New moms are used to marking milestones. From the first giggle to the first step, first-time moms are constantly celebrating their new bundle of joy's achievements. If you know a new mom, make sure she doesn't forget another important inaugural event: her first Mother's Day.
In this selection of great gift ideas for someone's first Mother's Day, you'll find a perfect pairing of practical and sentimental products. Some—like the “survival kit” and quirky coffee cups—assist new moms as they navigate through their sleep-deprived schedules. Others—like the thumbprint pendant and family portrait—make the holiday as personal as possible. And some—including a handprint picture frame kit and keepsake library—make it easier for moms to immortalize their babies' most memorable moments. There are even practical gifts for the postpartum period, like a stylish crossbody bag that doubles as a diaper bag with a changing pad.
Motherhood can be all-encompassing, and so it's easy for the new mama in your life to forget how important it is to take care of herself. That's why we've also included some thoughtful self-care items. These include monthly subscription boxes full of goodies as well as spa essentials for some much-needed rest and relaxation.
In addition to the new mom in your life, make sure you also celebrate your own! Getting the best Mother's Day gift is easier than ever with our curated gift guides. Make your mom's day with a homemade creation or other creative gifts for Mother's Day.
These thoughtful gifts are the perfect way to celebrate new moms on their first Mother's Day.
