Unique Gifts for First Time Moms

First time moms may need everything for the new baby - or they may be able to buy everything they need. Either way, when you give a baby gift, you want it to be a UNIQUE GIFT. It need not be costly. Even disposable diapers can be a UNIQUE GIFT if presented in a unique way.

UNIQUE GIFTs for first time moms might come in a basket, or in wrapping paper. They might be large or small.

UNIQUE GIFT Ideas for First Time Moms

Below are 7 UNIQUE GIFTs for first time moms. Some are readily available, while others will take a bit of hunting online. That may be what makes them UNIQUE GIFTs.

1. TummyTubs: a baby bath for infants, the TummyTub was developed in the Netherlands by a cooperative of physicians, midwives, and nursery nurses. Its unique womb shape eases an infant’s transition from the secure womb to a strange, new world. Since they are shaped like the womb, TummyTubs help babies relax. They go readily into the fetal position and become calm. UNIQUE GIFTs for first time moms, TummyTubs help infants sleep better.

2. Designer Diaper Bags: Timi and Leslie diaper bags have chic coordinating changing pads. The changing pads roll up and tie with a ribbon. Inside these UNIQUE GIFTs, multiple bottle pockets let you carry milk and juice. Other inside compartments keep things organized. A magnetic closure helps first time moms hold it all together.

3. Lamaze Octotune: This is one of my favorite UNIQUE GIFTs for first time moms. This and the “Puppytunes” require no batteries, but play a musical note when tentacles or paws are pushed. This is a prize-winning UNIQUE GIFT, and comes with a small booklet that features easy color coded songs that new mom can play for baby!

4. Memories: Personalized baby memory books also make UNIQUE GIFTs for first time moms. Every mom keeps a baby book for the first child, it seems. These are more than just a baby book. They are more than a photo album. They wrap a record of first achievements in silk, embroider baby’s name in a brush script font, and tie it with a coordinating ribbon. They make a wonderful keepsake. If you know the baby’s name in advance, this UNIQUE GIFT is perfect.

5. Silver: A sterling silver teething ring with heart-shaped teether from Empire Silver is not cheap, but it is a beautiful keepsake. A first time mom will use it with every child, and pass it down to future generations. This UNIQUE GIFT will be treasured for years.

6. Sheepskins: In some countries, sheepskins are not UNIQUE GIFTs. In others, they are. Soft sheepskin rugs go anywhere as a bed for baby. Sheepskin calms and soothes babies, and is perfect in any season. The wool keeps baby warm and cozy on cold days, lets air surround and cool baby on hot days. This would be a UNIQUE GIFT in the U.S.

7. Handprints: This UNIQUE GIFT will be used repeatedly for the first 5 years of baby’s life. A keepsake tower includes a handprint kit for every year from ages 1 to 5. Each year, the handprint is larger, and so is the tin for making a mold of those precious handprints. This UNIQUE GIFT is sure to please first time moms.

Women who are first time moms would also appreciate essential oils, bath salts, candles, and other items to help them relax in the busy schedule of their new lives.
