Best gifts for new moms

Design by Tiana Crispino

Is anyone more deserving of a gift than a new mom? We think not. The goal when choosing a present: Look for items that are both practical and functional, yet still special. Think self-care items to help her prioritize herself, cozy loungewear that’s comfortable and stylish, or tech-savvy devices that help make things like pumping and feeding that much easier. Any new mom will appreciate something that’s expertly curated and top-rated. We’ve found personal care items that work—for the postpartum period and beyond.

MUTHA Up All Night Eye Cream

MUTHA Up All Night Eye Cream

Cult Beauty

A couple of dabs of this ultra-popular, best-selling eye cream replete with rice peptides and hyaluronic acid can help soothe tired eyes, and the pearly illuminator of this formula also camouflages dark circles.

What Our Testers Say

“I'm only a few days in … but if things keep going how they are, I'll be obeying MUTHA for a long, long time.” —Amanda Ross, Product Tester

Gentle postpartum pelvic floor exercises can be super effective for new moms when they feel ready. That’s where this very “personal trainer” comes in, a whole new way to do Kegels. It’s easy to insert and syncs up to the Elvie app to lead you through a five-minute series of pelvic floor exercises that can be done discreetly anytime, anywhere.

Price at time of publish: $200

What Our Testers Say

“If you just had a baby and are having a hard time finding time or energy for kegel exercises, the Elvie Trainer is very worth it. This device is easy to use and you can walk around with it inserted while doing your exercises, babbling with your baby, and more.” Leigh Weingus, Product Tester

Parachute Classic Bathrobe

4.8
Parachute Classic Bathrobe

Parachute

There was once a 2,000-person waitlist for this Turkish cotton robe that’s plush and cozy, yet lightweight enough to wear year-round. Design-wise, it boasts two front pockets for holding your lounging essentials, a waist tie for keeping it nicely wrapped, and a shawl collar.

Price at time of publish: $109

What Our Testers Say

"One thing that really stuck out to me about this one was the pockets. I was able to slip my phone into them without worrying about it weighing down the robe and causing unevenness or even causing the robe to fall open, a surprisingly common problem." —Leigh Weingus, Product Tester

Vegamour Gro Hair Serum

Vegamour GRO Hair Serum

Sephora

Postpartum hair loss is a very real thing. Most of the time it’s temporary; this serum is the perfect thing to use until things resolve. Effective for all hair types and textures, it reduces the appearance of thinning and leaves strands looking thicker and fuller thanks to ingredients such as turmeric and red clover, and mung bean extracts. This product legit works and new moms will appreciate that efficiency.

Price at time of publish: $58

What Our Testers Say

“After a few weeks of applying the serum two to three times a week, focusing on my hairline, I was shocked (shocked!) to see fuller hair around my temples.” —Erika Harwood, Byrdie Senior Style Editor

One Love Organics Botanical C Body Oil

4.7
One Love Organics Vitamin C Body Oil

Credo Beauty

An antioxidant-packed body oil that blends papaya enzymes with shea butter for a decadent skin-feel, is a perf treatment for postpartum bodies. Use it on its own to give skin a gorgeous sheen, or mix a few drops in with or under your moisturizer. New moms will also appreciate the easy-to-use, pump-top applicator.

Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2

4.6
Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug

Amazon

Caffeinated beverages are a must for new moms, but being able to drink those bevies while they’re still hot? That’s a true luxury. It seems like Murphy’s Law that the second you pour a cup of coffee or tea, the baby needs something. Enter this smart mug, which can keep drinks hot for up to 1.5 hours, or even all day if you leave it on its coaster base. You can also control it from your smartphone, and it automatically shuts off once it’s empty.

Price at time of publish: $128

Silver Dollar Candle Store Co. You’re a Cool Mom Scented Soy Candle

Silver Dollar Candle Store Co. You’re a Cool Mom Scented Soy Candle

Amazon

Insert obligatory Mean Girls reference here. This handmade candle is sure to make any mama smile and comes in 13 different scents, think options such as fresh linen, birthday cake, and cedar tobacco. We also appreciate that it’s made of clean-burning soy wax and phthalate-free.

Price at time of publish: $25

Birkenstock Arizona Shearling Sandals

Birkenstock Arizona Shearling Sandals

Zappos

When you’re juggling a baby and all of their assorted gear, being able to have your hands-free is invaluable. That means even something as simple as swapping lace-up shoes for slip-ons can be a game-changer. Enter these shearling-lined Birks that couldn’t be easier to take on and off. The fur lining means they’re cozy and warm when worn barefoot, and are even great for colder weather when paired with a sock. 

Price at time of publish: $160

RE/DONE 70s Shearling Clog

RE/DONE 70s Shearling Clog

Saks

This is a luxe gift for the stylish mom looking for instant chic. The leather uppers of the clogs are lined with shearling, all grounded on a natural wood platform with a rubber outsole. 

