Looking for a unique gift for the new mom in your life? Between all the baby clothes, toys and baby gear, what about a little something for the mom? With all the sleepless nights the new mom is about to endure, this ‘Motherhood Survival Kit’ could make her day a whole lot doable. Being a mom myself, I know I would have loved to receive these items to help with the early stages of motherhood.

I am always looking for unique gift ideas for any occasion. I love coming up with creative things to give my friends for their happy occasions. I use mason jars for so many things around my house so I thought what a cool idea to change up your typical gift basket and give a gift in a jar!

Motherhood Survival Kit in a Jar 

The first thing you will need is a jar. I bought this one from Hobby Lobby for $8.

Instead of using a sticker label, I used chalk paint to paint a section on the jar and then with a chalk marker I wrote ‘Motherhood Survival Kit.’ For a detailed tutorial on how to make the label and what chalk paint I used, check out THIS DIY POST

Here is what I put into the jar. I was able to get everything from Target.

• Bamboobies Nursing Pads
• Lansinoh Nipple Cream
• Milkmakers Lactation Cookie Bites
• Chewing Gum
• Hand Lotion
• Face Sheet Mask
• Burt’s Bees Chapstick
• Makeup Remover Wipes
• Mini Bath Bombs

I thought this was such an easy and useful gift idea for a new mom. The friend I gave it to absolutely LOVED it so it was definitely a win!
