Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.
1. Beautiful empowerment cards designed specifically to support new moms through their postpartum phase and beyond. The cards will provide sweet reminders like, "I give myself permission to rest" and "I ride the waves of change."
2. A soy candle to let 'em know just how ~lit~ they already are even on their first go-round with motherhood.
3. Or a DIY candle kit for whenever they have some personal time to set aside to get creative and light up their space.
4. Plus a rose gold rechargeable electric lighter that'll spark up that candle immediately without worrying about being low on fluid needed to get the vibes right!
5. An affirming wine tumbler that'll show an ~outpouring~ of love for first-time moms who have now stepped into foster parenting or have recently adopted a child. Also, this tumbler's customizable!
6. A stylish diaper bag backpack that'll also — SUPRISE! — turn into a changing station. Move over Marvel because this Transformer is the real superhero. Plus, it's cute AND under $50?!
7. Plus, waterproof diaper bag inserts to make the inside of a baby bag one less messy place in their life.
8. Personalized initial earrings worth treating moms to in the ~name~ of their total awesomeness.
9. A Marc Jacobs fragrance so their daily scent isn't all baby powder, formula, and (sometimes) throw-up lol. It'll be one small way to make a fragrance-loving mama smile throughout the day with sporadic whiffs and a subtle reminder that even when they've been in mommy mode and haven't left the house in a few days — they're still fabulous.
10. A haircare system to address thinning, damaged hair — a kind way to provide a mom (who's soon to give or recently gave birth) with something to help address postpartum shedding.
11. A cute T-shirt or two since it's totally possible to walk around the crib, mommying it up, and looking low-key put-together just because. Of course, the I'm-a-mom-so-sometimes-there-are-stains-on-my-shirt moments will happen, but it may still be dope to start the day with some semblance of a cute and comfy outfit.
12. And! Stain remover to pair with one of those really cute tees as a this-is-a-gag-gift-but-not-really-because-you'll-thank-me-later add-on.
13. A pillow wedge that'll give a beloved baby bumper some form of comfort when laying down. Listen, sometimes and for some mamas, it really won't matter how they turn or what they use. For others though? Just a single pillow to caress the belly will make things even a little bit easier for sleeping. Treat 'em!
14. Or A full-body pregnancy pillow purposefully shaped to follow the natural curve of a pregnant person to provide more cushion all the way around.
15. A diaper wipe warmer so they'll never (OK, rarely!) endure the piercing howl-cry that erupts from an infant who isn't at all here for a freezing cold butt during changing time.
16. A simple yet chic keychain to send a kind message to a new mom you adore that'll really stick with them daily.
17. A ReadeREST so that tracking down eyeglasses can finally be pushed completely off of their (always growing, always changing, kinda like kids) to-do list.
18. A mug warmer so their cup of joe will always be ready to go. This way, they'll never be defeated by those long periods of fleeting sleep because coffee — WARM, not lukewarm — will be to the rescue.
19. Hypoallergenic disposable diapers because anyone with a baby will always need A TON OF these. Upgrade the "gift" feel of such a practical pick by treating mama to a whole subscription and have 'em delivered regularly to the house (they'll be cheaper that way too)! 🎁
20. Nipple butter meant to soothe sore, breastfeeding nipples, heal cracks, and prevent them.
21. Maternity leggings since lots of moms will tell you that different pants start to feel uncomfy, even in the earlier pregnancy stages when they aren't showing as much. Go ahead and treat a first-timer to this comfort situation that'll stretch as the bump does.
22. A baby and object thermometer for mom to keep on hand to temperature-check the baby and the bottles.
23. Pretty PJs so mama gets to sleep in style. Sure, anything a new parent wears could get soiled with spit-up, juice, or whatever but that doesn't mean they don't deserve to be in pretty loungewear when they choose. Luxury is for everyone and mamas deserve it the most, no?
24. An adorable gift box set with everything from comfy socks to fancy candles that'll def win you the title of "Best Gift Giver" this Mother's Day (or any day, really).
25. A customizable rose necklace to give moms something sparkly and beautiful to celebrate them ~blossoming~ into such an important role in life. Perf way to gift a flower that won't wilt, too. 😏🌹
26. A soothing cool-down gel that'll relieve tired, sore muscles that may come with walking a baby to sleep or whatever else. Every mom deserves to take a chill pill (or gel!).
27. Or reusable hot or cold rice packs from Beloved Packs to bring comfort to pained or tense areas on the body that could use more TLC.
28. Peepee teepees for new moms of infants that'll spray the literal fountain of youth into their faces. Many moms'll tell ya that every parent should experience that flood at least once as a sorta rite of passage. But when that gets old (like, immediately, LOL?) — enter these adorable covers so they can change the baby in peace.