Price at time of publish: $495

What Our Experts Say

“One of my favorite styles comes from RE/DONE, a nod to clogs of the ‘70s with a retro vibe.” —Tomasi Hill, Designer

Larken Cloudluxe Classic Pajama Set

Larken Cloudluxe Classic Pajama Set

Larken

No matter whether she’s wearing these PJs to bed or just around the house (the latter of which is probably more likely), she won’t want to take them off. Made from a sustainably sourced micro modal fabric, these are silky soft and naturally cooling—and can also be machine washed and dried, a must. The button-down top is great for nursing or pumping accessibility, and the waistband on the pants is nice and stretchy to accommodate post-baby body changes.

Price at time of publish: $98

Mombox Care Kit

Mombox Care Kit

Mombox

There are admittedly plenty of options when it comes to mom-centric subscription boxes, but we think Mombox tops that list for several reasons. Their one-off boxes make amazing gifts; there is an impressive line-up of 17 to choose from, all with varying themes ranging from a C-section recovery kit to a dedicated beauty box. And if none of those strike your fancy you can build your own, choosing from a wide array of specially curated items across all categories.  You can also opt for a three-, six-, or 12-month subscription option if you want to go big. 

Price at time of publish: $99

Bearaby Tree Napper Weighted Blanket

Bearaby Tree Napper Weighted Blanket in Tan

Pottery Barn

Granted, naps may be hard to come by, but when she does have a few precious hours of shut-eye, this weighted blanket will help her feel all the more relaxed. Made from natural eucalyptus fibers, it’s naturally cooling and super soft and comes in two different weights and five sophisticated colors. And even if she can’t use it during a full-on snooze, it’s still perfect to cuddle up with on the couch.

Price at time of publish: from $249 for 15 lb.

aden + anais Mother Earth Organic Cotton Swaddles

aden + anais Mother Earth Organic Cotton Swaddles

Babylist

This may seem more like a gift for baby than mom, but trust us, she’s sure to appreciate these special swaddles. Made of 100% organic cotton, they’re next level soft and breathable and come in sophisticated solid colors as well as cute patterns, without ever veering into cheesy territory. Not to mention besides using them as a swaddle, they can also pull double-duty as nursing shawls, stroller covers, and more.

Price at time of publish: $60

Skip Hop Greenwich Simply Chic Diaper Bag

Skip Hop GREENWICH Simply Chic Diaper Backpack Dusty Rose

Amazon

Nine pockets, a foldable cushioned changing pad, and straps that allow this chic bag to hang on a stroller make this diaper bag ultra-practical. It’s also made from phthalate-free vegan leather so it’s easy to wash clean. But we love how chic it is, and that it doesn’t look like your traditional diaper bag.

Price at time of publish: $110

What Our Editors Say

I absolutely loved this bag and was so grateful to receive it at my baby shower. It was not only super practical for our many on-the-go moments as new mom and baby, but it helped me retain some sense of personal style which was a big deal for me at the time." —Dominique Hobdy, Senior Commerce Editor

Baby Brezza Formula Pro Mini

Baby Brezza Formula Pro Mini

babybreeza

Making a bottle has never been easier. This newbie has the same mixing and warming technology as the original Baby Brezza (which new mamas rave about on Amazon), but in a scaled-down size that’s perfect for small spaces, travel, or to keep on the nightstand for middle-of-the-night feedings. It works with all formulas and bottle types; all you have to do is add the powder and push a button. We affectionately refer to it as a baby Keurig.

Hill House The Ellie Nap Dress

Hill House Home Ellie Nap Dress

Hill House

Believe the hype, this dress is as good as everyone says it is. It’s an especially good fashion find for a new mom; the stretchy material and flowy fit make it comfortable for lounging around the house, while still being stylish enough to wear out. The smocked top is easy to pull down for feeding or pumping, and it comes in an array of colors and patterns, with a little something to fit everyone’s preference. There are even baby versions available for a photo-worthy mommy and me moment.

Everyone talks about prenatal supplements, but postnatal ones are equally important. This OB/GYN-founded brand offers unique supplement packs that target the differing needs for every stage of pregnancy and after. Best of all, they can be ordered via a subscription model so you’ll never run out, and come in convenient daily pill packs. The postnatal option features four essential supplements for new moms: a multi-vitamin, omega DHA and EPA, a beauty blend, and a stress support blend.

Blk & Bold Coffee Subscription

Blk & Bold Coffee Subscription

Blk & Bold

Few things can be as distressing as a sleep-deprived mom going to make a cup of coffee…and realizing there’s none left. After all, a trip to Starbucks isn’t quite as easy as it used to be. That’s why we think a coffee subscription is such a smart gift idea. This BIPOC brand is one of our favorites, offering a variety of yummy roasts in options ranging from whole beans to K-cups.

