With a little human on the way, there's so much to celebrate and be grateful for! Need some help finding your favourite new mama that perfect gift? We know how difficult this can be! Cute prezzies for baby are fun, but she may appreciate it more if you make her feel supported, spoiled and like the star of the show.

What can I buy my Pregnant Partner / Friend / Sister?

When it comes to spoiling your pregnant loved-one, there are fool proof ways to make her feel extra special and truly spoiled.

This way she also gets to enjoy the shopping event herself, making the journey into motherhood a personalized experience. Cherry Melon dresses, jeans, jumpsuits, tops, shorts, PJs, leggings + more – all offer game-changing comfort with the freedom to grow and space to breathe. When the gift is whatever she wants it to be, you've nailed it!

Reviews

‘Great way to treat a special mamma far from home. Love how easy-to-use it was.’

‘Perfect gift for my pregnant daughter in law, she just loved shopping with you.’

2) Cherry Melon Pyjamas:

Unfortunately, we’re all out of sleep vouchers but the next-best thing she needs is the support of comfortable PJ’s, specially created for pregnancy and new-mom life. Made of luxurious, silky-soft fabrics, they’re breathable and stretchy - because everything is better in good pyjamas.

Give her the gift of relaxation where she can spend the entire night in comfort. A well-rested mama is a happy mama. Bonus: She can spend all day in Cherry Melon PJs and still feel put together.

How do I know what size to buy her?

Not sure what size she needs? Sneak into her cupboard and check her sizes. Once you find the number, use our trusty size guide. If she borders two sizes, or if you’re just not sure, we suggest purchasing a size larger, as most people prefer loose fitting sleepwear. Chat with us at hello@cherrymelon.co.za we’d love to guide you through it!

What Style of Pyjamas?

If you have no idea which pyjamas to pick, go with the basics. Classic styles like the Button-Up PJ Sets and Sleep Shirt are beautiful and always work, whether getting some much-needed sleep, lounging at home or packing for the Hospital.

Can she wear Maternity Pyjamas after pregnancy?

Absolutely! The front-button and easy pull-aside PJ tops are perfect for breastfeeding and pumping, and the stretchy waistbands are designed with a flexible fit to support growth and fluctuating postpartum weight. They’re also just next-level comfortable for every stage of her motherhood journey.

Based on reviews like these, you just know that PJ Gifts are going to make her feel like a million bucks!

‘The best maternity PJ sets ever!’ ‘Absolutely love them!’

‘Very comfortable, perfect for post caesarean’

‘The fabric is amazing and I absolutely love the fit!’ ‘Super soft and comfy. Ordering loads more!’

Whether you're indulging her in a shopping spree or providing the ultimate in relaxation with our comfy maternity pyjamas, you're guaranteeing she experiences the best of both worlds. It's the ultimate gesture to express your love and support during this special time.

7) Our Recommendation for First-Time Mamas

If you’ve given birth before, you will know the value of good quality underwear and breast care during the first few weeks postpartum. One of the best gifts you could give a soon-to-be mom is a pack of Breasties.

These are perfect for tender and swollen breasts. A feeding cami and Seamless Feeding Bra are also essentials that make awesome gifts for a special friend.
