Shopping for presents is always a challenge, but it's even trickier when you're looking for gifts for new moms. On one hand, you want to get her something practical and functional to help her with the adjustment to parenthood. On the other hand, you want to encourage an overtired new mom to kick back, relax, and rejuvenate.
So, we polled experts: moms. We asked our readers for the best gifts they’ve received (or wished they had received) as a first-time mother and rounded up the best options. We also conducted our own research and spoke to Karen Reardanz of Babylist for expert tips on how to shop for new moms.
“It’s always nice to get something for a new mom that is for them, not the baby, no matter the season,” Reardanz says. Our readers agree that while “new mom gifts” are often centered around the baby, finding gifts for the mom herself is just as important. “You can’t go wrong with more elevated items that will keep her comfortable or have her feeling pampered while caring for her young baby,” Reardanz says.
