Wouldn’t you love to get a baby thank you card in the mail that was just so sincere and grateful for your thoughtfulness? As fun as it is to shop for those cute baby outfits and tiny shoes, sometimes what a new mom loves best is a helping hand during those exhilarating but hectic first weeks of motherhood.  So next time someone you know becomes a mom, gather a few friends, relatives or co-workers to chip in for one of the following gift ideas brought to you from the team of moms at LookLoveSend.

Easy-prep dinners: Any pre-prepared meal that can be eaten at home would be welcomed by a new mom (and dad!)  Whether you bake a tray of lasagna, grab some ready-made dishes from your grocery store, or even pickup takeout from a local restaurant – our bet is that you can’t go wrong here.

Diaper delivery: New moms often under-estimate the number of diapers they need, or don’t realize how quickly a newborn can grow a size.  Companies like Amazon and diapers.com both offer delivery services that can be easily setup by brand, size and schedule.  No more 10pm runs to the pharmacy to grab an emergency pack!

Grocery shop: Even if you don’t know what the family buys on a weekly basis, it’s always a welcome gesture to send several bags of groceries to help the new family.  Pick out some healthy snack options, fruit, fresh bread, cheeses – new parents may find themselves up at night more often than they’d like, so give them some great snacks to help them through.

Babysitting voucher: Don’t be offended if new parents don’t take you up on your offer to babysit right away, but after settling into their routine (and getting a little sleep) they may appreciate a few hours of babysitting so they can dine out, catch a movie, or simply catch up on some errands.  Some new parents may be hesitant to ask, but their relaxation is important too.

Those early weeks with a newborn can be chaotic and tiring as much as they are joyful and exciting.  The baby shower is a great time to buy outfits, baby gear and toys, but bringing a new mother the gift of help is sure to delight.
