I know everybody loves the arrival of a new baby. It’s truly a blessed event. Those big, beautiful eyes. Those fat, chubby cheeks. That sweet everything that makes you want to eat them up and cover them with kisses from head to toe. We can’t resist oohing and aahing over the bundle of joy. When it’s all said and done, most babies end up having more clothes, gifts, and gadgets than both parents combined. The little princess or prince has a wardrobe fit for royalty.

So, today, we’re only focusing on the new mom. Let’s show her some extra tender loving care. She needs to know that she hasn’t been forgotten. She needs to know that somewhere someone still cares about HER.

After all she has gone through, she may feel like she walked through Hell and back for her precious baby sent from Heaven. Oh, yeah, I remember the “ring of fire” and it was no cakewalk. Mommy, I feel you. I’m out here fighting for you. Nobody puts new Mommy in the corner. 

Nothing beats a gift basket or box. A whole bunch of goodness. No matter how old I get, gift baskets remind me of those glorious Easter baskets from my childhood.

Milky Chic You Got This Mom Gift Box (On Amazon) 

It’s not a basket, but this gift box is the perfect way to show you’re thinking of the new mom. Full of goodies, it includes an inspirational candle, a silk sleep mask, and postpartum healing tea to help new mommies relax.

3-in-1 Postpartum Belly Support Recovery Wrap  (On Amazon)

Great body shaper! This belt comes in three sizes and seven colors. It’s exactly what new moms need for helping everything go back in place. It offers great after-birth support for the belly and back, especially for moms who underwent a C-section. 

Bella B Pregnancy & Beyond Starter Kit (On Amazon)

This set includes Tummy Honey Butter, Tummy Honey Cream, Nipple Nurture Butter, Breast Wipes, and moisturizing body cream. The products are free of parabens, mineral oil, and lanolin. No animals were tested and everything is natural and organic. Women love the light scent and how soft it makes their skin feel. This gift is useful and thoughtful.

Bearsland Women's Maternity Nursing Breastfeeding Hoodie with Pockets (On Amazon)

This stylish hoodie is soft, warm, and comfy. The flattering design makes it easy to discreetly nurse in public or double pump. Most people who love this hoodie buy multiple colors. The company offers at least 18 colors.

Frida Mom 2-in-1 Postpartum Perineal Ice Pads (On Amazon)

Reduces swelling and speeds healing. Instant cooling, medicated with witch hazel. These instant pads offer full coverage and provide quick relief to tears. Greater quality than the ones they give in the hospital. 

Pink Stork Postpartum Bundle (Mood Support Capsules and Recovery Tea) (On Amazon)

Packed with raspberry leaf, Ashwagandha and other vitamins and nutrients, this bundle was made to support a woman’s postpartum immune system and recovery. This gift really focuses on your whole well-being. Great for lifting the mood and energy levels. One review called this item the “MVP for postpartum recovery.”

Mama Tote Bag (on Amazon)

This bag would work for so many things. It’d make a great shopper, weekend bag, beach bag, or gym bag. It has a main interior compartment, plus one for your phone, and closes with a snap. Makes a great go-bag to help new moms get out the door fast. Here’s another idea: fill this tote with a new mom’s favorite snacks, a book, a journal, and other goodies. She’ll love it.

Cleverfy Shower Steamers (Aromatherapy Bombs) (On Amazon)

With a new baby, maybe those long, luxuriating baths are out of the question for a while. Try these instead. Turn even a 5-minute shower into a relaxing moment. This comes with 4 different aromatherapy scents made with essential oils. The lavender relaxes and eases stress. The cocoa/orange enhances concentration. The grapefruit refreshes. The ginger and orange energizes.

Enesco You Are So Loved Coffee Mug (On Amazon)

This pink 16-oz mug is dishwasher and microwave safe. It’s perfect for that favorite cup of coffee, cocoa, or tea. It ships in a decorative box. This mug is so cute. It could become a favorite.

Kindred Bravely Tulip Hem Maternity & Nursing Pajamas (On Amazon)

Ladies can never have too many pajamas. I LOVE pajamas- the softer the better. These have a stretchy waistband making them comfortable across the belly, which makes these wonderful after a C-section.  

These 10 are all gifts I would've enjoyed receiving after I had brought my babies home. When you’re searching for the perfect gift for a baby shower, don’t forget a sweet gift that’s just for the new mom. She’ll definitely feel special and that’s exactly what you want, right?

Blessings and love,
