Few people have more on their plate than a new mom after giving birth, between feedings in the middle of the night, the apparently never-ending dirty diapers, and taking care of her own wellbeing. Therefore, it stands to reason that Christmas gifts for new moms would facilitate the adjustment to motherhood as well as encourage rest, leisure, and self-care—which, let's face it, she needs.
But here's the thing: Her entire existence revolves on that adorable newborn child, so despite how kind a spa card might be, odds are she won't be quite ready to leave her kid with someone else for the day. She's likely received enough onesies, burp towels, and bottles to last well through the toddler years, despite the fact that baby-focused s might seem like the simplest—and possibly most obvious—route. Check out the things Katy Perry suggested when shopping for Gayle's favorite daughter and new mother Kirby, if she hasn't already.
Instead, we advise looking for items that will make her new job title easier when buying for a first-time mom or a new mom-to-be, whether it's for Mother's Day, her birthday, a baby shower, or just because. Consider luxuries like a cozy weighted blanket or stylish bath salts, as well as items that make life easier like the Instant Pot and highly practical items like the temperature-controlled coffee cup, all of which go well in a lovely basket. Of course, a personalized piece of jewelry that will keep her young child close by is perfect . Here are some of the best Christmas s for new moms that will make her special day even more special.
