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 take time to rejuvenate.

To come up with these recommendations, we thoroughly researched gift ideas for new moms and rounded up the best options. We also 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,” says Reardanz. And it makes sense, because new parents probably have enough onesies, burp cloths, and bottles from their baby shower to last them a long time. But something like a monthly subscription for audiobooks will help her maintain her pre-parenthood interests, even if she doesn’t have time to sit down with a physical book for a few hours.

Consider giving new moms presents that promote rest, relaxation, and self-care, like a cozy robe, face mask, or eye gels. “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. Another foolproof idea is a personalized gift—like a framed print or photo book—so she can cherish those first memories of motherhood for years to come.
