The time a new mom spends with her baby is something she’ll cherish forever. But as she’s learning how to manage her responsibilities, it’s important for her to take time for herself. That’s why it’s a good idea to gift her something that can help her relax, feel pampered and nourished, and remember that she isn’t alone in this crazy new world.
A One-of-a-Kind Photo Journal
Give a new mom a way to capture her memories of her newborn’s first year with this adorable book. The foil-stamped linen cover of this high-end keepsake is designed with inclusive prompts, like “What is your favorite place to snuggle?” and “How do you make others smile when they see you?” That means she can easily record the little things that happened as her kiddo grew and developed throughout the course of his or her first year. Once the book is completed, she’ll have an instant keepsake to look back on, and it will serve as a wonderful reminder of all the love and joy that she’s shared with her family.
Personalized Jewelry
If she’s a jewelry lover, consider giving her a special piece that celebrates her new role as a mom. For example, a necklace with her baby’s name on it would make a perfect Mother’s Day gift. Or she could wear a “mom” ring to remind her of all the hard work she’s put in to becoming a mother and the new responsibilities she’s taking on.
A Reusable Eye Mask
A sleep-deprived new mom can sometimes feel stressed out, so a mask that’s going to be used again and again is a great way to show her how much you care. These reusable options from Dieux Skin are designed to fit perfectly on her face and hold eye care products at the ideal distance for maximum absorption. The set also comes with a pillowcase, so she can use it every night without having to worry about the fabric slipping off her face.
Cozy Robes
Wrapping up in a cozy robe makes late-night feeding sessions (and morning ones) much easier for a new mom. A robe made with Portuguese cotton flannel is perfect for that, but you can also get one that’s personalized with her initials for a small fee.
Coffee subscriptions
If she’s a coffee lover, gift her a monthly box from Mistobox, which features a different variety of roast and includes four fresh cups. Or, for something extra special, give her a cold-brew coffee maker that can be prepped the night before so she has coffee on hand when she wakes up in the morning.
Flowers
She’ll need fresh, beautiful blooms during her fourth trimester. Whether she’s getting ready for a big event or just looking to cheer up, a floral arrangement will make her smile. These eco-friendly arrangements come from farms that minimize waste and recycle water, so she can feel better about the environment as she takes on this new responsibility.
