The 64 Best Gifts for New Moms (1)

Shopping for presents is always a challenge, but it's even trickier when you're looking for gifts for new moms. On one hand, you want to get her something practical and functional to help her with the adjustment to parenthood. On the other hand, you want to encourage an overtired new mom to kick back, relax, and take time to rejuvenate.

To come up with these recommendations, we thoroughly researched gift ideas for new moms and rounded up the best options. We also spoke to Karen Reardanz of Babylist for expert tips on how to shop for new moms.

“It’s always nice to get something for a new mom that is for them, not the baby, no matter the season,” says Reardanz. And it makes sense, because new parents probably have enough onesies, burp cloths, and bottles from their baby shower to last them a long time. But something like a monthly subscription for audiobooks will help her maintain her pre-parenthood interests, even if she doesn’t have time to sit down with a physical book for a few hours.

Consider giving new moms presents that promote rest, relaxation, and self-care, like a cozy robe, face mask, or eye gels. “You can’t go wrong with more elevated items that will keep her comfortable or have her feeling pampered while caring for her young baby,” Reardanz says.Another foolproof idea is a personalized gift—like a framed print or photo book—so she can cherish those first memories of motherhood for years to come.

For new moms, holding their baby while carrying other essentials can be challenging. This carrier offers a stylish way to simplify the process, all while alleviating strain on her back. It offers four carry positions to keep her little one comfortable and provides five storage pockets and a hideable bottle holder. Pediatricians and chiropractors recommend the device for its back support and reduction in arm and wrist strain. Bonus: It’s stain-resistant and machine-washable to avoid any baby messes.

This innovative device is a sound machine, nightlight, and audio-only baby monitor all in one. Parents can control it with Amazon Alexa or the smartphone app, and they'll appreciate that it remains useful even as baby gets older: The Hatch Rest+ can also be used as a kid's alarm clock.

New moms are accustomed to having postpartum stretch marks, but this therapeutic belly oil will moisturize her skin and help reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

Plus, the quick-drying formula will never leave her feeling greasy, allowing her to put clothes on immediately afterward without any stickiness.

Questions You Might Ask

How do you pamper a new mother?

According to Karen Reardanz of Babylist, it’s important to keep in mind that a new mom doesn’t always want the same things as before she was a parent. “There are a lot of logistics involved with leaving the house these days,” she says. But you can use your knowledge of her interests to inspire gifts that are more accessible for her.

“If she loved the spa, are there sheet face masks or a cooling face roller you could get her that’s easy to use while feeding?” says Reardanz. “Is she a soft cheese aficionado but gave them up during pregnancy? How about a special assortment with some crackers and fruit? Celebrate who she is during this new time of her life.”

What can you give a new mom for herself?

Elevated loungewear and cozy throw blankets are just two ideas of things you can give to a new mom for herself. “A support pillow or silk pillowcase can be nice during late-night feeding sessions,” says Reardanz. “Food deliveries, like Jeni’s ice cream for a sweet tooth or a hometown favorite from Goldbelly, can be a fun treat.” She also suggests getting her an assortment of teas or a mug that keeps her drinks hot (like the Ember Mug 2).

We also love the idea of getting new mothers personalized gifts. “If they’re a jewelry person, a special piece that commemorates their new baby (like a mom bracelet or necklace with baby’s name or initials) is thoughtful,” Reardanz adds.

Should you get a new mom gifts for the baby?

Reardanz emphasizes that you should only give new moms gifts for the baby if you know they really want or need something. “Like if they’ve said how much they wish they would have gotten a baby carrier to keep their hands free, or their baby doesn’t like the bouncer they got and they wish they could go back and register for a swing so they could have a few moments to themselves,” she says.
