Gifts are an expression of love and attention for our loved ones. Especially during pregnancy, a carefully selected gift from a partner, girlfriend or parents expresses a lot of joy and creates beautiful moments. A new person is growing in the belly and ushers in a new phase in the parents' lives. Soothing, beautiful and useful gifts for pregnant women therefore create unforgettable memories and remain as a permanent keepsake even after the pregnancy. We have 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 many occasions to make an expectant mother happy. Pregnancy and birth are an exciting time for expectant parents and every memory is precious. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to sustainability and purpose when choosing gifts. A diaper cake may look impressive, but it is of little use to the pregnant woman and the baby is unlikely to be happy about it either. In this article you will find gifts for expectant mothers that are environmentally friendly and cater to the needs of mom and baby.
Pregnancy diary
It is particularly important for pregnant women and parents-to-be to record memories of their pregnancy. A pregnancy diary is therefore a wonderful gift that can be used to record all the highs and lows of this special time. Ultrasound images, photos of the baby bump and the baby's first milestones all have space and can be documented. There are diaries with different questions about the week of pregnancy, belly size, etc. or blank versions where the mother-to-be takes care of the design. The diary can also be lovingly decorated by the parents-to-be 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. But the pregnant woman herself also has a high need for new clothes. Because the more the belly grows, the less the old trousers and tops fit. While it is difficult to find the right size for trousers, it is easier to judge with tops. A great and thoughtful gift is therefore a mum sweater, which is suitable for both pregnancy and breastfeeding. As a gift, the clothes should of course be of high quality. Natural materials such as organic cotton are gentle on the skin, breathable and have a long lifespan. We recommend organic quality clothing that is sustainable and GOTS-certified : gentle on the environment and good for baby and mum.
Nursing pillow
Regardless of whether the future mother plans to breastfeed or not, a nursing pillow is a lifesaver for pregnant women during pregnancy. The bigger the baby and the belly become, the more uncomfortable it is for the expectant mother. Lying down and even sitting then become a challenge and hardly any position feels comfortable. A nursing pillow can be used in many different ways and provides more comfort. It offers support and relieves the body, so that every bed and sofa becomes an oasis of well-being. Of course, we also recommend choosing a model that is free of harmful substances and made from natural, organic materials.
Books to relax
Gifts for pregnant women don't always have to be directly related to the pregnancy. What the expectant mother needs more during this special time is relaxation. The body gets tired more quickly and needs an extra portion of rest to cope with everyday tasks. This is completely normal and healthy, after all, the body provides for two people at once. A good book is ideal for switching off and taking a break. Whether it's an exciting novel, a book about mindfulness and inner peace, or a baby guide for future days: books are rightly favorites as gifts and can be passed on to the next friend after reading in the spirit of sustainability.
Unique gift sets for the baby
If the expectant mother has already received plenty of presents, it can also be something for the new earthling. In our Cosy Roots online shop you will find sustainable gift sets for the baby that the parents are guaranteed to be happy about. You can choose one of our lovingly put together and coordinated sets or put together your own desired items from the exclusive categories. Choose your favorite products from our numerous clothes, accessories, first walker shoes and wooden toys. We carefully put together your baby gifts by hand and pack them in a sustainable gift box.
Children's room pictures
Whether you paint it yourself or buy it from a local artist, beautiful and cheerful pictures for the children's room are a great gift idea for parents and children. While the couple is busy with important errands such as a baby bed, changing table and stroller, decorating the children's room is often forgotten. With an individual picture or photo in a beautiful picture frame, the first decorative milestone is set.
Vouchers
A spa visit, birth preparation course, cleaning help or a gift card : there are no limits to your imagination when it comes to vouchers. You can specifically address the individual needs of the pregnant woman and choose a gift that she will appreciate. Vouchers are also ideal for people on a tight budget. Bringing a warm meal for the family every day after the birth is often much more valuable to the new mothers than material gifts!
Memories of this special time
During the exciting phase of pregnancy, expectant mothers deserve our full attention and warm gestures. The ideal Christmas gift brings great joy and leaves a lasting impression. At the same time, when it comes to gift ideas for expectant mothers, you should consciously focus on presents that are meaningful and do not harm the environment. Whether it is a pregnancy diary, vouchers or sustainable maternity clothing for the pregnant woman - the range of thoughtful gifts is diverse and can be adapted to every budget. Use this festive time to give the expectant mother unforgettable memories of this unique phase of life!
