9 first Mother's Day gifts to get for the new mama in your life

For first-time moms, Mother’s Day takes on a whole new meaning. It’s no longer just a day when they celebrate their own mothers, it becomes a holiday that celebrates them. If your friend, sibling, or co-worker is celebrating their first Mother’s Day, you’ll want to choose a gift carefully. You have a lot to consider while shopping this spring because shopping for the mother of an infant isn’t the same thing as shopping for your own mom.

Not only is a mom’s first Mother’s Day special for sentimental reasons, but it’s also happening during her first year as a mother, which likely isn’t the most restful year of her life. In fact, there’s a good chance that the new mother in your life is a little overwhelmed and very exhausted.

With all of that in mind, here are nine first Mother’s Day gifts you can give to the new mom in your life.
