Practical & Precious : Gifts for New Mom & Baby

Well here we are, 9 weeks into our first little bundle and loving every minute!  It is unbelievable how fast 9 weeks has gone by!  While being at home with the little moonbeam is so much fun, getting out of the house to run even a tiny errand can be a huge challenge.  I am so thankful to have a husband and family that is a huge help when it comes to the necessities we need-running out to get baby motrin, paper plates, whatever little things may have slipped our mind to buy before baby came.  But of course we love when visitors bring us fun little baby gifts too!  
What about you?  Are a practical gift giver or do you pick out gifts based on their preciousness?  Below are some ideas for gifts for new mom and baby.  Oh, and the practical ones are really pretty precious as well...
One thing a new mom can never have enough of is cute loungewear.  When the probability of you changing out of your nightgown is about 0.5%, it helps when it's at least a cute one.  This caftan  is both stylish and practical, easy to wear when nursing baby!

Another thing I wish I had was some baby stationary.  While I'm totally stocked on your basic "thank you" notes, it would be nice to have a personalized option as well.  And how cute are these mommy play date appointment cards? (Woodland stationary, Robot stationary)

For a mommy who loves luxury, try this Caldrea Laundry Set in Sweet Pea.  It's all natural and smells clean and heavenly.

How adorable are these Babylegs leg warmers?  They come in a variety of patterns for your precious little one.

Little girl?  Try this sweet Maileg bunny and the pea play set.  Any little princess would be lucky to have this charming toy!

Little boy?  How cute is this medieval finger puppet set complete with teeny dragon?  We love toys that are just as fun to display as they are to play with!

Holiday Cheer and Chalkboard Pennant Garland

How has Thanksgiving already come and gone??!!  The past few weeks have been a total whirlwind with many exciting developments:

1. Over the Moon was a hit at Market Noel!

2. We had our big ultrasound appointment and the little one looks all good!  AND...we found out what we are having!  Although, we are keeping that a secret for now....!

3. The in-laws helped us begin setting up the nursery by adding crown molding and putting together the baby bed.

4. We have been thankful and also busy planning for the Paul Meyers Foundation December fundraiser!  We are partnering with About Town magazine to have a holiday party at Avondale Brewery on December 10th.  Please join us!  More info here.

5. The Over The Moon website is up! 

While many of our products are on back-order from the market, we do have a few that are ready to ship.  My favorite?  This School Days Pennant, of course!
How cute is this fabric chalkboard garland?  Just like chalkboard, it's reusable for any occasion!

The kit comes with three different ribbons-glitter gold, glitter green, and hot pink velvet-as well as assorted chalks and 18  adjustable pennants, enough to spell out pretty much any message!  Most people think this is a great idea for kids (they could virtually make a new message for each day), but I must say, it's pretty fun for adults too...

We heard so many great ideas of how to use this banner from our customers at Market Noel-having children hold it in the holiday card photo, using it to welcome a specific group of people to your restaurant or church, writing romantic messages to your husband on your anniversary (or just any ole day), draping it over the chair your baby is propped in for his or her " X-Months-Old" photos, and TONS more!  Basically, it's just a really fun and functional gift.

I'm using mine in my nursery!  It's a sweet reminder each time I walk by of how our baby will be here so soon!
As you can see from the above instagram photo, the nursery is still in progress!  Follow Over the Moon on Instagram to see how it develops!  And also to get some sneak peeks at our upcoming projects and events!

Happy Thursday!

Mother's Day Gift

Mother's Day is right around the corner...eek!  Have you found a gift yet?  I won't lie, my own mother is rather picky (sorry mom) and her house is also totally stocked, so finding a gift can be a challenge!  Sometimes a small token is the best, but if you're looking for something unique and fun, here are some great ideas!
