Author of The Hot Mom’s Handbook, Jessica Denay offers seven great gift ideas for second time moms:
1. The Gift of Relaxation: A trip to the spa for a treatment or massage. Being pregnant is hard enough, let alone chasing after a little one or two as well, this is gift that will be well appreciated and much deserved!
2. Cord Blood Registry: Cord blood banking is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to save baby’s cord blood stem cells for potential medical uses. When you open a Gift Registry, CBR will automatically contribute $250 toward banking. Then friends, family, and co-workers can contribute to the cost.
3. A Sparkling Home: Maid service for the day is a non-glamorous but much appreciated gift for a mom and mom to be! Give her a break from cleaning with a gift certificate to a service.
4. BabyMoon; Chip in for a weekend getaway at a bed and breakfast close by for the parents to be, coordinate with grandma to watch the older child/children or offer a night of babysitting.
5. Dinner: Food delivery service for a month after the baby is born, or gift certificates to nearby restaurants with delivery menus. As a new mom with a little one the last thing you want to think about is preparing dinner for everyone.
6. Babysitting: Offer to take the older child for the afternoon or to a movie or for a sleepover is one of the greatest gifts you can give a new mom, it will help her catch up on rest and enable her to bond with her newborn.
7. Go Practical: Forget unique and adorable the second or third time around, and put together a basket of wipes, diapers, and lotions that never go out of style!
