Mother’s Day Gifts for New Moms
A new mom’s first Mother’s Day is unlike any other. It’s a milestone that deserves to be commemorated with a thoughtful gift that reminds her why she chose to become a mother in the first place.
Personalized Jewelry
Jewelry is a beautiful way to honor motherhood, and thanks to Etsy, it’s easier than ever to gift a completely personalized piece. You might go for a necklace with the baby’s birthstone and flower, a cuff bracelet with their name and birth stats, or keep it simple with a “Mama” nameplate necklace.
Kodak wireless photo printer
Parenting means taking all the pictures. But, too often, photos wind up taking up phone space and little else. Give a new mom the gift of printing any photo with ease — even on the go — with a Kodak wireless instant photo printer. She’ll be able to print directly from her smartphone or tablet and then go back to creating more photo-worthy memories.
Framed candid photo
This is one of my personal favorites that has a huge return on the impact. Posed photography is great, but a candid photo of a mother and her baby is truly one of a kind. If you don’t have one that you’ve snapped yourself, ask her partner, parents, or another close friend for a frame-worthy candid picture.
Hair or nail salon gift card
It’s easy to put off self-care when you’re a new mom, so remind her that she’s just as important as her baby with a gift card she can use at her favorite hair or nail salon. Top off the gift by offering to babysit or be a helping hand while she’s getting pampered — she’ll so appreciate the thoughtful gift.
DIY hand and footprint kit
Babies grow so fast it feels impossible to soak them in before they’re fitting into the next size up. While we can’t do anything to stop time, we can help a new mom preserve it with a DIY hand and footprint kit. The final product is an adorable, hangable display of the clay molds or ink prints.
Mother’s Day Gifts for Seasoned Moms
Once a mom has gotten into her groove as a parent — perhaps even welcomed more kids to the family — it’s important to remind her to treat herself. These gifts are all about taking care of the woman who also happens to be a mom.
Bathtub caddy
Nothing says “me time” like a luxurious bubble bath. This bamboo bathtub caddy is the creme de la creme of bathtime accessories because it has a built-in wine glass holder, collapsible book or tablet stand, and plenty of room for everything a mom needs to soak and relax.
Travel jewelry organizer
A mom with a few Mother’s Days under her belt will probably have quite a bit of jewelry representing her children and growing family. Give her somewhere safe to stow it when she’s traveling this Mother’s Day with a travel jewelry case that has a compartment for everything.
Self-heating coffee mug and warmer
You’ve probably seen warming coffee coasters, but have you ever seen a coaster that charges a self-warming mug? It’s no secret that a busy mom is perpetually guilty of leaving her coffee mug to cool before she can get to it, which makes this an essential Mother’s Day gift for any mom.
Revlon one-step hair dryer
When your hair looks great, you feel great — even if you’re running errands in jeans and a t-shirt. The Revlon one-step hair dryer with a brush barrel is an absolute game-changer. It literally takes me 15 minutes to give myself an at-home blowout with this dryer, and I know any mom would love unwrapping one this Mother’s Day.
Satin bedding
If you haven’t heard, satin bedding has some serious benefits: It keeps hair and skin smooth throughout the night, is hypoallergenic and cooling, and is downright comfortable to sleep in. I’d say that’s a Mother’s Day gift trifecta!
Mother’s Day Gifts for New Grandmothers
Transitioning from motherhood to grandmotherhood is a beautiful experience, and it brings a whole new perspective to parenting and family. These Mother’s Day gifts will make any new grandmother feel special, loved, and appreciated.
Fancy hand cream
The internet has spoken, and La Mer hand cream is the go-to if you’re looking for a product that leaves skin feeling ultra-smooth and nourished. This tube is the perfect size to keep in a purse or in the car for whenever she needs a little extra pampering.
Ninja Creami
It’s a scientific fact that grandmothers are natural caretakers, and with a Ninja Creami, the new grandmother in your life will have even more opportunities to treat their loved ones. Whether she’s making a baby-friendly smoothie or fresh ice cream for older kiddos, she’ll be a pro at whipping up frozen treats in no time!
Printed calendar with family photos
What’s better than a framed photo? A whole year’s worth of family snapshots! With Walmart, it’s easy to select your favorite photos from the last year and turn them into a wall or desk calendar. It’s a Mother’s Day gift any grandmother — new or seasoned — would cherish.
Fresh flowers
Whenever someone tells me they don’t want a gift or that they really don’t need anything, my mind automatically goes to flowers. If you decide to give a new grandmother a beautiful bouquet, make sure you put them in a vase she can keep using in the years to come.
Cashmere socks
If you’re looking for a Mother’s Day gift for a grandma who’s all about comfort, grab a set of cashmere socks. This pack of six pairs will keep her feet warm and cozy, sheathed in the ultimate comfort fabric. What’s not to love?
Mother’s Day Gifts for Mother Figures
Not all moms are biological. When they say it takes a village, they mean it! This Mother’s Day, make sure to honor any of the mother figures who have supported you. It may seem like a small gesture to you, but for her, it means the world.
Rose quartz eye mask
Rose quartz is a natural conductor of positive energy. This rose quartz eye mask is a great way to show your love and appreciation for the mother figure(s) in your life. It serves double duty as a de-stressor and de-puffer that wakes up the face and combats screen fatigue.
Yoga mat
There are few things more relaxing and recharging than a good yoga class — and a solid yoga mat can make all the difference. Whether mom’s headed to the studio or getting in a quick session at home, this Diane Von Furstenberg collaboration will inspire her to push further.
Wine stones
Mother’s Day means that summer is right around the corner, which also means sipping crisp wines in the great outdoors. A set of wine stones is a gorgeous way to keep white and rosé wines chilled without any watering down!
Jolie filtered showerhead
This is another product that I can personally attest to. When we switched to the Jolie filtered shower head, we almost instantly noticed an improvement in our hair and skin. With an easy-to-change filter and a sleek aesthetic, it’s a gift any woman in your life will appreciate this Mother’s Day.
Cricut machine
Got a mom or mother figure who loves to DIY? The Cricut Joy cutting and writing machine truly does it all. She’ll be able to create custom decals, stickers, cards, and labels in a snap — it really is a Mother’s Day gift that keeps on giving!
Gifts for mom
No matter what gift you choose for your mom, grandmother, or mother figure, the most important thing is that you choose it with love and intention. Pair it with a sweet and sentimental card, and you’ve got yourself a perfect bundle that shows just how special she is to you. Happy Mother’s Day to all Moms out there, no matter what title you answer to.
