but would love milestone set to document her baby's journey? A luxe blanket that she can use for both her and the baby? A beautiful photo album to treasure all those ‘firsts? Gifting thoughtfully makes all the difference.
The Bottom Line? Make It Special
Whether you’re treating yourself or picking the ultimate present, the key is making it special, thoughtful, and (of course) beautiful. Our new Nursery Collection is designed to bring a little magic, comfort, and joy to those unforgettable first months.
So, here’s to making memories, embracing the chaos, and soaking up every little moment, dribbles and all!
