Self-Care Gifts to Pamper New Moms This Holiday Season

Few people have more on their plate than a new mom. And with that in mind, it makes sense that the best holiday gifts for new moms keep her sane and help her feel relaxed.

But here's the thing: Her world orbits around that precious newborn baby, and as generous as a spa gift card may be, chances are she's not quite ready to leave her child in the hands of someone else for the day. When checking a new mom off of your holiday list, look for pampering gifts that help make her new job title easier. And if you really want to get something trendy for a new mom, there's tons of cool choices that aren't for the baby—a relaxing diffuser, a comforting weighted blanket, skin-saving serums, comfy pajama short sets, or even a pretty personalized necklace (a great choice from a husband—hint, hint!).

Bottom line: When it comes to useful and unique gift ideas for a new mom's (or a mom-to-be's!) first Christmas with baby, stick to gadgets and little luxuries she can indulge in after birth right from the comfort of her own home.
