Finding the perfect Mother's Day gifts is hard enough, but for her first Mother's Day? You're looking at an even bigger challenge. After all, the new moms in your life are in need of even more love, more support, and more pampering right now—to put it lightly. They're undoubtedly exhausted, overwhelmed with new responsibilities, and in need of some serious R&R or at least an epic Mother's Day brunch spread.

Good news: This list is packed with excellent ideas for every type of new mom out there, including functional baby slings and necklaces and a few hilarious finds too (think: cheeky "New Mom Wine Labels" featuring milestones she can raise a glass to). Ree Drummond's favorite cookbook makes an appearance here, as does a gift card to order meal kit service to make life easier. There are also tons of cozy gifts to keep her warm and toasty. Who wouldn't want a pair of ultra-fluffy pink slippers or a fabulous new set of PJs?

You can also grab super sentimental gifts like a customized watercolor painting of a mom and baby or a journal to jot down memories. Remember, at the end of the day, what new moms really want is your love and understanding, plain and simple—which means you can't go wrong if you're gifting with good intentions. As Ree would say, "It's about the sweet, sweet gesture." So go ahead and grab a gift, write a card with a lovely Mother's Day message, and see just how much she'll love it.
