Thoughtful Gifts New Moms Will Cherish: A Gift Guide for Husbands, Moms of New Moms, In-Laws, and Mom Friends

Welcoming a new baby is a transformative time, and thoughtful gifts can make a world of difference for a new mom. Whether you're a husband, a new mom, in-law, or close friend, here are three meaningful gift ideas to show how much you care.

1. Mome E-Gift Card: The Perfect Last-Minute Gift

If you want to give the gift of choice and need a perfect last-minute option, a Mome e-gift card is your best and safest bet. No need to worry about sizing or shipping—it's as easy as selecting the amount, and the e-gift card will be sent to your email address. You can then forward it to your recipient, and she can immediately start picking out her favorite items.

A Mome E-Gift Card never expires, giving her the freedom to shop when she’s ready. You can choose a gift card amount ranging from as low as $25 to as much as $200. It’s a thoughtful and flexible gift that shows you care about her personal preferences and convenience.

2.  A poetry book about motherhood

Have a new mom friend who's an avid reader or a great writer? We can't recommend Jessica Urlichs’ Early Motherhood Poetry Collection enough. Jessica is the No#1 International Bestselling Author, poet, and a mom from New Zealand who writes heartfelt poetry about motherhood. Her words have touched so many people, especially new moms.   Her sweet, truthful, and touching words cut right through the heart, leaving every mother to feel seen and empowered. It's the perfect bedside accompaniment in the most transformational season of a new mom's life yet. 

In mid-2024, we contacted Jessica to feature one of her touching poems for moms, "Not Just" 💗, which includes the powerful line: "You are a mother, but never ‘just’." This poem is featured on a limited-edition care label for Mome dresses produced from July 2024 to May 2025.  

Please read the details of Guide #3 on how this care label will look and how it will impact our new moms who receive the Mome dress.

3. A Mome Dress with Nursing Zippers + special care label featuring the poem for moms “Not Just”

Functional, Beautiful and Meaningful Gift

Want to bring more ease to a breastfeeding mom's life? A Mome dress with nursing zippers is a gift she’ll love. At Mome, we’ve disguised our nursing zippers as bust darts, ensuring they blend seamlessly with the dress's feminine design. Best of all, they eliminate the hassle of unbuttoning clothes, carrying a nursing cover, or searching for a private space to breastfeed or pump in peace.

This thoughtful feature allows moms to attend special family occasions or casual lunches with friends while staying true to their style. Mome dresses are designed to be both practical and beautiful, helping new moms feel confident and comfortable.

And as we mentioned above, we have created a special care label that includes a poem for moms, 'Not Just,' written by Jessica." It makes our dress an even more meaningful gift, as the care label included isn't just a regular care label—it’s a special one that shows how much we care for all the moms. Check out our video reel to see how the care label looks on a Mome dress!

Since launching this special care label, we’ve been warmed by messages of gratitude from our customers. When they read the care label while learning how to wash their clothes, they’re delighted to discover a heartfelt message that brightens their day and lifts their spirits.

So, if you’re gifting a Mome dress, be sure to tell your mom friend, in-law, or your wife to take a look at the special care label. It’s a thoughtful touch that shows how much you care and will surely brighten her day.

Wrap It All Up with Love

Whether you choose a flexible Mome E-Gift Card, a soul-stirring poetry book, or a Mome dress with nursing zippers and special care label with the poem for moms, these gifts are designed to make her feel cherished, understood, and loved.
