Delivery-day gifts for a new mum
Gifts for the mum, not the baby: things that make the first days in hospital and at home easier. Friends and family abroad can order them to the parents' address.
Some links are affiliate links, so the store may pay us a small commission. Your price doesn't change.
💡 Good to know
Ask before sending flowers to a hospital — some maternity wards don't allow them. When in doubt, send everything to the parents' home for when they arrive.
Questions
What is a good delivery-day gift for a new mum?
Something for her, not the baby: flowers or a plant, a box of chocolates or snacks, cosy slippers or a soft robe, and practical comfort items like a big water bottle and a long phone cable.
Can I send flowers to the hospital?
Check first: some maternity wards and neonatal units don't allow flowers. Sending them to the parents' home is always safe.

How this shop works
We don't sell anything and we don't list prices. Each idea is a search on a store in the country you choose — Amazon where it sells, otherwise a big local store — so you see what is actually available and delivered near you.
