10 of the Best Gift Ideas for New Mums on Mother’s Day

New mums often receive lots of lovely gifts for their little ones, from baby blankets to personalised keepsakes.

But, we think it’s just as important to treat the new mama to a special present that’s just for them, especially if they are about to celebrate their first Mother’s Day.

Here we share our top 10 best gifts for new mums. From letterbox flowers to bouquet gift sets, our picks are sure to be greatly received by new mums. 

A gift to celebrate the new arrival 

Daffodils are a symbol of rebirth and new beginnings, so what better gift to give a new mum to celebrate their new arrival than a bunch of 100 bright yellow daffodils? A beautiful bouquet of daffodils is sure to put a smile on their face, and you can make this gift extra special by adding a glass vase, box of Guylian Chocolates or bottle of prosecco!

A gift to send them love every month 

An ongoing flower subscription is a lovely way to treat a new mum on Mother’s Day or ‘just because’. Choose from three, six or 12 month seasonal bouquet deliveries, and if you subscribe in time for Mother’s Day, they’ll receive our beautiful spring flowers, Shades of Spring. This hand-tied bouquet features pink tulips, spray roses, fragrant blue hyacinths, and limonium. 

A gift for easy and hassle-free delivery 

We know how busy new mums are, and if you’re worried they might not have time to open the door to a delivery service, opt for letterbox flowers instead. They are super convenient as they won’t disturb napping little ones when they are popped through the letterbox, and they are just as beautiful as our hand-tied bouquets. Our Spring Meadow letterbox bouquet is ideal for Mother’s Day with joyful daffodils, yellow tulips, and blue iris. 

A gift for those (rare) moments of R&R 

Give the gift of R&R to a new mum and treat them to a floral bouquet with a complementary beauty gift set. We’ve paired our gorgeous bouquets with pampering treats like hand cream, body lotion, shower gel and bath bombs. Hand cream is always great for new mums to have within reach, especially when they are constantly washing up after little ones! 

A gift for those late-night feeds 

We don’t know any new mum who wouldn’t be delighted to receive a beautiful bouquet and chocolate duo on their first Mother’s Day. We’ve got plenty of gorgeous flowers to choose from, which come with a Mother’s Day card, glass vase and a box of Guylian Chocolates. Those late-night feeds = sorted. 

A gift to toast the new arrival 

Help the new mum celebrate her arrival with a beautiful bouquet and bottle of bubbly. Choose from a variety of hand-tied blooms paired with delectable champagnes and proseccos.

A gift to say ‘I love you’ 

For partners looking for new mum gifts, you can’t go wrong with a red rose or 50… Our sweetheart roses bouquet will help you show them just how special they are to you. While one rose says ‘I love you’, 50 of these romantic flowers say ‘I love you unconditionally’ which can mean the world to a new mum as you navigate the early days of parenthood together. 

A gift for boy mums 

While you don’t have to stick to the traditional ‘blue for boys and pink for girls’ theme, (you can celebrate a new arrival with any colour of flowers, of course), we think our Gift Wrapped Blue Hydrangea Plant is a lovely present for a mum who has just welcomed a baby boy. Plus, it’s a low-maintenance gift that doesn’t require any trimming or arranging. Win! 

A gift for girl mums 

For the mums who have welcomed a baby girl, our Gift Wrapped Pink Hydrangea Plant is the perfect Mother’s Day gift. As with our Blue Hydrangea Plant it comes wrapped in a pot and doesn’t require any trimming or arranging. It will arrive in bud in green ready to bloom at home. 

A gift to show your admiration 

Our Mum’s Lily & Rose bouquet is the perfect Mother’s Day treat. This classic bouquet of pink flowers features beautiful pink roses, lilac roses, and fragrant pink oriental lilies. Not only does this bouquet look pretty, it has a very special meaning behind it. In the language of flowers (floriography), pink roses are a symbol of admiration, while lilac roses are associated with happiness and long life, and pink oriental lilies are seen as a symbol of love and femininity. Pair this bouquet with a thoughtful note and you’ve got a foolproof gift for a new mum.
