The 45 Best Gifts for New Moms to Receive This Mother’s Day

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission.

Mother’s Day is extraordinary for every mom and mother figure but is especially monumental for those celebrating it for the first time this May 8. The best gifts for new moms are a great way to honor those freshly embarking upon the journey of motherhood. Foremost, of course, there’s so much joy in welcoming life into the world for the first time. Never before has she experienced the intoxicating love a newborn brings — nor has she ever felt as exhausted from carrying, delivering and caring for that little one. It’s why this exciting time can also feel overwhelming as preparation to-do lists and the new responsibilities of tending to an infant quickly feel daunting. So, while the best gifts for her are undoubtedly a treat and adorable and practical baby items are crucial, new moms deserve a little more. Self-care indulgences from beauty and wellness products to spa gifts for pampering and relaxation make for fantastic first Mother’s Day gift ideas to help rejuvenate her spirit. She’ll also appreciate other extravagances like luxury bathrobes, sentimental jewelry or slippers to help her feel her best as she navigates the uncharted territories of motherhood.

The different types of gifts to give a new mom this Mother’s Day

  • Trendy and cool gifts for moms: Luxury items and tech-savvy gifts take on a different meaning for new moms. Of course, you can never fail with a designer handbag (perhaps a designer tote bag as a chicer approach to the diaper bag), a glow-enhancing skin care set or a cashmere sweater. But what she really needs right now are more practical items, like a smart crib, baby monitor, electric breast pump or phone stand for the stroller (trust, these are very well received). And for herself, deep tissue massagers make for a restorative gift to soothe her sore, aching body. Likewise for a microcurrent, anti-aging face massager or LED light therapy mask

  • Creative and unique gifts for new moms: For the mom to be or new mom who has everything, think outside the box with custom gifts like a new mom gift basket including soothing salves and candles, a monogram coffee mug or blanket or custom jewelry including the name, birthstone or birth flower of her newborn.

  • Thoughtful and sentimental gifts: Personalized gifts for mom are a great way to show your thoughtfulness, like photo gifts of her new family or a customized onesie for the little one that’ll melt her heart. Baby books and journals make for thoughtful gifts for new moms where they can document their pregnancy and delivery, pour out their new mom emotions or write a letter to their new baby to cherish later in life. As for first-time Mother’s Day gifts from husbands? He can’t go wrong with special jewelry gifts for mom that she’ll have forever, especially pieces celebrating the new baby’s birth month, date or name. 

  • Spa gifts for mom: When shopping for relaxing gifts for mom online, beauty and wellness products to create an at-home spa atmosphere are a winning choice for the “me time” she deserves. These always make for winning gifts for the mom who doesn’t want anything — once that luxurious moisturizer, body cream, bath soak or face mask is at her fingertips, she’ll thank you. 

  • Simple Mother’s Day gifts: Sometimes, it’s the little things that’ll make a new mom’s day, like a set of silk scrunchies to keep her hair back as she’s multitasking or an intoxicating candle to transcend the mood of her (presumably) disorderly kitchen or living room. Even a decorative accent, such as a cute storage basket to stow her new mom or baby essentials, will bring a smile to her face. And, of course, how could she not love a new cozy sweatshirt or ribbed pair of postpartum pants to keep her comfortable as she moms so hard at home?

Last-minute Mother’s Day gift ideas

When shopping for last-minute gifts for moms any time of year or for Mother’s Day, there are plenty of options to ensure thoughtfulness. First, of course, Amazon’s two-day Prime member shipping solutions make gifts purchased in a short time window seem quite easy. You can shop for everything from luxury beauty products and gift baskets to tech-savvy items like an Echo dot, which new moms can most certainly use when their hands are constantly full. Or, you can buy extra chargers to have around the house, since her electronics are surely drained from using newborn apps for feedings and baby monitoring and playing lullabies.

New-mom essentials also make for great last-minute new mom gifts, even if they don’t seem all that exciting. She’ll appreciate postpartum items like nursing bras and comfortable loungewear (hello, leggings), nourishing snacks for breastfeeding or unanticipated baby extras like a pack of diapers and wipes or onesies, burp cloths, bottles and pacifiers. And if baby is really giving her trouble at night, you can, indeed, Amazon Prime her the ultimate in tech-savvy baby bassinets — the Snoo

Gift cards for experiences or services also make for great last-minute Mother’s Day gifts. Treat her to a massage, blowout or mani/pedi to rejuvenate her mind and spirit or a virtual consultation with lactation and sleep training experts if she’s seeking extra parenting guidance. The gift of not cooking is another good one via a food service delivery or UberEats gift card. The best part: You can buy many of these on Amazon or from other major retailers like Target, Best Buy and local grocery stores. If you’re stressed about gifting something too specific, go the ever-versatile Visa, Amex or Amazon gift card route.
