A maternity hamper is a gift for the woman, not the nursery. Sent in the third trimester, on the first day of maternity leave, or into a hospital bag, our maternity hampers gather the things that make the last stretch of pregnancy feel a little gentler — nourishing skincare for changing skin, soft cotton to rest in, calming rituals for the long evenings, and small indulgences that are hers alone. Each hamper is hand-curated in Brisbane and delivered Australia-wide, wrapped with our signature dried lavender accent and a complimentary personalised card.
What goes into a maternity hamper. Our maternity hampers are built around the third trimester and the weeks that follow. Expect nourishing belly and body oils, gentle cleansers suited to pregnancy-sensitive skin, soft organic cotton pieces, a calming lavender ritual for restless nights, and a considered treat or two for the mother-to-be. Where a baby gift celebrates the arrival, a maternity hamper acknowledges the person doing the work — which is exactly why it lands so well as a maternity leave gift or a hospital-bag send-off.
Maternity leave and hospital-bag gifting. The two most-loved moments to send a maternity hamper are the last day of work and the week before the due date. For maternity leave, we can time delivery to arrive at the office on her final morning — a gesture that reads far warmer than a card passed around the team. For hospital bags, we recommend sending two to three weeks before the due date so everything can be packed and ready. Our concierge can coordinate either.

A maternity hamper is a curated gift box for an expectant mother rather than the baby. It typically contains pregnancy-safe skincare, comfort items like soft cotton pieces, calming rituals for rest, and small indulgences — chosen to support her through the third trimester and early recovery.
A maternity hamper is one of the most-loved maternity leave gifts because it centres the mother rather than the nursery. Delivered to the office on her final day or to her home that week, it works equally well as an individual gift or a group gift from a team, with everyone's names on one personalised card.
The two best moments are the last day of maternity leave and roughly two to three weeks before the due date, so the contents can go into the hospital bag. Sending earlier in the third trimester also works well — the skincare and comfort items are used throughout, not just at the birth.
Most individual maternity gifts sit between A$180 and A$350, while group gifts from a workplace or extended family commonly range from A$400 to A$1,400. Monet's collection spans all of these tiers, so you can match the hamper to your relationship with the expectant mother.
