The Ultimate Christmas Wishlist for New Mums (And What They Really Want This Year)

Christmas hits differently when you’re in the thick of motherhood. Between the feeds, the nappy changes, the wrapping, the organising, and the trying-to-remember-who-you’ve-already-bought-for… mums often end up last on the list ..if they make the list at all.

So this year, we’re flipping the script with a Christmas Wishlist made just for mums, the practical, the meaningful and the little luxuries that make each day just a bit easier.

Whether you’re shopping for a new mum, a mum-to-be, or gently guiding your partner with a “here’s a list for inspiration 😊”, this guide covers everything you/she’ll truly appreciate.

🎁 Thoughtful Gifts for New Mums

MiRo & Co Essentials Front Flap Breastfeeding Tee :  A breastfeeding tee might seem simple, but it’s one of the gifts that gets used every single day. Soft, practical, and designed for comfort, this tee allows for easy, discreet feeds while keeping mum feeling stylish.

Lila Jasmine Lactation Bars – 6 Pack: Nourishing snacks are a small but meaningful gift for any breastfeeding mum. Lila Jasmine lactation bars are delicious, convenient, and locally produced in New Zealand. They’re perfect for quick energy boosts between feeds or while juggling the endless to-dos of early motherhood.

Owala FreeSip Insulated Water Bottle: Hydration is essential, especially for breastfeeding mums. An insulated, leak-proof bottle like the Owala FreeSip ensures she can keep water nearby at all times, whether she’s at home, at a park, or running errands. It’s a practical gift that keeps giving day after day.

Luxe Baby Tilly Backpack: A nappy bag that doubles as a stylish backpack , ideal for mums (and dads) with a busy agenda. Ample internal and external pockets, insulated bottle pockets, and plenty of space for baby essentials (plus mum’s items). Great for outings, errands or even travelling.

Paper & Beau Keepsake Print: A beautiful nursery wall print or keepsake illustration makes for a sentimental, heartfelt gift. Something a new mum can hang in the nursery or cherish as a memory.

MiRo & Co Linen Breastfeeding Dress:  The MiRo & Co Linen Breastfeeding Dress hits the sweet spot between practicality and effortless style. It’s crafted from a 70% cotton / 30% linen blend — breathable, soft, and perfect for our Kiwi summers. 

Any of the gifts mentioned above would make a thoughtful and practical choice, from breastfeeding-friendly clothing to keepsakes and useful accessories. But just remember, the moments spent together, a quiet walk, a shared laugh, or simply being there to lend a helping hand are what she’ll treasure the most. This Christmas, celebrate not just the baby, but the joy of family and the everyday magic of motherhood.
