How to Choose the Perfect Gift For Mum This Christmas
Posted by Corryn Barakat on Oct 16, 2014
For some reason, whenever I go to a shopping centre my mind goes blank and I end up walking out with a dozen things I didn't need and only half the things I did need. There’s just something about the alluring shop displays and ‘sale’ signs that muddles my head. Having small kids with me doesn't help either! So this year, we're getting organised early and buying our presents online. With only 10 weeks to go it’s a great time to make your lists and buy or make something thoughtful for the special people in your life.
I've also picked out some of my favourite things in store right now and put together a few gift ideas for Mums... we have some gorgeous items in store at the moment. It’s a great time to pick up something special for yourself (or to send to someone who might need some help with gift ideas for you!)
- Our luxuriously soft Bamboo Wrap – for people who appreciate good quality this wrap is perfect. Our customers use it as a scarf, a nursing cover, and even a blanket! One customer told me her baby daughter loved it so much it became her sleep blanket – she would fall asleep snuggled up in the bamboo fabric!
- Funky Teething Accessories – As a mum it can be difficult to wear necklaces and bangles without letting your baby chew on them, but now with trendy silicon teething accessories you can accessorise and keep your baby entertained at the same time! I love these – my 1 year old can’t nurse while we’re out and about any more because he is too distracted by everything going on around him. But if I’m wearing a necklace he’ll happily fiddle with it, and nurse, no matter where we are. The bright colours and durable material are great for brightening an outfit and lifting your mood.
- Lola Mae Dress – For anyone needing a cocktail dress for this festive season you can’t go past the Lola Mae dress. It’s fabulous for throwing on this summer for an easy stylish look, and I love the bright colours!
- Organic Cotton Nursing Singlets – if you’re after a practical gift, the Organic Cotton Singlets are perfect. Soft and durable organic cotton means this singlet lasts wash after wash. They’re a must have for nursing Mums and can be worn 24/7. Easy nursing access makes them perfect for new mums and tandem breastfeeding. I love the colours and the inner lining that gives coverage while you’re nursing in public.
- Slouchy Pleated Top – for the stylish mum who needs more breastfeeding tops this is a perfect gift. It is one of our most popular nursing tops and comes in a range of colours. I love the bamboo fabric and the super discrete zipper access. The loose fit is flattering and lovely and cool to wear in our hot summer weather.
- Wisdom of Mothers Book – the perfect gift for secret santa or as a stocking filler, our Wisdom of Mothers Book is full of practical tips for new mums, written by our wonderful members it is inspirational and informational!
- Nursing Sleepwear – this is a lovely gift for new mums – night time nursing is easy in our nursing sleepwear, from the popular bamboo sleep bras to our nursing pajamas you can nurse easily and comfortably all night long and still feel feminine. My personal favourite is the nursing chemise – so easy for night time nursing with light cotton material.
- Zahra Dress – Our all time best seller, this lovely flowing bamboo dress is a sure to be a favourite gift! Perfect for pregnancy, breastfeeding and beyond, the stylish appliqué and flowing fabric can be worn to special occasions or just out for a walk. Easy and discrete nursing makes this dress a firm favourite with our customers!
- That’s Wild Graphic Tee – For the trendy mum this top is the perfect gift. The bold print combined with soft Modal fabric makes this top comfortable and oh so stylish. The easy nursing access makes breastfeeding on the go a breeze.
