FTM gifts

I’m starting a job as a newborn photographer, and I want to bring my clients little gifts for mom and baby- what are some ideas that new moms would appreciate?

What about something that would be a momento from the photo shoot? Example, matching Mama & baby bows (or bowtie). I'm thinking of something small that you know photographs well & won't cost you a ton but will be nice for them to remember every time they use it.

Maybe a picture frame for baby’s room for one of the newborn photos. Honestly if the baby is under a month old I loved getting food from people since I barely had time to make meals even if it’s just healthy snacks like granola bars or something like that. Board books are a great idea as mentioned or a pretty baby blanket that they can use in the photoshoot and keep after. You could also gift them with one of those chalkboards or blankets that track baby each month that people use in photos. Again this could be a great prop and something that Mom could continue to use each month as baby grows.

Tiny bottles of alcohol. No joke. If you’re breastfeeding you can’t have a whole bottle of wine by yourself, so a tiny drink is nice.Bath bombs or face masks. Things like nuts, dried fruit, etc for easy snacking. The baby most likely has enough stuff. But the things that people a few people got my that I really appreciated was rattles or easy baby toys, and baby books!

I always loved getting board books. In my opinion babies/kids can never have too many books. I didn’t like blankets or stuffed animals because I got far too many. And I didn’t like baby wash, diapers or wipes because my son has sensitive skin uses certain ones.

My sister got us a subscription to bookroo, they send three books a month. Baby is only 3.5 months old but it’s already too many 😄 at least at this time he prefers when we read the same couple of books over and over again ....

A personized keepsake frame for them to keep one of your photos from the session in. Maybe keychain size to hang on the diaper bag.

Lotion? Something consumable since most people have so much stuff, I don’t know what I’d do with another blanket or book or toy ... I also like the frame idea.

Could you design and print a cute scrapbook page? That might be inexpensive and works with your photos...