29. Cozy-schmozy Mama Bear slippers to shuffle around the house in — and hopefully, kick up their feet in too.
30. A curated baby gift box that'll take all the work out of pulling something nice together for a new mama. It'll come with a onesie, soothing oil for parents and babies, and a wooden toy camera just for decoration in the nursery.
31. Birkinstock slide sandals – they'll be perfect for the upcoming spring season because a) They're friggin' CUTE and b) They've got an arch-conforming design that a comfort-first mom will prob appreciate a ton.
32. Satin pillowcases to zhuzh up mama's bedroom decor by day and help minimize any hair breakage and dryness during beauty rest by night. Two birds. One stone. Or should I say, two pillowcases, one amazing surprise gift?
33. An automatic vacuum cleaner because *sometimes* when a new baby enters the picture, all the energy and time for chores heads right on out. Here's a machine that'll at least handle the floors after the baby takeover.
34. An adjustable bamboo bathtub tray that'll prop up food, drinks, tablets, books, hopes, dreams, and whatever else mom will need for a soak sesh. With this, mom won't be getting up for a minute. Throw in a cutesy DND sign too because that's the kinda time that should be spent with this baby.
35. The "In Courage Journal" by Alex Elle so they can stay as committed to their self-care journey as they can — even if that means their self-care routine now looks different with an extra person in the house to care for.
36. A eucalyptus bundle that'll hang from their shower head and create a dreamy, Pinterest-worthy aesthetic. It'll transform shower time into a deeply relaxing spa experience, which is ideal for when mommy mode means there's not much time for a sit-down bath.
37. An attachable wine aerator so a vino-loving mom can get the perfect glass of tasty, aromatic wine straight from the bottle with a single pour. No more letting it sit to aerate. Perf way for a mom who recently gave birth to enjoy their first glass of wine. : )
38. And wine, ofc! A bottle of rosé from the McBride Sisters Collection will pair well with whatever meal in whatever season. Translation: It's wine o'clock as soon as it arrives and mama's ready to indulge again. : )
39. The Echo Dot with Alexa built-in to do convenient things like turn the lights out or lull a lil' one to sleep with soft nature sounds on command. Lol, there will def be times when mom'll wanna say, "Alexa, change the baby's diaper" but honey, that is not Alexa's ministry. 🤣
40. A 3-in-1 baby poncho so moms never have to think too hard about how they'll tote the baby around on a busy, chilly day. This thing'll hold their precious bundle like a pouch in front of them but could also adapt to strollers and car seats. Come through flexibility!
41. Silicone bibs! Those cloth ones are real cute until a mom looks up and realizes laundry is being done way too regularly. These'll be wipe-and-go and they can be used for several years. Their heart will thank you every time these things wipe clean with minimal effort.
42. Kai hypoallergenic body buffer sponges to upgrade bath time. They're filled with a light blend of exotic perfumes so mom can wrap up a bath smelling like a fresh bouquet of flowers.
43. A Lavinso Foot Exfoliation Mask to give the ultimate at-home pedicure and massage. It'll strip layers and layers of dead skin and calluses from them — perf for a first-time mom that's always on her feet and often short on self-care spa time.
44. A 52-page memory book because baby won't be that small forever. This'll help new parents capture every single moment, including all the sweet firsts they'll experience as they grow. So many reviewers noted how simple and easy to fill out this book was compared to others they tried.
45. A Snugapuppy bouncer to encourage the first-timers to actually put the baby down sometimes, take a moment, and let the bouncer do some of the work. Mom'll be doing the shoulder bounce upon realizing that the baby actually might love being in this thing.
46. A sentimental clay baby handprint and footprint photo frame kit that can be treasured for years and years to come.
47. A set of aromatherapy shower steamers to seriously upgrade any bathroom and help ~wash away~ worries and stress.
48. Or a handy scalp massager because they're in desperate need of a little R&R but don't have the time to go to the spa. This little gadget will give them a massage while they shampoo their hair, killing two birds with one stone and getting them back to their newborn ASAP.

Promising review: "This is just what I wanted! Great for scalp massage. I wanted a product that would not pull my hair, and did not have hard, plastic, seams, to pull or damage my hair. This is it! Very relaxing, to use. It is light, and comfortable to hold. I don't have to worry about straining my hands trying to grip this. I can control the amount of pressure perfectly without scratching my scalp. I bought one for my mom and two for me! Love these. Great gift, for the natural hair enthusiast, or anyone looking for a non-motorized scalp massager." –BunnyLove2
