Top 12 Christmas Gifts For New Moms

12/02/2011

In honour of the 12 Days Of Christmas, I’ve prepared a list to help you find the perfect gift for that special lady in your life!

1. She went from being barefoot and pregnant to barefoot and nursing, at least she can make sure her toes look cute!  Pedicure from Dove Spa.
2. A mom can only sing “Twinkle, Twinkle” for so long before going crazy – why not teach her how to sing it in sign language?  Baby Sign Language classes with My Smart Hands.
3. She’s likely tired of living in yoga gear all day – a personal style consultation from Puh-Nash is a guaranteed hit!
4. Her hair is in a ponytail 365 days of the year.  Make it a few less by treating her to a fabulous blow-out from Evoke Salon.
5. She’s always on the lookout for fun things to do with her baby while also getting back in shape, check out  Mom & Baby Pilates at Retrofit Pilates or FITMOM strengthening from Think Fitness Studios.
6. Of course Diaper-eez has amazing products for babies (like sparkly Ruby Red shoes by TOMS shoes), but did you know there’s also fantastic finds for moms.  How about matching mom and baby Padraig slippers?
7. We’ve all heard of the elusive “Date Night”, make it actually happen by hiring a nanny for the evening.  Nannies On Call. 
8. Massage Gift Certificates!  Book her an appointment at PhysioPlus Health Group to discuss the aches and pains her body is experiencing post pregnancy. 
9. You can’t go wrong with anything purchased from L’enveloppe Rouge.  Some of my favourites include Posy Paper Notebooks and Tokyo Milk Soap.
10. Take a look through the pictures of your new family – is Mom actually in any of them or is she always the one taking the photo?  Book a family photo session with Small Ant Productions.
11. She’s probably tired of eating left over baby food for dinner – SupperWorks helps her prepare delicious home cooking without the planning, shopping, slicing or cleanup.
12.  Coffee, play and companionship – a new mom can get all three with a play pass from The Busy Genie. 

Of course, you can also give mom the gift of connecting with other local moms, businesses and her own precious little bundle.  Mommy Connections West Toronto provides a unique learning opportunity as well as a fun way to bond with her child and other moms in a social environment.  She’ll demo the most popular classes in her community and learn from leading experts.  Gift Certificates are available!
