Unique Gifts for the Mom-to-be

Large Department Stores gift registries are where most people go to purchase baby shower presents, but family and friends may prefer to give a unique baby present to the mum-to-be that is not found in a registry. Even better is the unique shower gift that would be a special treat the new mum might not buy herself.

If the search for a perfect shower gift has become impossible, here are some of the most unusual and best presents ideas.

Maid Service or Cleaning Service Makes a Great Unusual Baby Shower Gift

When the new bundle of joy arrives, who has any time to clean the house? Nearly all cleaning services will provide a one-time cleaning for the new mum that would be a brilliant help to her. If paying for maid service or house cleaning is too expensive, consider having friends and family provide maid service for the first month as part of a joint shower gift.

Catering or a Personal Chef for the First few weeks Can Be a Help to the New mum

Cooking healthy meals becomes another impossible task with a newborn. Some caterers will deliver one or more meals for the new family after junior comes and this would be a great unusual shower present for that special mum-to-be. If money is tight, why not be the organizer and have friends and family sign up to bring meals to the family for the first weeks after junior arrives? Be sure to check with the new mum to see if there are any food allergies in the family.

A Unique Gift for a Baby Shower is to Hire a Birth Doula

Birth doulas are an unusual but marvelous shower surprise for an expectant mother who would not be able to afford one on her own or as a special treat. Doulas provide information and support to the expectant parents before, during and after birth. Various studies show the benefit of using a doula and surveys of new mothers indicate that the doula is usually the most valued member of the birthing team. Fees for doula services vary, often by area and experience level.

Why Not Pay for a Lactation Consultation for the Breastfeeding Mom?

Moms who plan to breastfeed rarely get off to nursing without having a few questions or concerns. A unusual shower present for an expectant mother is to pay for a breastfeeding consultation. The best time to arrange for a consultation is usually in the first week or two after the birth. Fees for a certified lactation consultant also range.

Arranging for a Postpartum Doula is a Unique Baby Shower Gift

Another can't live without helper for the mother-to-be after baby comes is the postpartum doula. In addition to breastfeeding help, postpartum doulas often provide assistance with baby care, household organization and may even assist with the care of junior at night. Postpartum doulas often charge by the hour and fees can range depending on the services provided.

What about a Day at the Spa for the New Mum?


A special treat for the new mother that she probably won't think to give herself is a day at the spa. She will enjoy a facial or a pedicure/manicure combination. A massage would be another much-appreciated and unique way to make the mom's baby shower unique. Most spas will offer gift certificates for all of their services so that mom-to-be can schedule her appointment when it is most convenient.

Baby shower presents do not have to be boring. Why not give the new mum a unique gift that will make her feel special and loved?
