When your little one was born, what gifts were placed at the foot of your bed? Soft cuddly toys, colorful onesies, baby clothes or a toiletry kit for your newborn? Of course, everyone, including family and friends, wants to shower this tiny, but already vibrant child with gifts. But you, yes you, new mom, who's thinking of celebrating you? Fatigue, pregnancy aches, nausea, dietary restrictions... Because you've endured it all for the love of this little baby, here are some gift ideas made in Élhée, to slip into the ears of your well-intentioned loved ones.

Feeling good in your sneakers thanks to postnatal yoga

What is postnatal yoga? Quite simply, it's a type of yoga focused on the new mother, and entirely adapted to the post-partum period. Gradually and gently, it enables the body to be drained, relaxed, stretched and toned, according to the experience of pregnancy, childbirth and the physical and physiological state of each participant.

The little plus? Because these classes are limited in the number of participants, there's no pressure or judgment. All life paths are welcome, as are babies and all emotions. Kindness is the watchword.

A photo shoot before or after pregnancy to admire yourself

The third and fourth trimesters of pregnancy are not always those when women are at their best. Accumulated fatigue, dull hair, extra kilos, lack of time for oneself... And yet! Offering a pregnancy photo shoot or a birth photo shoot is a wonderful way to press "pause" and fight the passage of time forever. In a few years' time, everyone will look back on the photos with affection, tenderness and emotion.

- To liven it up, consider a maxilivraison of flowers made in Bergamotte.

The little extra? Today's photographers vie with each other in their creativity to enable expectant and new mothers to see themselves through the prism of self-confidence and empowerment. Whether you're on your own or with your family, in the water, in the middle of a field of flowers or in a public place, it's up to you to decide where you feel like a fish in water!

On cloud nine with an aquatic wellness session

It's always a good idea to offer a session or membership to enjoy the benefits of a pool, spa or massage . So when it comes to relieving the aches and pains of a woman experiencing her first post-partum (or not), we say bingo! Indeed, while massages relax, revitalize and help you regain control of your body, water brings a real moment of plenitude that helps to forget or blur stiffness and so many other little or big aches and pains, while soothing the mind.

The little extra? Massage, swimming pool or spa - why not enjoy it with friends, sisters or your mother? This is the great advantage of wellness breaks, which are good for all ages and create an intimate atmosphere where you can talk and share confidences.

Exempted from chores for a month

Here's a less common gift, but just as welcome for expectant and new mothers. During the final months of pregnancy, the belly becomes more and more cumbersome and the efforts more and more difficult to make. After the birth of a child, every habit of life is turned upside down and every hour is counted, including sleep. To alleviate this major upheaval, it can be very useful tooffer hours of housework, or takeaway meals delivered several times a week for a month, for example. Offering to look after your baby can also be very welcome.

The little extra? To find a formula that allows young parents to subscribe by the hour or by the package, and to choose the services that interest them, but above all, that provide the most relief.

A voucher to buy from the best cheese-maker: for pleasure

As part of our efforts to maximize the happiness of the new mother, indulging her sweet tooth can be an excellent idea, especially since pregnancy has its share of deprivations, especially when it comes to cheese. Of course, there are many tasty recipes for pregnant women, but being able to indulge yourself with a real cheese platter is priceless. A voucher or a well-stocked envelope guarantee a gourmet shopping experience to be shared for good times!

The little extra? For a truly personalized birth gift entirely dedicated to mom, you can choose your favorite restaurant, your favorite delivery person, your favorite shopkeeper... and let them in on the secret, for a welcome that's also 100% dedicated.

The best French baby bottle

Breastfeeding, mixed breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, is an intimate choice for every woman. However, there's no reason why you shouldn'tgive a baby bottle as a gift, especially if it's the best French baby bottle currently available! Healthy, without risk of breakage, light, supple, soft under the little fingers and terribly stylish, the bibROND Élhée has it all. For a complete birth gift box, it can be accompanied by a diaper change and spare teats.

The little extra? 100% French design and development. bibROND originated in and is still based in the Rhône-Alpes region, for the pleasure of supporting the "made in France" industry, and the assurance of a quality product and manufacturing process, in complete transparency.

A trendy changing bag for stylish outings

Another useful baby gift is the changing bag. But not just any diaper bag, a model XXL inside, ingenious, ultra-compartmentalized and above all wildly trendy. We can imagine, for example, an ecofriendy changing bag, made from organic and/or vegan materials, that would go with the wispiest summer outfits, or with the chunky knit sweaters de rigueur for a winter birth. What more could you ask for to carry all your baby's stuff?

- To accompany her, don't hesitate and choose a nursing garment from the beautiful Tajine Banane collection.

The little extra? Check that the bag you've chosen has all the usual accessories (changing mat, pacifier pocket...), as well as places reserved for mom's things (keys, cell phone, make-up...). These pockets (ideally zipped) are a real advantage in use.

And when are we going to give our beautiful birth gift?

Choosing the right moment is essential to making the most beautiful gift. But to know when to give a mother a baby gift, it's important to consider the type of gift in question.

Before the birth, you can offer or participate in gifts such as a pregnancy photo session, or a perinatal massage session. In short, any gift for the mother-to-be.
As soon as the birth is announced, you can send your gift by La Poste. Why send it? Because, in the first days and even weeks of her post-partum period, the new mother will want to rest and get to know her baby. Prefer to hand-deliver? Wait until the next point.
After birth, there is no ideal date. But why? Because a birth gift is always a pleasure, even months later. It's a good time, for example, to think about postnatal yoga, a French bottle or a gift voucher for a cheese shop.

birth gifts don't take the same form all over the world. In China, tradition dictates that babies are given silver and gold jewelry as soon as they are born. In return, young parents offer red eggs, a symbol of fertility and wealth.

In Mexico, red is also the color of choice, but this time it's worn on the baby's wrist for protection, like a talisman.

In Sweden, a small wooden horse is painted carmine. The Dalécarlie or Dala horse is another symbol of protection for children.

Finally, in Japan, the tradition is manifold, with an envelope containing money, or a wooden sculpture, or even a piece of umbilical cord handed over by the midwives. This symbolizes the strength and durability of the mother-child bond.
