Becoming a Mom is such an amazing time in our lives, and getting to celebrate your first Mother’s Day is an exciting right of passage. The first time that you get a celebrate this day as a Mom yourself; A chance to enjoy the journey that you have gone through and your time with your little one! As we approach our second Mother’s Day, Katie and I wanted to share some of our favorite items that remind us of our little ones, that we think would make perfect Mother’s Day gifts for any new mom.
Child’s Initial Stud Earrings
In my opinion, earrings are the perfect accessory; They’re a quick and easy way to pull together any outfit. I knew from my experience working with children that once I became a mom, large hoops and dangling earrings would be reserved for special occasions and date nights. I was looking for a pair of simple, delicate, and classic studs that I could wear every day. My husband found these initial stud earrings last year for my first Mother’s Day and they are perfect! They are small enough that E can’t grab them, they’re comfortable, and they’re simple enough to go with any outfit. They’re also hypoallergenic, so wearing them every day does not cause any irritation or discomfort to my ears. You can choose from any initial to match your little one’s name, and they offer three finishes (gold, silver or rose gold) to match any style.
Custom Art Piece
As a parent, we try and lock every little moment into our brains and no doubt have tons of pictures of our newborn. Choose a favorite from the early days and commission a local artist, like Isabella aka thegalinkzoo, to create a custom piece. This thoughtful gift can be beautifully displayed around your home or at the office to keep your little one "close" all day long. For other art ideas, check out Isabelle on Instagram or visit her Etsy shop!
Birthstone Stacking Ring
WheI think this has been my favorite E gift I have received so far. Chris gave me this stackable birthstone ring for Christmas last year and I absolutely love it. Because I work with my hands, it is important for me to have jewelry that is small and wont scratch the patients. This ring is dainty and beautiful! It’s small enough that most of the time I honestly forget that I am wearing it. My favorite aspect of the ring is that it’s stackable, so I can get a matching one when baby number two comes along. The Etsy shop, kbestdesigns, offers a variety of designs from simple to ornate rings in every birthstone. They also offer gold, rose gold and white gold plating to match any style.
Child’s Initial Necklace
Katie here! This is my accessory of choice. Not much for earrings (even with having 11 ear piercings!) I opted for this delicate R necklace from Etsy. I wear it all of the time, rarely even taking it off for sleep, and it has yet to break or tarnish. I love how delicate the necklace and letter are, which goes with every outfit style. This specific necklace is offered in a variety of lengths, which with more than one child, can turn into a beautiful layered necklace look. I chose a gold filled, 15 inch length, which hangs just below my neck from TheJewelryStandard.
Matching Coffee Mug and Sippy Cup
What Mama doesn't want to match with their little ones?! Having little boys makes this something that becomes a little more difficult. Little girls have so many sweet options for matching Mommy and Me outfits, but there don’t seem to be any options for Moms with little boys. I was searching for cute Mother’s Day gifts for my Mom this year when I stumbled across this adorable Mama and Me matching coffee mug and sippy cup. I’m not a coffee drinker, but that didn’t stop me from ordering this adorable matching set for E and I. It’s perfect for Saturday morning tea or hot water and lemon. The etsy store, Helmsiebaby, offers multiple cute designs so you can choose which one fits you and your little ones personality best.
