8 Beautiful Gift Ideas for a First Time Mum

Looking for the best gift for a new mum? When it comes to the products you apply to your baby’s skin, it’s important to check the ingredients very carefully. Bubs’s skin is extra-soft and sensitive so can be irritated by nasty chemicals. Weleda Baby Care Gift Pack contains a trio of full-size, all-natural baby products: Weleda Calendula Nappy Change Cream, Weleda Calendula Body Lotion, Weleda Calendula Shampoo & Body Wash. The collection is a great new mum and baby gift idea and is formulated with Calendula, known for its soothing, moisturising properties. Other hero ingredients in the range include Organic Almond Oil to nourish plus Chamomile to calm. Weleda Baby Care Gift Pack is both cruelty-free and sulphate-free.

The life of a new mum can be rather hectic to say the least! Chances are, it’s probably been a while since she’s treated herself to some self-care. Having a new Glasshouse candle on hand will serve as the perfect reminder for her to *try to* switch off and take a few minutes for herself. Our suggestion? She might like to light this mini Glasshouse A TAHAA AFFAIR Candle by the bath or while she does her skincare regimen. With delicious notes of Caramel and Vanilla, it’s a sure-fire winner that appeals to most noses. In fact, it smells practically good enough to eat! This Glasshouse mini candle is a great gift for a first time mum in Australia and is also made with a high-quality, non-toxic Soy Blend Wax, which provides up to 20 hours of burn time and is vegan-friendly plus cruelty-free.

The set features Aveda Botanical Repair Shampoo, Conditioner, Leave in Treatment, plus a tropical hair towel. If you’re buying for a soon-to-be new mum, this set from Aveda is also one of the best gifts for new mums for Christmas in Australia, Hanukkah or Diwali.
