These Lavender-Scented Microwaveable Slippers Are Perfect For Any New Mom

There are two days an expectant mama looks toward during her pregnancy: The day her baby is born (finally!) and her first Mother's Day. Yep, don't underestimate how special that holiday is to a new member of the Mommy Club. It's a celebration of her journey creating another life—and an excuse to rack up some thoughtful gifts, too. Even if it's not her first child, she'll still look forward to enjoying the day with the newest member of her family.

So, don't slack. The new mom in your life has probably thrown around a couple of hints, so you might already have a present in mind, but if you don't, shopping for a new mom isn't exactly rocket science. Just think about what she could use a little more of: self-care, diapers, cute storage boxes for her babies' things. See, it's not hard!

If she wants something to keep photos of her baby's cutest moments, get her a customized baby board book and pre-prep it with photos of her closest friends and fam. Is she always on her feet? A new mom will fall in love with these cozy fuzzy slippers she can warm up by throwing in the microwave.

And if you’re into making gifts extra thoughtful, then go for a personalized keepsake box. You're sure to score the honor of best Mother’s Day gift giver with one of these (figurative) babies.
