Gifts are an expression of love and attention for our loved ones. Especially during pregnancy, a carefully selected gift from a partner, friend, or parents expresses great joy and creates wonderful moments. A new person is growing in the belly and ushering in a new chapter in the parents' lives. Soothing, beautiful, and useful gifts for pregnant women therefore create unforgettable memories and remain as lasting keepsakes even after the pregnancy. We've collected some gift ideas for expectant mothers that are not only beautiful, but also sustainable and useful.
Sustainable gift ideas for pregnant women with lots of love
Whether it's Christmas, a baby shower, or a birthday, there are plenty of opportunities to make an expectant mother happy. Pregnancy and childbirth are an exciting time for expectant parents, and every memory is precious. At the same time, it's important to consider sustainability and meaningful gifts when choosing gifts. A diaper cake may look impressive, but it offers little benefit to the pregnant woman, and the baby is unlikely to be happy about it either. In this article, you'll find gifts for expectant mothers that are environmentally friendly and cater to the needs of both mom and baby.
Pregnancy diary
It's especially important for pregnant women and expectant parents to capture their pregnancy memories. A pregnancy journal is a wonderful gift for documenting all the ups and downs of this special time. Ultrasound images, photos of the bump, and the baby's first milestones all fit together here. Diaries are available with various questions about the week of pregnancy, belly circumference, etc., or blank versions where the expectant mother takes care of the design. The expectant parents can also lovingly decorate the journal with small drawings, pretty colors, and special vegan stickers .
Mum Sweaters: Clothing for pregnancy and breastfeeding
Gift ideas for pregnant women often focus on the child. Little rompers, hats, and blankets: Many things are given as gifts during pregnancy. However, pregnant women themselves also have a high need for new clothes. The more the belly grows, the less old pants and tops fit. While it's difficult to find the right size for pants, it's easier to judge with tops. A great and thoughtful gift, therefore, is a mum's jumper, which is suitable for both pregnancy and breastfeeding. As a gift, the clothes should, of course, be high-quality. Natural fabrics like organic cotton are gentle on the skin, breathable, and long-lasting. We recommend organic, sustainable, and GOTS-certified clothing : gentle on the environment and good for baby and mom.
Nursing pillow
Regardless of whether the expectant mother plans to breastfeed or not, a nursing pillow is a lifesaver for pregnant women, even during pregnancy. The larger the baby and the belly become, the more uncomfortable it becomes for the expectant mother. Lying down and even sitting become a challenge, and hardly any position feels comfortable. A nursing pillow is versatile and provides increased comfort. It offers support and relieves pressure on the body, transforming any bed or sofa into a comfortable oasis. Of course, we also recommend choosing a non-toxic model made from natural, organic materials.
Books to relax
Gifts for pregnant women don't always have to be directly related to the pregnancy itself. What the expectant mother needs most during this special time is relaxation. The body tires more quickly and needs extra rest to cope with everyday tasks. This is completely normal and healthy; after all, the body supports two people at once. A good book is ideal for switching off and taking a break. Whether it's an exciting novel, a book on mindfulness and inner peace, or a baby guide for future generations: books are rightly favorite gifts and, in the spirit of sustainability, can be passed on to the next friend after reading them.
Unique gift sets for the baby
If the expectant mother has already received plenty of gifts, it's time for something for the new arrival. In our Cosy Roots online shop, you'll find sustainable baby gift sets that parents are sure to love. You can choose one of our lovingly curated and coordinated sets or create your own custom items from our exclusive categories. Choose your favorite products from our wide range of clothing, accessories, first walkers, and wooden toys. We carefully assemble your baby gifts by hand and package them in a sustainable gift box.
Children's room pictures
Whether painted by hand or purchased from a local artist, beautiful and cheerful pictures for the nursery are a great gift idea for parents and child. While the couple is busy with important errands like a crib, changing table, and stroller, decorating the nursery often gets forgotten. A personalized picture or photo in a beautiful frame is the first decorative milestone.
Vouchers
A spa visit, a childbirth preparation class, a cleaning service, or a gift card : When it comes to vouchers, your imagination is endless. You can specifically address the expectant mother's individual needs and choose a gift she'll appreciate. Vouchers are also ideal for those on a tight budget. Bringing a warm meal for the family every day after the birth is often much more valuable to new moms than material gifts!
Memories of this special time
During the exciting phase of pregnancy, expectant mothers deserve our full attention and heartfelt gestures. The ideal Christmas gift will bring immense joy and leave a lasting impression. At the same time, when choosing gift ideas for expectant mothers, it's important to consciously focus on presents that are meaningful and don't harm the environment. Whether it's a pregnancy journal, gift vouchers, or sustainable maternity clothing for the expectant mother – the range of thoughtful gifts is diverse and can be adapted to every budget. Use this festive season to give the expectant mother unforgettable memories of this unique phase of life!
