Best mothers day gifts for new moms

Between middle-of-the-night feedings, the seemingly never-ending dirty diapers, and taking care of her own well-being, few people have more on their plate than a new mom after birth. So it only makes sense that the best gifts for new moms help make the transition to motherhood more manageable, plus promote rest, relaxation, and self-care.

But here’s the thing: Her world orbits around that precious newborn baby, and as generous as a spa gift card may be, she may not be quite ready to leave her child in the hands of someone else for the day. Not to mention that while baby-focused presents might seem like the most obvious route, she’s probably received enough onesies, burp cloths, and bottles to last well past the toddler years.

So why not shift gears a little? When shopping for a first-time mom or a new mom-to-be—whether for the holidays, her birthday, a baby shower, or just because—we recommend looking for something that’ll help make her new job title easier. Think pampering gifts (like a comforting weighted blanket or trendy bath salts), life-simplifying gadgets (hello, Instant Pot!), and incredibly useful gear (do not miss: the temperature-controlled coffee cup)—all of which work well in a lovely gift basket. And, of course, you can’t go wrong with a personalized piece of jewelry that’ll keep her little one close.

Ahead, we’ve gathered the best gift ideas for a new mom—including a highly-rated stroller organizer on Amazon, a statement-making desk accessory on Etsy, and a delicate necklace that’s the perfect gift from new dads.
