Black Friday gifts for new mums: Baby care essentials they'll love

New mums deserve a little extra love. Welcoming a child into the world is a whirlwind of happiness, cuddles, and a fair few sleepless nights, and there’s bound to be a lot of tasks on her to-do list. By finding practical gifts for new mums, you can lighten her workload while bringing comfort, convenience, and care to those busy early days.

Black Friday is the perfect time to shop for baby essentials, too. Whether you’re a friend, family member, or partner, get inspired with these Black Friday gifts for mums.

Why baby essentials are useful gifts for new mums

 

Being a new mum is an exciting time, but it can also be a little scary. By buying mum-to-be gifts that you know she really needs, you’re giving her a helping hand, so she knows she’s not alone. Toys, teddies, and onesies make for cute presents, but it’s the practical essentials that’ll help her navigate the first real trials of parenthood.

New mums, for example, don’t always have the time (or energy!) to stock up on essentials. Ticking an item off her list helps her focus on the excitement of a new baby rather than a trip to the shops. That’s a gift she’ll definitely appreciate.

Practical Black Friday gifts for mums are also caring. It’s a way to be there for your friend or family member, even when you’re not around. Every time they switch on their night light or find relief in being able to quickly clean their baby bottles, you’ll provide a little comfort for both her and her baby.

Not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered with these gift ideas for new mums that they’ll actually use.

Focus first on feeding time essentials. Baby bottles are always handy, as is a baby bottle steriliser. The Philips Avent Baby Bottle Steriliser dries bottles, too, using jets of filtered air to kill 99.9% of germs while making cleaning a lot quicker. An efficient steriliser balances convenience and care, making it top of our list of useful gifts for new mothers.

For close friends and family, you might also consider a breast pump. The Philips Avent Hands-Free Breast Pump brings comfort to the first months of expressing, leaving mum’s arms free to cuddle and care for her newborn.

Consider nighttime essentials when browsing baby Black Friday deals, too. Some must-haves for those cosy first evenings with a newborn include:

 

• Swaddles
• Baby monitors
• Night lights
• White noise machines
• Baby rockers

 

Don’t forget new mum gifts for heading out and about. Baby carriers, changing mats, and changing bags are always appreciated, while a new pram helps cut down her newborn expenses - just make sure you know the model she wants before buying. 

Wellbeing presents for expecting mums

 

Almost 60,000 new mums seek mental health support every year, highlighting just how demanding this transition to parenthood can be.¹ Encourage your new mum to prioritise her wellbeing with gifts that encourage self-care, comfort, and recovery.

A thoughtful bundle of self-care goodies, like nipple balm, relaxing aromatherapy oils, and herbal teas, will help her prioritise some ‘me time’ as she settles into her new journey as a parent.

Alongside useful gifts for new mums, remember to check in on her mental health, too. A quick text, phone call, or chat over a coffee can be exactly the support she needs to tackle postpartum challenges.
