Bringing home a newborn is one of life’s greatest joys — and the first few weeks deserve a little extra care, comfort and style. Whether you’re shopping for a friend, a sister, a colleague or treating yourself, here are some beautifully curated ideas from our Mama & New Baby collection at Hauslife that tick the boxes for practical, pretty and pampering.
1. Comfort & Care for Mum
The first weeks after birth demand comfort, rest (as much as possible!), and a little spoil-me time.
-
The 2 pc Earth Mother® Pregnancy Bump Mask & Oil Set is a lovely choice — designed for those changing bodies and helping new mums feel nurtured.
-
Our 4-pc Bath Salts Pouches Set (Palmarosa, Lavender, Lime, Rose) is ideal for a gentle unwind in the bath — perfect for a new-mum moment when you’ve finally got five minutes.
2. Stylised Yet Practical Pieces
You’ll want items that look good and work hard too.
-
The Mama Necklace is subtle, stylish and carries meaning — a beautiful keepsake to mark the occasion of motherhood.
-
Our selection of Quilted Cotton Washbags (mushrooms, blue gingham, pink tiger, and more) are perfect for hospital stays, hospital bag prep, or as a little treat for mum to travel light & smart.
-
A Cotton Kimono (e.g., Green Palms, Red Palms) gives a relaxed-but-elegant layer for those early days at home when you want comfort but need accesibility for feeding. It's also great to take to the hospital.
3. Welcoming the New Baby
Small thoughtful touches for the baby are always appreciated.
-
Thoughtful cards such as “One Lucky Baby”, “Welcome Baby”, or “Baby Love Bump” offer a personal touch and can be kept in baby’s memory box.
-
Although our collection is focused on gifts rather than baby-wear or large nursery items, you might consider combining one of our home items (e.g., the washbag or jewellery for mum) with a sweet card for baby to create a little bundle.
4. Create a Gift Bundle
Why not make up a small gift set? For example:
-
Grab a gorgeous washbag, pop in a jar of luxe bath salts, add the Mama necklace, and include a “Mum You’re Amazing” card.
-
Or choose a comfy cotton kimono, slip in some skincare, drop in a card, and you’ve got a beautifully thoughtful “relaxation for mum” bundle.
This approach not only adds value but shows you’ve given care to both function and sentiment.
5. Why These Items Make Sense
-
Practicality: Many items (washbags, kimono) are useful in hospital bags, in the first home days or when visiting baby.
-
Pampering: Postnatal life is full of demands — a little self-care item (bath salts, eye pads) goes a long way in making mum feel looked after.
-
Meaning: Jewellery or keepsake pieces carry emotional significance — and cards make the gift personal.
-
Quality: The Hauslife ethos of curated, well-designed items means you’re giving something beautiful as well as useful.
How to Choose & Present Your Gift
-
Consider the new mum’s personal style: Does she tend towards bold prints (e.g., patterned washbag) or minimal/plain?
-
Keep shipping/packaging in mind — our free UK shipping on orders over £60 helps if you’re going for a multi-item bundle.
-
Add a personalised note in the card — something like: “For all the love and sleepless nights ahead — you’ve got this”.
-
If you’re buying ahead of time, pick an item that stores well or can be used later (e.g., washbag or jewellery) rather than overly “baby-specific” items that might arrive too early.
Final Thought
Gifting for a new mum and baby is such a sweet opportunity — you’re not just giving a physical item but offering a moment of comfort, acknowledgement and celebration. With the Mama & New Baby collection at Hauslife, you can select items that look lovely, feel purposeful and carry a thoughtful message.
