Amazing Gifts for Black Millennial Moms

Expecting Millennial Moms

Expecting mamas look forward to receiving gifts that will make new mom life easier.

1. Diaper bags make great gifts! Especially bags with lots of storage. New moms have lots of new items to carry around with them. Extra baby clothes, bottles, breastfeeding pump, breastmilk storage, and more! Get her a cute, large, and compartmentalized bag to save her some trouble. The Mommy Pro Shop offers a great option with the Keababies Explorer backpack

1. Self care kit – Mom deserves a moment to herself every now and then. When she as a NEW new baby, there’s a lot going on with her body. Hormones changes may have her skin going haywire and childbirth changes you down there. Try to incorporate items that alleviate all of these changes. She will thank you greatly for the ice pads!
2. Spa or nail salon coupons and gift cards – Check Groupon for great deals so that mom can get more bang for her buck when she uses her gift cards.
3. Bring the spa home – Ya girl is tired! Try buying a foot spa for mom to take a load off for all the hard works she does. Pedicures are expensive and mom will not splurge on them nearly as often as she needs them. Eliminate this problem with a foot soak. Try to find Black Friday deals at your local Target or Walmart. Amazon is always a good place to find affordable options daily.
4. Combo – If you really want to win mom over, combine all of these gifts. Use the foot soaking spa as the basket to hold the self care items and gift cards. Throw a good foot soak in with the self care items for bonus points.

Toddler Mom

Toddler mom life comes with a lot of headaches. Raising your baby is a joy no doubt. But Terrible Twos and Threenagers are very real terms for a reason. With all that chasing around a toddler, this mom is looking for time off. Time off cleaning, time off cook, time off everything. Convenience and speed is what will wow this mama. Make her life a little easier with these gifts.

1. Instapot – Not the cheapest item on the list, but there are affordable options. This product reduces her time spent prepping meals and that is invaluable
2. New Diaper Bag – One thing that saves a mom a headache is being prepared for unexpected challenges her toddler will throw at her. This mom is likely potty training (or will be soon) and needs to be prepared for accidents. She also needs to be prepared for the notorious toddler meltdowns with snacks, toys, and distractions. Choose a diaper bag with lots of space, but remember this is a Black millennial mom, so don’t sacrifice style.
3. A Drink – So this one doesn’t save her time, but sanity…indeed. Pick your poison based on what your mom likes. Is it wine? Is it coffee? Choose a nice wine tumbler or coffee mug to say “hey mom, take a moment”. These always come with cute mom sayings and praises so get creative!

Big Kid Mom

This is the prime age to buy gifts for a Black millennial mom. The kids now have an idea of what they want to get mom and that makes it even more special. Depending on the child’s level of activity and whether or not mom is working or stay-at-home, she is likely on the go at all times. Pick ups, drop offs, sports, and more. This mom does it all.

1. Makeup – This mom may have a little more time to herself now that the kids are becoming more independent. Remember these are millennials, we are thee queens of a good beat. Try a palette at Juvia’s and lashes and gloss from Glam Unlimited.
2. Nails – Millennial moms don’t have time to be sitting in someone’s nail salon for hours. The schedule is tight and if we can DIY something for our convenience, we will. Press on nails aren’t what they use to be and look just as good as acrylic now. Try out this Black owned business, Shayla Snapped, for your nail needs.

Adult Kids Mom

This is a no judgment zone. The beginning of the millennial category starts in 1981. It’s not unreasonable to assume some of you teenage and adult kids have millennial moms. We’ve got you covered. This mom has likely received every gift under the sun. The cute homemade gifts are unlikely to impress her at this stage, but we’ve got some ideas to wow this mom. Surprise her by putting some real thought into which items best fit her style and interests.

1. Gift Cards – The gift that stands the test of time. Cash! Gift cards are a timeless gift no matter mom’s age. I prefer cards that can be used anywhere. However, getting a gift card to a specific place shows mom you know her a little.
2. Jewelry – if it’s one thing moms love, it’s jewelry. If there two things mom loves it’s jewelry that shows off how great of a mom she is. Try cute jewelry that says “mom” or has the kids’ birth stones in it.
3. Basket (bath & body, etc.) – Try a gift set from a candle shop or beauty items like bath and body. Check out Body Desire Co. for some handmade candle options.
4. Pots and pans – The older we get, the more we realize the value of gifts like this. I don’t even consider this an old lady gift, more like a blessing. Us millennials didn’t realize how expensive this stuff was until we got out into the real world. This is an awesome big ticket items to get a mom who has everything already.
