Personal Keepsake Gifts for a New Baby and Mom

Personal Gifts for a New Baby and Mom

Have a friend or family member with a new baby? Need a great personal and useful gift once baby and the parents come home? Here are some of my favorite gifts and keepsakes for mom and baby.

• Pottery Barn personalized hooded bath towel One of my favorite gifts. The gingham french terry towel is a classic. Add a monogram on it and it becomes the perfect photo opportunity after bath time. The towel is a great size for the pool and beach and will last into the toddler years. The matching washcloths are a great add on gift. Linked here Pottery Barn washcloths

• Pottery Barn lovey blanket and rattle A sweet gift for any new baby. These little lovies make great gifts. New parents often don’t think about these stuffed animals a few months down the road once baby enjoys snuggling a blanket during sleep. Be sure to tell parents where you bought it since buying back ups is always a good idea. Never want to lose a lovey!
• Pottery Barn monogrammed stroller blanket This is for sure my favorite stroller blanket. I love it so much after the 1st baby I asked for a new one for the 2nd baby. It is so soft, the perfect size and the perfect extra layer of warmth. Pottery Barn offers various colors and  numerous options for monogramming.

• Etsy wooden state rattle Etsy is great for a personal keepsake gift. We received these from a family member and aren’t they darling? Great quality and a super practical toy. This Etsy shop has options for custom wording on the rattle like just a name, birth info, and custom bead colors. These have been staples in our toy box and are easy to throw in the diaper bag.

• One line a day 5 year memory journal Perfect for a new Mom. This compact journal has as a page for each day of the year with a line for each year. A new mom can easily right now a quick memory from the day or a quote from one of the kids. It’s certainly something fun to look back on.
