Gifts for New Moms
New motherhood is one of the scariest, most exciting journeys that a woman will take in her life!
Any mom will agree that their time as a new mom is one that they will always remember.
Filled with ups and downs, it is a wonderful time in life, but not one that is without stress!
If you are unsure what a new mom needs (or wants!) you have come to the right place. This gift guide is filled with new mom gifts.
From items to help her relax to useful things she will use with her beautiful new baby, we have thought of everything so that you don’t have to!
10 Things to Consider When Browsing Gifts for New Moms
1. Make sure you don’t get her something she already has
While getting any gift is always appreciated, it can be frustrating for new moms if they get 10 of the same item.
Make sure what you are getting her is unique so that she can be sure to enjoy it and get use out of it!
2. It doesn’t have to be a gift for the baby
Of course, it makes sense that you would want to get her a gift that relates to her baby, but it doesn’t have to! She is a new mom, but that is not her entire identity!
Consider getting her something that she can enjoy just for herself.
3. Help her relax
What could be better than this for a new mom? Whether this is an at-home spa set, a luxurious robe or candle, or a nice bottle of wine, the gift of relaxation is something that all moms don’t just want, they need from time to time!
4. Think safety
If you do get her a gift she can use with her newborn, make sure it is safe!
You should avoid any items with small pieces that a baby could accidentally choke on. Make sure the gift is safe for newborns and you are good to go.
5. Shorten her to-do list
There is one thing that all new moms have in common - they are busy. A great gift to get a new mom is something that will make her a little less busy.
That could be something like a gift card for meal service or for a cleaning service that will come clean up the house for her.
Not only is the gift itself great, but it will also give her some much needed free time that she can use for herself!
6. Create the perfect photo-op
Babies grow up so fast. Help her remember how her gorgeous child looks each and every month by getting her a gift that helps with documenting their first year.
Whether that is something like a nice camera or something more affordable like a blanket that features each month that she can use as her backdrop for pictures, there are a lot of options that will help her make sure she doesn’t forget all of these precious moments.
7. Spoil her
New moms don’t put themselves first, but you can do that for them. Buy her that nice robe or new pair of shoes that she has been eyeing for example.
She won’t spend the money on herself, but you can, and you know she deserves it!
8. Get her jewelry, but not just any jewelry
Jewelry is always a great option for women's gifts, but now that she is a mom, you can get the jewelry that reminds her of her child!
Consider getting her a pair of earrings with her child’s birthstone, or a necklace engraved with her child’s name or birthday.
This is a great gift that she is sure to cherish forever and that feels much more special than just any piece of jewelry.
9. Document the moment
We already discussed pictures, but another great gift idea is a journal or scrapbook that a new mom can use to document all of her baby’s firsts.
From their first steps to first words, these are precious memories that any new mom will love looking back on years from now.
Get her a cute journal and encourage her to document these moments. She might think she would never forget them, but in a few years, she just might.
This will ensure she has the memories and that they will last a lifetime!
10. Offer your time
When in doubt, one of the best gifts you can give a new mom is the gift of your time.
Whether you offer to come over and spend time with her and the baby, or step up and offer to babysit so that she can get a few free hours to herself.
Either way, she will greatly appreciate the help or the company!
