Make it meaningful: Personalised gifts for a new mum’s first Mother’s Day

Picking a gift for a new mum? It’s not easy — especially when it’s for her first Mother’s Day. You want it to be authentic, make her feel valued, and most importantly, actually mean something. Can’t find anything that meets these criteria? Luckily, our Mother’s Day photo gifts fit the bill perfectly.

Whether baby’s on the way or already in the world, these personalised gift options will show her just how lucky her tiny human is to have a mum like her.

Her first Mother’s Day

Pregnancy and early motherhood can whizz by. One minute she's getting acquainted with her bump. The next, she's at her scan watching a tiny heartbeat. Then, suddenly, the baby shower arrives, and not long after that there’s a new human in the world.

While all of these moments are magical for new mums, they can be exhausting, too.

There are sleepless nights, smelly nappies, and all the anxiety that comes with being a new parent. So, that first Mother's Day is a chance to really support her. Show her why she’s wonderful. Give her plenty of hugs. And, remind her that however hard it gets, the people around her are always rooting for her.

Why that first Mother’s Day gift matters

It’s true — you can’t buy back sleep. But with the right gift, you *can* make her feel seen and celebrated.

Friend or family member? Take the time to pamper her. Remind her that she's doing a fantastic job. Pick out a personalised “new mum” gift that captures the chaos and beauty of this fleeting chapter in her life.

This is your chance to create something that freezes time. Because while motherhood changes everything, what hasn't changed is how brilliantly special she is to you. And the right gift will prove that.

Mother’s Day feat. bump

Want to give “bump” (aka baby) all the credit for the gift? It may not be traditional, but it’s bound to make her heart burst.

Unsure which gift to give her? It’s a mini gift from a mini human, so a Mini Photo Book just makes sense. Pack this pocket-sized memory vault with precious scan photos, mum and bump in all their glory, those “first maternity dress” styling snaps — the lot.

Why not pair it with a Personalised Photo Card? Add a photo of her looking pregnant and fabulous, plus a cute message inside like “can’t wait to meet you!”

Want to give your personalised present a special final touch? For the cherry on top, pop the card and book into a tasteful box, along with a few of her favourite self-care products. It'll make those pregnancy aches feel a little more worth it

Baby’s in the world, and mum needs a break

Know that she’d love forty winks right now? Maybe she’s desperate for some time in her favourite tub? Here’s a first Mother’s Day present idea she’ll definitely be thankful for.

First, offer to babysit while she baths and naps. No lukewarm two-minute splash or 60-second snooze. A proper soak, plenty of bubble bath, and a good old sleep. Oh, and come armed with some beautiful Framed Photos (just don’t tell her).

While she’s upstairs getting some much-needed R&R, you’re going to be playing interior designer. There are no hammers or nails involved (don’t worry).

Once she’s safely upstairs, clear a special spot on her sideboard for those newly framed prints and get arranging. You can mix and match photo sizes to keep it dynamic. Why not do a large landscape shot of the whole family next to a few 8x6s of baby's first smile? Or a perfect crop of teeny tiny toes next to a snap of little fingers wrapped around mums?

You could even bring in a Bamboo and Acrylic Photo Block for contrast — the ideal way to show off that magical black and white shot of baby sleeping on dad's chest. Adorable.

Want to take your display up a notch? Create a tasteful triptych. Think: scan photo, bump at 8 months, and first day home. Just three simple frames can tell the entire story of early motherhood.

Finish it all off with a small vase of fresh flowers that’ll cheer her up when she walks in the room. It’ll be a little surprise from a big act of love.

After something sentimental, creative, or just plain adorable? Whether it’s a Family Photo Book or an album just for the newborn, these thoughtful gifts celebrate every sweet moment of motherhood.

From dad

Want to show your partner why she’s the best mummy in the world? Another adorable gift that you can give to mum from the little one is a Premium Hardcover Photo Book. And it’s even better when filled with professional baby photos.

Plan a surprise photo shoot featuring everyday cuddles at home. Or, do a dreamy outdoor field shoot featuring mum and baby enjoying the last of the evening sun.

After selecting a book size, you can pick your page type. Go for a glossy page finish if you want vibrant, high-contrast images that pop. Or choose lustre for a soft, elegant feel with minimal glare. Every page will be a reminder of just how loved she is.

Reckon she’d prefer a daily reminder of her journey as a mum? Go for a stylish Wooden Block Calendar instead. Each day, she’ll get a daily glimpse of motherhood unfolding. Plus, they’re perfect for counting down to big events.

From her best friend

You were there at every stage. The pregnancy announcement. The gender reveal. The 3 am texts questioning life choices. Now it’s time to make her smile with the kind of gift that goes perfectly with motherhood: A Personalised Photo Mug.

Celebrate the magic (and madness) of her life with every single slurp. You could add a cute collage of funny “first time” moments, a side-by-side comparison of post and pre-mum Friday nights, or one big snap showcasing her best parallel buggy park at the crèche.

Why not pair it with some afternoon tea treats or tuck something tiny inside? You could do an adorable baby vest with a cheeky slogan, or pop in some emergency tea bags for when she’s far too exhausted to get her and baby to the shop.

Feel like you want to get her something else? Complete your bestie gift with one of our durable Baby Photo Books. After all, all those candid baby shots deserve better than just living in your phone gallery. She might not even know they exist...

From her sister

So, you’ve graduated to auntie status and it’s kind of a big deal, right? Show her all the reasons you love your new role by gifting her a Premium or Standard Hardcover Photo Book filled with unforgettable memories and your best heartfelt captions.

Add photos of her looking completely besotted. Snaps of you, her, and the baby’s cheekiest smiles. Those candid shots where she's pulling faces to stop the crying.

You were there to witness it all — and as a sister, you couldn’t be prouder.
