Celebrating Mother's Day [1] for the first time as a mom is a whole new experience, and one that should be commemorated in a very special way. While there are all sorts of gifts out there, you want to go the extra mile for a new mom [2]. The overwhelming love a woman feels when she becomes a mother is amazing, but the exhaustion is also very real [3]. So even something that may seem trivial, like a new coffeemaker, can make her feel appreciated and understood. Here are 16 thoughtful gifts to make the new mom [4] in your life feel loved.
Personalized First Mother's Day Frame
Receiving a gift with baby's name, like a Personalized First Mother's Day Frame [5] ($23), is a special way to commemorate the occasion.
Mom Ring Dish
Mom may oftentimes find herself taking off her jewelry to bathe or lotion up the new baby. Give her a place to put her rings with a Mom Ring Dish [6] ($8).
Custom Photo Collage
Creating a Mom Photo Collage [7] ($30, originally $35) is a great way to capture and display all of a mom's special moments with her new baby.
Diffuser
Adding calming scents like lavender to an Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser/Humidifier [8] ($109) will help a mom relax in any room she chooses to plug it in!
Meal Delivery Kit
Let's be honest, the last thing a new mom is thinking about is getting to the grocery store, cooking, or doing dishes. Subscribing to a meal delivery kit, like this one from Sun Basket [9] ($80-$240), is a huge help in getting some much-needed sustenance into the house!
Coffeemaker
It's no secret that first-time-moms can get a bit sleep-deprived. Gifting a mom with a Keurig Coffeemaker [10] ($130) will let her know you appreciate the time she's spending up with the baby and you'll do whatever you can to help keep her eyes open during regular waking hours.
New Mom Wine Labels
New Mom Wine Labels [11] ($16+) are a fun way to help a mom celebrate the first-year milestones, which include mommy's first night out without the baby and baby's first public meltdown (because we all know mommy needs a glass of wine after that one!).
Trendy Diaper Bag
The days of carrying cute purses and designer bags don't have to be over when you have a baby, so show a mom she can still feel stylish with a Be Prepared Diaper Tote [12] ($200).
New Makeup
She might not be able to remember the last time she got all dolled up for a night out, so a new Naked Smoky Eyeshadow Palette [13] ($25, originally $54) might just be the thing a mom needs for the first Mother's Day [14] date night you've planned.
Cool Mom Mug
She's not a regular mom, she's a cool mom. Show her you're well aware of her status with this I'm a Cool Mom Mug Set [15] ($25, originally $65).
Polaroid Camera
There's no way a mom is taking time out from snuggling the new baby to print all the pictures she's been taking with her phone. Gift her the ease of instantly printing those adorable baby photos with a Polaroid Camera [16] ($71, originally $139).
Personalized Bar Necklace
These Personalized Bar Necklaces [17] ($34+, originally $42+) can be carved with the baby's name or birth date, so she can always have them close to her heart.
Baby Book
Let her capture all of baby's firsts with a simple Baby's First Year Book [18] ($35) that she can fill out.
Spa Gift Set
If she can't find the time to make it to a spa appointment between feeding, changing, and otherwise caring for the baby, an At-Home Spa Kit [19] ($61+, originally $72+) is a great alternative for some well-deserved pampering.
Sonogram Frame
Maybe the special woman in your life is still growing the one who will promote her to the "Mommy" title. A Sonogram Photo Frame [20] ($10, originally $20) is a great way to celebrate this mommy-to-be.
Fun Workout Gear
Getting rid of the baby weight is in the back of most new moms' minds. A Mommy Workout Shirt [21] ($27+) can make the task a little more fun.
