Why you should give a gift for mom
Gifts for new moms that aren’ for baby are a simple way to say ‘we see you too!’
Pregnant moms get lots of attention with gender reveal parties, baby showers and strangers on the street opening doors for you as you cutely waddle on into a store. Â But once baby comes you aren’t the first thing people see. Â
People see the baby and new moms quickly feel like “old news.”
A little gift just for mom and not for baby are a small way to brighten her day.

If you’re looking for a Push Present I have a whole post on all the rules, how much to spend and when to give it. Â Â Check it out here.
If you’re looking for something a little simpler these finds from Etsy are beautiful and unique (just like mama!)
Necklace
This necklace comes with a lovely note that can be customized to include your partner’s name. Â Â
Ring
My husband gave me a stackable rose gold ring when my daughter was born and I wear it inbetween my wedding ring and engagement ring.
It ties into the rhyme ‘first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage.’ I love my ring and its a wonderful reminder of our life pre and post baby.
From family and friends (coworker appropriate too!)
These new mom gifts are small enough to bring the hospital or to bring over when you visit the new mama and her baby.
Mama Sweatshirt
I live in my Mama sweatshirt. Â It’s a way to be trendy while recovering from birth. Comfy and a bit loose.
Weighted blanket
Sleep is so so so important for new moms and of course they don’t get much of it. Weighted blankets can help them fall asleep quickly and deeply to get the best rest possible.
Postpartum kit
You can make your own postpartum kit or new mom basket with all the essentials they need after birth.

You can also get a little pampering basket all ready
Scrunchies
Babies love to pull moms hair, so scrunchies are a cute way to keep your hair up. And realistically the new mama isn’t going to be washing her hair as often in the beginning so they can make her feel pretty while rocking the greasy hair.
Check out these scrunchies on Amazon
Matching outfits
Technically this one has a gift for baby too, but really its for mom and all the adorable photo opps she can have with her and the baby as they match.

Mama Coffee Mug
New moms run on coffee (or tea). This mama bear mug is so cute!
Water Bottle
New moms needs lot of water for breastfeeding and general health. Its important to bring some water on her stroller walks and this water bottle is perfect for on the go.
Gift Cards
Baby’s are expensive!  A gift card is a nice way to help mom out those first few months.  A grocery store gift card, coffee shop or Amazon cards all are great ideas for new moms.
