Mother's Day: the real gifts to give

1 - 12-hour nights

We're not going to lie to each other, sleep takes a hell of a toll with the arrival of a baby. Who has never dreamed of finding the off button to sleep for 12 hours in one go? For Mother's Day, order a night without an alarm from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m.

Our suggestion: a Le Petit Lucas du Tertre plaid or La Cerise sur le Gâteau sheets for sweet dreams in organic cotton.

2 - Free time vouchers

As much as we love our children, we also need to have time just for ourselves. A Netflix evening, an afternoon of reading, a solo morning... This break is equivalent to a tactical recharge of the batteries to find them even better later.

3 - A weekend with girlfriends

In the same way that we don't work on Labor Day, we would see ourselves without children on Mother's Day. On the program: SPA and a glass of champagne with a group of friends for a weekend. Also works with a lover.

4 - A pre-Mother's Day

Is Junior still warm in your tummy? No problem. Some women feel like a mother as soon as they are tested for pregnancy. Celebrate your new status whenever you want.

Our suggestion: a Jolibump maternity garment, to be worn before, during and after these 9 months.

5 - Breakfast in bed

As long as it is like in advertising. With toddlers who jump around laughing, sandwiches that don't leave crumbs (after that scratches) and coffee that doesn't spill. The children would give you a bouquet of flowers and a beautiful piece of jewelry. After all, you sacrificed your perineum for them anyway!

Our suggestion: a Thea Jewelry ring to drink your tea with unmistakable elegance.

6 - A breast-friend ally

If you are breastfeeding, you know the hassle of clothes that are neither pretty nor practical and that can no longer be seen in paint after these few months. The solution to these problems now has a name, Tajine Banane. Whether you're breastfeeding or not, add timeless pieces or seasonal pieces to your list.

7 - A beautiful design object

Because you have lovingly designed the decor of your home and it is unthinkable that an ugly plastic thing would ruin it all, even with the arrival of a baby.

Our suggestion: the LEVO deckchair by Charlie Crane that will please mom, dad and baby. Three in one. Who says better?

8 - A skin-to-skin headband

A skin-to-skin headband to fill up on cuddles from the first days, then a baby carrier to stay tight for as long as possible. You will think back to it with nostalgia on their 16th birthday.

Our suggestion: a Studio Romeo skin-to-skin headband.

9 - A chef at home

Because you are tired of racking your brains three times a day. Is Pierre Gagnaire not free? Never mind! Fall back on Popote, which is more accessible and fits in a handbag (unlike Pierre). The ideal companion to concoct culinary wonders in no time.

10 - A personalized piece of jewelry with your first name

After all, it happens to forget your child's first name, right? Ok not really... But because it's the most beautiful thing (and sometimes the most difficult) you've ever done, it's worth writing your sweet first name or any other word that reminds you of that unexpected strength that is motherhood on a ring or bracelet #forever #mum #love. (Variant: a tattoo).

Our suggestion: Atelier Paulin jewelry.

11 - A photo shoot

Like many parents, sometimes you want to press pause so your children don't grow up too quickly. Bad news: this feature doesn't exist. Good news: photos are a very effective B solution. To add to your list, therefore, a family photo session with a photographer who will be able to capture these moments to transform them into eternal memories.

Our suggestion: trust the sublime Bertille Pics.
