Or you can look up a local restaurant and get a giftcard for there. Even if they can't go out they can do take-out. I'd probably add a small board book for the baby, or a cute wooden teether maybe. </p> <p>If it's someone who lives in the same area I usually do a succulent plus a gift card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-suggestions-for-new-mom#post-2718887 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 19:10:35 +0000 Meow 2718887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: her baby is a couple months old.

Is she new enough that her registry would still be up? Granted, you would have to do some searching to find out where it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-suggestions-for-new-mom#post-2718484 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 14:12:49 +0000 PixieStix 2718484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For baby, one of those mini stuffed animals attached to a pacifier. For mama, maybe a gift card to a coffee place or for a pedicure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-suggestions-for-new-mom#post-2718453 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 13:42:08 +0000 caterw 2718453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a really cute chew beads necklace and now that is my go to present for new mamas...

She is hosting me so I wanted to get her a gift either for herself or baby. Admittedly I don't know much about her life now except where she lives and works. It's not enough to guess her likes and wishes. I don't want to ask cause she would prob just say oh I don't need anything. Suggestions for a thoughtful gift for a new mom currently on mat leave or even just a general thoughtful gift for a 30 something yr old woman? </p>
