The Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide For Mamas And Mamas To Be

Let us know in the comments what your putting on your wish list this year!
Holiday gifts for mamas and mamas-to-be: Sleep & relaxation
Mamas and mamas-to-be are usually in need of a good night’s sleep. Here are our top 2 picks to help them do just that:
1. A weighted blanket
Weighted blankets are therapeutic blankets that usually weigh between 5 and 30 pounds. The pressure from the extra weight mimics a therapeutic technique called deep pressure stimulation — several studies have found that weighted blankets do in fact improve sleep, reduce insomnia, and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.
We’re loving Aeyla’s weighted blankets. We recommend The Mela Weighted Blanket, designed to take away stress and combat insomnia.
2. Twinings Superblends Sleep Tea
Twinings Superblends Sleep Tea is the perfect stocking filler for any mama or mama-to-be! It combines camomile, passionflowers, apple, and vanilla flavorings — you can drink it just before your head hits the pillow.
