This is a celebration that's just as much about you as it is about your baby, so allow yourself gifts that will truly make you happy!
Fed up with piles of bodysuits, endless fluff and multiple copies of the same giraffe toy? We're giving you the chance to shake up your baby registry and treat yourself (and indirectly your baby too!). This is a celebration for you just as much as for your baby, so give yourself permission to ask for gifts that will truly make you happy!
Did you know?
We talk about a "changing baby shower gift list" but it should go without saying that gifts for you as the mother you now are should be just as important.
Capturing the moments
With a photo shoot to capture the memory of these wonderful moments in your life. This is the end of 9 months of pregnancy — 9 months in which you created a new life. These moments are unique and deserve to be immortalised. You could ask your loved ones to gift you a photo shoot with a photographer whose work inspires you.
Once the photo shoot is over, you can put together a photo album to preserve those precious memories. At Jolly Mama, we love the ones from Atelier Rosemood.
Atelier Rosemood is a Nantes-based studio specialising in the creation and printing of beautiful birth announcements and photo albums for all of life's happy family milestones (birth, wedding, anniversary, wishes...). TheAtelier Rosemood offers the finest quality to their customers, across all their products. Their ethos? Making beautiful things that do good!

When you return home, you will need to find comfort in your own cocoon with your family. You will likely spend a great deal of time with your baby, as they will need a lot of attention. Make the most of the support around you by asking loved ones to bring you nourishing, warm, comforting meals (broths, soups, stews, and potages).
There are now also many postpartum home catering services that can bring you warm, comforting meals tailored to the postpartum period — a thoughtful and delicious gift idea!
Take care mama
A birth wish list doesn't have to be all about your baby.
A moment of relaxation and calm
Your baby will demand a great deal of attention and energy, you will face many emotions (stress, joy, anger…), and your nights may not be as restful as you'd like… Faced with all of this, you may find yourself longing for a moment of relaxation where you can truly let go. And what better way than a massage? Whether alone or with your baby, a massage can help you unwind and do you the world of good.
There are professionals who specialise in post-birth massage — do make sure you find a treatment that's right for you!
After giving birth, you may have questions about how to get back into shape, start exercising and so on. First and foremost, your doctor's approval will be the first step towards beginning this recovery. If you're not sure where to start, a special postpartum fitness subscription offered by a loved one could help you ease back into activity gently.
Where to find it? At Studio Témé and Holi Mama, for example!

A fitness pack
Because getting back to yourself is not just physical — it's inner work too. You will need to replenish yourself, as some of your reserves will have been heavily drawn upon.
At Jolly Mama we look after you until the very last moment, even in the post-partum! Our post-partum packs offer you comfort, remineralisation and warmth. With our range of collagen food supplement, incredibly indulgent: a raw cacao powder, a caffeine-free coffee-flavoured powder — everything to delight them. And our spread with over 50% hazelnuts, impossible to resist! A pack that's also ideal as a gift for gift for pregnant woman. You can also offer her support for her body, with our post partum food supplement rich in vitamins and minerals, with an extract for emotional wellbeing.
Conclusion
A birth list doesn't have to be all about your baby. Allow yourself gifts that will bring you pleasure too, because you will also need comfort and relaxation after these 9 months of pregnancy and the birth. There is talk of "birth gift lists that make a difference," but it should go without saying that gifts for the mother you now are should be perfectly natural. Dare to listen to your own desires when putting your list together!
