Dear Reader,

When my third child was born, my dear friend Susan gave me an unexpected gift: some pretty, feminine underwear. With it was a note that said something along the lines of: “This is a reminder that you’ll feel like yourself again before you know it.”

I may have forgotten exactly what the note said, but I’ve never forgotten how that gift made me feel. I felt loved and encouraged and grateful. I felt seen. Susan acknowledged one of the hard parts of giving birth, and reminded me it would end. By buying a gift for me instead of just the baby, she let me know that she was there for me.

Giving your daughter or daughter-in-law a gift to let her know you are there for her is an amazing way to support and nurture your relationship. But if you are like me, it’s hard to know what would be the perfect gift for an expectant or new mom. After all, giving your daughter-in-law underwear, no matter how pretty, might not go over so well.

That’s why I was so excited when I found out about Nurtured 9. They create luxury gift boxes for new and expectant mothers, and they are truly special. Each one comes beautifully wrapped with thoughtful details, so Mama will feel pampered and loved. They have a selection of signature boxes with carefully curated items, or you can choose your own items to personalize your gift.

Can you think of a better way to celebrate a new grandchild than by thanking their mother with a gift just for her? Especially one that acknowledges that having a baby is hard, and that she deserves to be pampered.

I’ve chosen my favorite boxes and Nurtured 9 created a special one for More Than Grand readers. The gift boxes contain full-size, high-quality, and classically beautiful gifts that are safe for pregnant and nursing moms. As luxurious as these products are, you can create a gift to fit any budget. Right now, you can save 10% with code MORETHANGRAND. Go check them out now!​

I talk all the time about how important it is to prioritize your relationship with your grandchild’s parents. Even if you understand and regularly practice that, doing something extra and unexpected makes it clear how much you mean it.

Warm regards,
DeeDee

P.S. I’ve never forgotten that gift from Susan, even though I haven’t seen her in over 25 years. But even from a distance, she’s been there for me. She’s one of the early supporters of More Than Grand, and usually reads these emails. Thank you, Susan!

Thanks for reading! If you found this valuable, please forward it to a friend!
