I work for a state medical insurance, and we are trying to figure out what we can give to newborn moms we are giving the newborns baby stuff and a gift card for baby’s r us, but what about the moms what are some ideas to give them? Bath robe, slippers, nice lotions, candles etc? Something to make them feel good and not forgotten with the newborn and all?
You are talking about buying this stuff using my tax dollars? I work for a living and ended up with a $3000 hospital bill (insurance only paid a portion) and what did my state buy me? NOTHING.
Why is tax money being wasted on presents? We just gave her the “present” of a baby & pregnancy that she didn’t have to pay for.
Why is it that I get to work harder, take more jobs, can’t afford to have another baby, yet if I would only stop working and leave my husband, I could get a day at the spa. I sure as heck can’t afford it now.
If it is my tax money, then I say buy her birth control and parenting classes so I don’t end up paying for her kid to have kids they can’t afford either.
What crap. When are we going to stop REWARDING people who make bad choices? WHEN?
Bubble baths/shower gels, soft towels/face cloths, lotions, any toiletries that are great for pampering. Fruit basket, supermarket vouchers,
well a year membership to the gym would be nice…If not any type of pampering would be great…this is very nice what you guys are doing for these moms…but maybe if you give them whatever they need for there babies like diapers and stuff it would be enough…as long as my baby is ok im ok
A robe sounds wonderful. A white soft robe with your logo on it would be exceptional.
AFTER I HAD MY DAUGHTER AND COULD NOT EAT FOR THE TIME I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL THAT IS ANY OTHER THAN LIQIUDS I WANTED FOOD BUT MOSTLY CHOCOLATE SO I THINK A BOX OF CHOCOLATES AND MAYBE A LITTLE BATH SET.THAT WOULD BE REALLY NICE AND IT IS A REALLY NICE PROGRAM YOU HAVE.
GOOD LUCK WITH ALL YOUR ANSWERS AND IDEAS!
I’m a low income mother, with a job, and private insurance, and my insurance company sent me a parenting book. It has every topic in it.
I agree with Gem to a certain point. Why waste more taxpayers money on that? I dont know all the details.. but im sure if they are low income, and with state medical insurance.. they most likely dont pay much for the bills… and I’m sure they also get wic, food stamps, daycare assistance (if they work) why give them more? How about a list of other resources from other non-profit agency’s? That would be the best gift of all.
i think your on the right path. if they are low income, a robe and some slippers with some “at home spa stuff” might be a perfect idea. dont forget bubble bath…new moms love a good soak!
A journal to write down those early experiences…you’re so tired, it’s tough to remember things when you look back at it.
Yes, the toiletry and self-pampering items would be nice, maybe also some indulgent treats such as samples of gourmet coffee and/or chocolate, or gift cards for those. Parenting reference books or resources might also be helpful. Gift certificate for photographer or film developing or scrapbooking supplies. Gift card for clothes–you know they will need a whole new post-baby wardrobe–maybe something all-purpose to a department store that could be used for either baby or Mom. Some sort of soft comfy pillow could come in very handy for helping to hold the baby–especially for a Mom who’s had a C-section.
What a neat idea!
After giving birth, I ended up with extremely dry skin—my mom was the same way—so nice smelling lotions would be nice.
I’ve also been in pj’s for 3 months, so maybe those would’ve been cool, too. LOL.
1. a message
2. candels and nice bath products
3. soft bath robe which she can also use during breast feeding
4. someone to watch the baby while she soaks in the bath
I’ve always found that relaxing bath sets or lotions make really good gifts for new moms.
They are cheap, and come in all varietys so it’s easy to get one to accomodate anyone.
Also, we all know that anything that helps relax a new mom is a bonus.
spa gift certificate.
How about a gift certificate for a few hours of babysitting? Would be extra nice if mom had older children.
Make a dinner dish! My next door neighbor just had a baby, and I made her King Ranch Chicken casserole, she told me that was best, most helpful and practical gift she got.
What a nice thing!! All of the things you mentioned sound very nice! I would recommend bubble bath as it is important for new moms to take lots of baths to relax and feel better after having given birth.
What about a gift certificate to a hair salon? I would have loved that! A gift certificate for a dinner for two would be very nice too! Even a gift certificate for groceries would be beneficial…or even for take out…so they can stay in with the baby and still get some good food without the fuss!
This is a wonderful idea…where were you when I had my babies?!
I love the maid service idea above…that would have to be the best thing!!!!!!!!!
What I would have liked is a lovely big insulated cup with a lid and a straw that is just the right size to carry ice-water around in all day. Or one of those “U” – shaped nursing-pillows.
A gift certificate for a pedicure would be super-luxurious.
A CD of classical lullabyes was the best gift I got, though – the baby fell asleep to that for the first six months of her life, and now if I put that CD on in the car for a trip, she is out like a light after the first song is over.
well I nursed and having nursing pads for her bras would be a nice but regularly forgotten thing lol. Also all that….to make her feel pretty, maybe a pedicure, after all she hasn’t seen her feet in months
Maid service : )
