Local Gift Guide for Moms and Babies
Kentucky has no shortage of awesome gifts for new moms and their kids.
Check out our favorite gift ideas this year. (Bonus- all these businesses are owned by Kentucky moms!)
Born At Home Toys
These toys are made by hand using materials any mom can feel safe about- sustainable, local wood sources, bio-based paint, and non-toxic finishes and glues.
Born At Home offers a variety of age-appropriate toys for your family. Order some teethers for your baby, farm animals for your toddler, or the Under the Moon fishing set for your preschooler!
Prices vary by piece, visit bornathometoys.etsy.com
Mommy Pouch
“Minimize and Organize” is a motto that all moms can get on board with. The Mommy Pouch is a handy bag that fits just the essentials and then snaps on the handle of your stroller or diaper bag.
Instead of lugging a huge bag around for short trips, throw in a diaper, wipes, your cell phone and wallet, and be on your way! Several colors are available to match your own Mommy-style.
$14.99 each, visit mommypouch.com
Posh Pushers
Childbirth may not feel like the most glamorous time for a new mom, but she can still look great in one of these unique labor gowns. Posh Pushers come in several colors, patterns and even have a monogram option so mom can feel pretty and comfortable in her own gown when baby arrives.
These gowns were designed by labor and delivery nurses, so they are functional for a hospital birth with easy IV and epidural access and shoulder snaps for breastfeeding and Kangaroo Care.
$49 & up, visit poshpushers.com
June Kayte Boutique
This online boutique features hair accessories for newborns all the way up to adults. We especially love the UK-themed gear for even the youngest of Wildcat fans!
June Kayte offers headbands, bows, clips and hair ties in adorable patterns and styles. Follow the boutique on Instagram for a special 10% off coupon (instagram.com/junekayteboutique).
$4-$6 per piece, visit junekayteboutique.etsy.com
Sassa Bella
This company’s commitment to purity makes their body care products ideal for a pampering gift basket. Sassa Bella uses high quality, fresh ingredients that are sourced close to home to reduce environmental impact.
You can find a full line of body care products for the whole family- from baby, to mom and dad, to even your animals. Check them out soon to snag some seasonal Christmas soaps! Shop online or find a local retailer through their website.

Baby Dreams Maternity Concierge
Instead of a run-of-the-mill baby registry item, consider a professional planning session as a gift for an expectant mom. Baby Dreams offers doula services, and birth and new baby planning to help parents prepare for a new arrival.
Their “Bump to Baby Prep Package” includes newborn care, breastfeeding basics, meal planning, introducing baby to a pet, baby proofing your home, and much more.
Packages vary in cost, visit babydreamsmc.com.
Fit4Mom Lexington
Forget the gym and consider joining Fit4Mom before and after the birth of your baby. This local fitness group is for moms only and welcomes small children to come along for the ride. The class format helps members meet other moms and connect while staying in shape.
Experienced class leaders offer a full body workout, designed for all fitness levels. Start during pregnancy and continue as long as your child can ride buckled up in the stroller.
Class packages vary in cost, visit lexington.fit4mom.com.
