Christmas gifts for new mums


Get them the gift of relaxation (Picture: John Lewis/Argos/TK Maxx/Asos)

If a new mum is spending their first Christmas with baby, they’ll probably be feeling every emotion from elated to frazzled.

You’ll likely see a million gifts you can get for the new addition to the family, but what do you get for mum?

It’s always nice to make up a little care package, but depending on your friend or family member, there’s every chance they’ll have all the baby stuff (and accoutrements of that nature) they need.

That’s why we’ve compiled a whole host of things you can get, from items that make this whole new world a little easier, to things that are just fun and not mum-related at all.
