After having a baby, it’s not uncommon for mum to feel more like a robot than a human being. What some people don’t understand is just how much her body has changed during the pregancy and how it is continuing to change now that baby is here. Hormonal changes as well as physical changes along with lack of sleep can run anyone ragged. All the more reason to treat her to some much needed pampering!
Fresh flowers are a great gift for brightening up her surroundings. When she receives a flower delivery, she can decide whether she would rather keep them in the living room, dining room, bedroom, or anywhere else in the home. Flowers are known for the positive effect that they have on our moods which is great for new mothers in particular. Most flower arrangements last a couple of weeks or so. If you like, you can surprise her with a new bouquet each month to keep her spirits up.
After carrying baby around for 9 months, her body is bound to feel tired and even sore. Her feet might still be swollen and it’s not uncommon for backache to persist after baby arrives. Especially with all the bending over to pick up, change, and bath the little one. Send a pamper hamper with luxurious bath and body products just for her. Not only will they leaver her skin feeling great, but the sweet scents work wonders on the senses. Over and above sending this hamper, it’s good for dad or another family member to pay the new mum a visit regularly. Give her a little break from baby and let her enjoy a long soak in the tub to take her mind off everything. When she’s done, she will feel refreshed, happier, and ready to give her baby even more attention.
If you are planning on sending a snack or food hamper, make sure that it is one of non-alcoholic variety. You might not know the feeding method mum has chosen which is why it’s best to play it safe. She might also be feeling somewhat self-conscious about her weight so take it easy on the sweets and chocolates. Look for a food hamper that contains healthy snacks and make sure that they also have a reasonable shelf life. Another great healthy alternative is to send a colourful fruit basket. Like fresh flowers, fruit will brighten the room and they also offer amazing nutritional value of course! Just what any mother needs to keep her healthy and full of energy!
The point of sending a hamper to a new mum is to make her feel good about herself. This includes physical and emotional aspects and it’s always important to remain considerate towards her needs when you choose any gift.
