Christmas is THE magical time of year when we love getting together with family. Some parents-to-be even take the opportunity to announce a pregnancy. Whether you are already a parent or 2023 is about to become the most beautiful year of your life, this Christmas should be magical! It is a moment of joy and sharing that you will remember for the rest of your life.
But Christmas also means an intensive search for gifts! And yes! 😉
Is Santa Claus still waiting for your list? Perfect timing. To help you out, we have selected below a list of gift ideas for the festive season.
Jewellery: timeless gifts.
The pregnancy bola: a 2-in-1 gift
The bola is a small, elegant and precious piece of jewellery that can be worn from the 20th week of pregnancy. As the mother moves, it gives off a gentle sound that can be reassuring for the baby. After birth, the melody produced by the bola can continue to soothe the newborn; the bola can therefore be sewn inside a comforter or hung above the cot.
The pregnancy bola is THE perfect gift for any mum-to-be.
Bola chains
A bola that reflects your style? It’s possible! In addition to the wide variety of bolas available in different colours and shapes, you can also choose a chain you love. Silver-coloured, fine gold-plated or black rhodium, there is something for every taste.
Personalised jewellery
Personalised jewellery is a wonderful gift idea. As parents, we love looking back on such an important moment in life: the birth of a child. Different brands offer the possibility of engraving this unforgettable moment onto a beautiful piece of jewellery.
At Cache Cœur, we absolutely love the pendants from Mon Petit Poids. Available as a bracelet or long necklace, you can personalise this birth pendant by adding the baby’s name, date of birth or even birth weight, or let your creativity run free by adding your own message. An ideal gift for parents-to-be!
A gift to strengthen the bond
Many benefits are associated with baby wraps. Ergonomic wraps, in particular, help keep the baby in a position that supports healthy development of the hips and spine. Keeping your newborn close to you can also stimulate muscle tone and help reduce digestive discomfort. Babywearing also encourages the bond between parent and child. For parents, a baby wrap also makes it possible to keep your baby close while keeping your hands free. For example, the “Sling” from Love Radius or NéoBulle is a lovely option, depending on your needs. Our final tip: try to buy yours from a local shop near you so you can also benefit from babywearing classes. The little extra: add it to your baby gift list.
Cosy comfort for the festive season
A homewear outfit is the ultimate cosy piece to wear by the fire. Warm and comforting, it will accompany you throughout the long winter months. Whether pyjamas or loungewear, it is THE cosy Christmas gift.
A little reading…
An endless source of knowledge, books are a must-have Christmas gift. Romance, thrillers, crime novels, documentaries… there is something for everyone. At Cache Cœur, we have found two little bibles on breastfeeding and the postpartum period.
Breastfeeding: often a source of pressure, you will find all of Caroline Guillot’s tips in her book "Manuel très illustré d’allaitement" to help make breastfeeding more relaxed.
Postpartum: a subject that is often not discussed enough or in enough depth, this book will support every mother through her postpartum journey. Discover "SOS Post-Partum", written by Marie-Elise Launay, a midwife from Brest, and illustrated by Violette Suquet. You can watch her interview on how to make the most of the fourth trimester here.
A moment of relaxation
A massage
The arrival of a baby is always synonymous with happiness. We spend nine months preparing for their arrival, only to realise… that we may not feel quite as ready as we thought! After all, becoming a parent is not something you instinctively know everything about. 😉
A couples massage is an ideal gift for new parents. It gives them time to reconnect as a couple and release accumulated stress. You can also consider a therapeutic prenatal massage to relieve tension from the 4th month of pregnancy onwards.
Meditation
Sleep… now that’s a big subject! Any new parent can tell you that getting a good night’s sleep can be rather difficult during the first few months after your little one arrives. That is why restorative sleep is so important between every bottle, feed or nappy change. But with all the worries and stress, it can often be difficult to achieve.
We love the brand Morphée, which offers at-home meditation with its meditation and sophrology box. With sessions lasting between 8 and 20 minutes, Morphée is designed to help you fall asleep more easily and enjoy deeper sleep. It is THE gift for taking care of your sleep.
For those who can’t decide
Still hesitating? Choose a gift card. That way, you will have plenty of time to choose exactly what you would like to receive after the festive season. 😊
