This week, we’ve got a cracking Wishlist from Hannah at The Sunday Scrapbook, just for all you dazzling new mums out there. Whether you’re gifting yourself a little summin’ special or spreading the joy to a fab new mum you know, this list is sure to bring a smile wider than a barn door!
Let me hand you over to Hannah for her top 5...
Being a mum is magical but let's face it, it's also testing! Mums deserve a medal if they don't let a sneaky rude word slip out their mouths at least once a day! If like me, the F word has creeped into your daily vocab, then this cute mug can act as a reminder that that's okay - we're only human and we are still amazing mamas!
I am such a big fan of this canvas bag - not only do I love the dusty green colour and the fonts used, but I love how practical it would be for mums on the go! (I.e plenty of space for the kids snacks and toys!). This trusty bag would also be a great reminder during the weekly shop to treat yourself to a cheeky bouquet of your fav flowers, because you deserve it mama!
Our bodies look different when we become mums and sometimes it can be hard to adjust to these changes. I certainly know I've found dressing myself postpartum quite a challenge! This simple little mirror decal would be a perfect gift for a mum - a subtle reminder that even though she might not recognise herself in the mirror, motherhood has given her an extra special glow and she looks lovely because of it!
Messy hair...don't care - lets own it mamas! This hat would be a great pick for mums for the autumn/winter months. There's only so many days that the good old 'mum bun' style can cut it and for the times when your kids won't allow you time to even brush your hair, this is a good go-to! I especially love it in green (can you tell it's my fav colour yet?!)
Okay, so maybe this isn't a gift directly for mums themselves, but hear me out! I think this is something that would speak to both the organised and not so organised mums amongst us. For the organised mums, this gorgeous canvas advent calendar is a Pinterest dream! It is re-usable and if you are creative, you can really personalise each little pocket for your child. For the not so organised mums, this saves you remembering every year to buy the kids a choccy advent calendar. Simply fill this up with sweet treats and ta-dah! (And what mum doesn't have treats in their cupboard all year round?!)
