Birth gift ideas for mum: what if we thought of her too?

When a new baby arrives, it’s natural for everyone’s attention to turn to the little one. Tiny clothes, soft blankets, keepsakes; the list of baby gifts is endless. But in all the excitement, it’s easy to forget someone equally important—the mum.

Giving birth is no small feat. It’s physically and emotionally demanding, and the early days of motherhood are exhausting. That’s why taking the time to choose the right gift just for her can mean so much. A present that helps her rest, unwind, and feel cared for is something she’ll truly appreciate.

Here are some of the best gift ideas to inspire you, along with some of our favourite Drowsy sleep and wellness products to make her feel pampered and supported.

1. Help her catch up on sleep

Newborn life usually means long nights and broken sleep. A thoughtful gift that makes rest a little easier will always be welcome. A luxury silk sleep mask is a simple but ideal birthday gift choice. Soft, padded, and oversized, our silk eye masks block out light completely, helping her grab a nap whenever she can. They’re designed to feel weightless and gentle on delicate skin, with an adjustable fit that stays comfortable.

Pair a sleep mask with a silk pillowcase to elevate her bedtime routine even further. Not only is silk kinder to hair and skin, but it also feels wonderfully cool and soothing—a little bit of everyday relaxation when she needs it most. If you’d prefer a ready-made option, our Midnight Ritual Bundle All Blue gift set combines our best-selling silk mask with a silk pillowcase and soothing aromatherapy pillow spray. A complete care package for better rest, and the kind of perfect present she might not think to buy for herself.

2. Bring a little calm to her evenings

The early weeks with a baby can feel overwhelming. Giving her a way to relax at the end of a long day is a perfect gift in itself. Aromatherapy is one of the simplest ways to create a calming atmosphere at home. Our Sleep Zen Pillow Spray is ideal—a gentle mist she can spritz on her pillow to create a soothing, spa-like scent that helps her unwind before bed.

Add our luxury Sleep Ritual Candle, which fills the room with a soft, relaxing fragrance, creating a tranquil atmosphere. Silk weighted blankets are another excellent choice. They create a gentle, even pressure that can provide comfort, making it easier to relax and drift off when she finally has a moment for herself.

3. Help her feel like herself again

Between sleepless nights and little time for self-care, both mum and baby can feel the strain. Small, elegant touches can help her feel more put-together, even on her most chaotic days. Our silk scrunchies are perfect for this—soft, padded, and gentle on hair, they keep her style in place without tugging or breakage.

Unlike ordinary hair ties, which can snag and damage hair, our silk scrunchies glide over strands to help minimise friction and maintain her hair’s natural shine. They’re ideal for keeping up a loose bun or ponytail during long days, and they leave no creases when she takes them out.

Choose one of our beautiful colour sets, or go for our Skinny Scrunchie Set, which includes a selection of skinny scrunchies in versatile, flattering shades. They’re stylish, practical, and kind to hair; small details that make a big difference.

4. Pamper her with relaxing rituals

For many new mums, even five minutes of self-care can feel like a luxury. Gifting her products that turn those rare quiet moments into something restorative can make all the difference. Our Beauty Sleep Ritual Body Cream & Cleanser is a wonderful choice—delicately scented, hydrating, and calming, it transforms an ordinary evening routine into a soothing ritual.

And if she’s ready to finally enjoy a more restful night, our Sleep Supplements are another option to support her well-being. Formulated with naturally calming ingredients, they fit easily into her nightly routine and can help her unwind at the end of a long day. Together, these gifts encourage her to pause and take care of herself, something every mother deserves, especially at such a special occasion.

Don’t forget a personal touch

When you’re picking out gifts for a new arrival, taking a moment to choose something just for mum shows you see her too. Whether it’s one of our curated gift sets, a luxury hamper filled with sleep essentials, or even just a small, thoughtful gesture, choosing the right present for her helps her feel valued at a very special time.

You could even include something small and thoughtful to go with your main present—a bar of her favourite chocolate, a relaxing playlist you’ve put together, or a framed photo from before the baby arrived. These little details remind her she’s seen, appreciated, and loved at a time when she may feel a bit overwhelmed.
