Babies are cute, but new moms deserve some attention, too. From baby showers to the fourth trimester, babies tend to get most of the gifts. With that in mind, this holiday gift guide is all about the moms! It’s filled with a mix of practical, personal, and just plain fun presents for new moms and moms-to-be. Think delicate, personalized jewelry, meal delivery kits, splurge-worthy registry items, and self-care essentials to help her take some well-deserved time for herself.
I personally love sending thoughtful gifts to my friends and family members as they enter their new mom era. It’s such a joyous time that’s also filled with feelings of overwhelm and lots of emotions, so picking out a present that I know will be both useful and appreciated is always a fun task for me.
Whether she just brought a new little one into the world or recently received the good news that she’s going to be a mom, this list is full of items she’s sure to thank you for. Gifts for the new baby will be aplenty, so treat her to something special—and officially welcome her into the motherhood club—with pregnancy gifts including a ‘Cool Moms Club’ crewneck sweater or maternity loungewear set. Or pamper her with postpartum favorites like an at-home spa set and a coffee mug (that will actually keep her coffee warm) for her much-needed caffeine breaks.
This up-and-coming diaper bag brand delivers a sleek, functional design that makes carrying a hundred baby items a hundred times more convenient. It features a dual-compartment design with a built-in divider shelf, access to the bottom through the front zipper, comes with multiple accessories, and even a laptop sleeve. If it’s not already on her wishlist, she’ll be thankful you added it under the tree.
This isn’t your average baby carrier—it’s the cashmere sweater of carriers. The Nuna CUDL Lux combines cashmere-silk blend fabric to keep both mom and baby cozy year-round, four carrying positions, and an ergonomic design that grows with her toddler. Bonus: The magnetic buckle practically does the work for her—because she already has her hands full.
For the new or soon-to-be mom, this high-quality, heirloom-worthy locket can be engraved on the inside or out with a special message or their sweet baby’s name.
Early morning wake-up calls for a mug that will keep her coffee or tea warm (for up to 6 hours!). She’ll thank you for this one—no more reheating her drink over and over again! Plus, the charging station doubles as a phone charger.
Between baby snuggles and sleepless nights, every new or expecting mom deserves a little comfort. This festive care package delivers it all—delicious soup, soft rolls, cookies, and a cozy throw to get her through the winter. It’s equal parts thoughtful and delicious.
A new product from Hatch, this sound and light machine for babies comes with the ability to real-time chat with certified sleep consultants—a perfect gift for a new parent (and baby)!
As a new parent, sleep is a priceless treasure. The Hatch Restore is one of the only wake up rituals that treats sleep like the hot commodity it is—a gentle sunrise alarm helps you stir, the dim clock keeps her room pitch black even in the morning, and the sleep sounds help you stay in REM.
Who knew a nursing cover could be chic and luxurious? This cashmere nursing shawl can be easily stored in her purse and will look like just another part of her outfit for the day.
Serving as both a comfy top to wear while running errands and a reminder of just how awesome it is to raise a little human being, this embroidered crewneck is a staple for all the (cool) moms out there.
The ultimate hydration essential is this easy-to-lug-around water bottle. No spills, no hassle, and a tried-and-true, mom-approved favorite.
When her hands are full, make her life easier with a chic cell phone wristlet. Now, she’ll never lose her phone (IYKYK)!
Slip into mule sneakers—the perfect mom-shoe that’s stylish and comfy. It’s a pair that will elevate her attire in this season of life.
Hospital ready: It’s the perfect hospital bag to use when welcoming the newest addition to the family. She can use it on her babymoon, too!
From diapers to snacks to baby toys, this pouch set is an ultimate must-have for getting organized with a baby.
This hot new baby item has been the fourth-trimester MVP for The Everymom Managing Editor, Julia. Wash and sterilize bottles in one easy step!
After a long day of raising humans, the last thing moms want to do is cook an elaborate dinner. That’s where this cookbook full of simple recipes comes to the rescue—it’s ideal for “busy people who love good food.”
Including several extra-virgin olive oils and fruit-infused vinegars, this set will complete her kitchen and make cooking after a long day simpler.
This is a gift new moms will treasure well into the teen years. Getting the whole house on the same page is tough, but the Skylight calendar helps with smart features like color coding, chore charts, and custom lists (read our full review here). This will make the mental load easy to divide and conquer—something we can all appreciate.
The social media hype is real—for the baby who is quite literally glued to her side, the tush baby is all she will need.
This game-changing smart bouncer is at the top of a new mom’s wishlist. This cozy baby seat transitions into a bassinet without having to move her baby if they fall asleep.
Like walking on a cloud, give her the comfiest shoes to keep at the bedside as she enters her mom era. These casual clogs are durable and comfortable for a new mom who needs them the most.
This buttery soft Skims pajama set is a mom-favorite uniform she’ll love to stay in all day long. Plus, it’s nursing-friendly, too!
Say “bye-bye” to tired eyes. These eye masks are one of my auto-buy products—a burst of hydration to make her feel refreshed.
For an expecting mom, compression socks are a great gift to give as she gets into her second and third trimester. With a luxury pair, her feet will be thankful for this thoughtful gift this season.
Sleep might just be the most sought-after gift during pregnancy and new parenthood, so make it more comfortable with this supportive pregnancy pillow developed by three chiropractors (and moms!). Trust us, and read our raving review here.
Just like a weekend getaway to a spa, gift her a self-care set right at home that includes a claw clip, face roller, and more.
If her phone is filled with hundreds of baby pics, she’s not alone. There are never enough photos of a cute baby! Capture every moment with this easy-to-use camera that will snap family photos and record every baby milestone. She can make memories and cherish them forever.
Give her an amazing listening experience with Beats noise-cancelling earbuds. Whether she’s listening to music, listening to an audiobook, or calling friends and family, these comfortable earbuds will keep her hands-free throughout the day. With active noise cancelling and transparency mode features, she can easily choose how much she needs to block out the noise.
Photo albums are the time capsules of our childhoods, and this Story of You baby book takes that magic to another level. Interactive prompts and pockets for every milestone will have you looking back on this album for years to come.
A candle smells even better with a cheeky label. It’s true—it really does smell like she’s going to be an amazing mom!
Healing postpartum is a highly personal experience, but this trio skin care set can help with her postpartum recovery. From restorative scar treatment to nipple cream, it’ll be one of her most used products in her fourth trimester.
This five-minute morning routine from Merit will be her go-to makeup kit. It has everything she needs to start her day and includes mascara, contour, blush, and more.
We’ve all been there—desperately trying to stuff all of our belongings into a crowded and stained makeup bag we’ve had for far too long. But stress no more: the EACHY travel bag is made with several waterproof pockets, to stay organized and clean for a weekend away.
Give her the easiest blowout look with Sleepy Tie’s nighttime scrunchie. An effortless look for any mom to start her day with ease.
Jotting down her favorite memories and reflecting on motherhood is self-care, too. With pages that include spaces for affirmations and goal setting, this gift is a thoughtful one to give a new mom in your life.
