We all know you want to send a thoughtful gift to your new mum friend. But what do you buy when they've already got everything? In this article, we'll make it easy on you. We've gathered together some of the most useful items we think are essential for any New Mum Gift Box whether she's had a baby or adopted an older child.
Nutritious Snacks
You may be surprised to learn that the most nutritious snacks are not what you think. In fact, many of the foods that we typically think of as healthy aren't actually good for us at all.
Instead of reaching for that bag of nuts or trail mix when you want something on hand, try one of these options instead:
- Nuts and seeds--a good source of protein and fibre
- Dried fruit--high in natural sugars but also contains fibre and antioxidants that help prevent disease; choose varieties without added sugar or salt (look for "unsculptured" on the label)
These nutritious snacks are must have food items for mum to be gift box. So why not give to your loved ones.
Herbal Tea
Herbal tea is a great way to relax, and it's also good for you! Herbal teas are caffeine-free and have no added sugar, so they're healthier than most other drinks.
They're also easy to make at home using loose-leaf tea or tea bags (you can find these at your local supermarket).
If you're not sure what kind of herbal teas she'd like, try some of our favourites: chamomile tea is calming; minty blends are refreshing; rooibos (red bush) and green teas offer lots of antioxidants; ginger helps relieve nausea during pregnancy; hibiscus flowers make an excellent summertime iced beverage when combined with strawberries or raspberries
Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate is a healthy treat that you can feel good about giving to your new mum. It's high in antioxidants, which fight off free radicals and help prevent heart disease.
Dark chocolate also contains magnesium and copper, two minerals that are important for a healthy pregnancy and motherhood.
Dark chocolate is better for you than white chocolate because it has less sugar, which means it has fatter and calories--but don't let this deter you!
Dark chocolate has more than twice as much cocoa solids (the good stuff) than milk chocolates do; therefore, eating dark chocolate will give you more bang for your buck!
Healthy Meals
If you're looking for healthy and nutritious meal options, think about including these items:
- Protein bars. They're easy to store, can be eaten on the go and are full of nutrients.
- Granola bars or other snacks that are high in fibre and low in sugar (choose ones made with whole grains). These will help keep your energy levels up throughout the day!
- Fruits and veggies that don't need refrigeration like applesauce pouches or baby carrots (oranges may not travel well). It's also a good idea to include some healthy snacks like nuts or trail mix so mom can enjoy something sweet when she needs it most!
Conclusion
We hope this list has given you some ideas for what to include in new mum gift box for the new mum. She'll appreciate the thoughtfulness of your gift and all the delicious treats that come with it!
