Heartfelt reminder
The first year as a parent can be hard. Gift a heartfelt reminder to the new mom in your life from MantraBand for Mother’s Day, she’ll love it! Choose from engraved affirmations, messages, and words of encouragement from a variety of bracelets and necklaces to let her know she’s enough, she’s strong, she can do hard things, and that she makes the world a better place.
Matching pajamas
Comfortable clothes are always a great gift but organic matching PJs are especially sweet for a new mom’s first Mother’s Day. MORI’s matching family pajama sets are sentimental, soft, adorable, and available in Mama, Papa, Bro, and Sis.
New gear
Help the new mom in your life avoid the overwhelm that comes with transitioning from who she was to who she is now with this thoughtful gift idea — a vegan leather purse that’s just for mom’s things, no baby stuff allowed. Kedzie’s beautiful assortment of vegan leather crossbody purses and interchangeable straps (Amazon affiliate) suit any outfit and adventure. Add a homemade card inside with a coupon for a massage or “me time.” to complete the gift.
Massage Oil
Another thoughtful gift idea for a new mom on her first Mother’s Day is Tubby Todd’s Baby Massage Oil with our Navigating Nurturing Touch on-demand infant massage course. Not only is infant massage a great way for new moms to bond with their baby but if offers tools to support parents in learning to understand and communicate with their baby. Not to mention, it can help calm everyone down and improve sleep.
Fluffy comfort
If the new mom you’re shopping for is a soft blanket person, she’s going to love the PediPocket Blanket — it has a pocket for your feet so they’re never sticking out or cold! It’s like this blanket was created for new moms spending countless hours up at night on the couch.