Price at time of publish: from $14

Charlotte Tilbury Cryo-Recovery Face Mask

Charlotte Tilbury Cryo-Recovery Face Mask

Sephora

A professional facial may not be in the cards for a while, but this is the next best thing. Combining the benefits of both cryotherapy and acupressure, pop this reusable mask in the freezer for 30 minutes then slip it on. It works in just 10 minutes to leave skin looking firmer, smoother, de-puffed, and just generally more refreshed—what tired mom wouldn’t want that? And, since it’s secured with Velcro straps, she can wear it even while taking care of the baby.

Elvie Stride Pump

Elvie Stride Pump

Aeroflow Healthcare

This innovative breast pump truly changes the pumping game. (So much so that Time named it one of the best inventions of 2021.) The hospital-grade pump is hands-free and legitimately portable; the lightweight motor can be hooked onto a waistband or slipped into a pocket. That means it can be worn while she goes for a walk, doing the dishes, changing diapers, you name it. It’s also extremely quiet, making pumping more discreet than ever.

Price at time of publish: $270

We love the idea of personalized jewelry as a new mom gift, and this is a choice, wallet-friendly pick. The gold-plated charm bracelet looks much more expensive than it is, and is also perfect for the mom who is nervous about fine jewelry getting damaged during frequent diaper changes, hand washes, and bathtimes.  It’s also nice and stretchy, ensuring a custom fit.

Price at time of publish: $38

Hello Bello Everywhere Balm

Hello Bello Everywhere Balm

Walmart

This brand—created by Kristen Bell—has all kinds of essential products for mom and baby alike, but this mega multi-tasker is a must-have. (Say that three times fast.) So much so that we even named it one of our all-time favorite moisturizers for dry skin. Made with natural oils—coconut, sunflower, olive—and shea butter, and without any petrolatum or synthetic fragrance, it’s safe for even the most sensitive of skin, perfect for any issues that may pop up for mama or babe.

Price at time of publish: $33

Lunya The Short Robe

Lunya The Short Robe

Nordstrom

A good robe is a new mom staple—easy to throw on and off, great for slipping over PJs when guests pop by unannounced, not to mention something she’s sure to continue to get good use out of even once she’s no longer a “new” mom. This buttery soft, luxe pick earns our vote, not only because of how stylish it is (which it is) but also because of its practical features. Magnetic closure at the neckline and waist belt tie help keep it in place, sleek, close-cut sleeves won’t get in the way during diaper changes or bottle prep, and the pockets are perfect for stashing pacis, your phone, and anything else you need to have on-hand.

Price at time of publish: $198

Katini Skin Collagen Facial Oil

Katini Skin Collagen Facial Oil

Saks

Just a few drops of this (natural, organic, clean) facial oil help to hydrate skin and boost its natural elasticity. Credit ingredients such as wheat dream and vegan squalane, all in a fast-absorbing formula that feels so much more special and luxurious than a basic moisturizer.

Cradlewise Smart Crib

cradlewise smart crib

Cradlewise

There are smart cribs, and then there are really smart cribs — and this one by Cradlewise is surely the latter. It's a crib, bassinet, and baby monitor all in one with some nifty features that are sure to give new moms some peace of mind while their little one rests. In fact, it's the only crib on the market that can help soothe babies back to sleep before they start crying. As for what else it can do, the list is expansive: track sleep patterns, provide white, pink, and brown noise (yes, it's a thing!), send app notifications when baby needs attention, and—most recently—monitor room temperature to make sure it doesn't dip too low or rise too high for both safety and sleep comfort concerns. How cool is that?

Agni The Mama Box

Agni The Mama Box

Agni

At first glance, this just may appear like a snack box, but all of the items inside are curated to help address the needs of women in the fourth trimester. It comes with two kinds of cookies, a seasoning blend, and tea, all of which support things such as breast milk supply, hormonal balance, digestion, restful sleep, and more. Everything is dairy-, gluten-, refined sugar-free, and, as a nice added touch, all of the packaging is compostable or recyclable.

Auvere Initial Stud Earring

Auvere Initial Stud Earring

OneZnality Onesie

OneZnality Onesie

OneZnality

As any new mom will tell you, onesies are a baby wardrobe staple, especially for the first few months. Founder Melissa Jaggernauth created this unique onesie when she realized the basic needed a major upgrade; this one has three adjustable sizing options built-in on the inside to always ensure the perfect fit, is handmade and comes in neutral colors that aren’t cheesy or cutesy.

Price at time of publish: $30

Nest Bedding Sleep Mask

Nest Bedding Sleep Mask

Nest Bedding

Help her make the most of any precious hours—or even minutes, as it may be—of shut-eye with this sleep mask. Not only does it completely block out any sleep-disrupting ambient light, but it will also feel delightful on her skin. It’s made of argan- and aloe-infused 100% mulberry silk, and best of all, can be machine washed. (Because what new mom has time to hand wash anything?)

Kibou Vegan Leather Diaper Belt Bag

Kibou Vegan Leather Diaper Belt Bag

Kibou

You know that mom who is dead set on not letting tons of unnecessary stuff clutter up her house, just because she had a baby? This is the ideal gift for her. Created by two Brooklyn moms, it may look like a simple fanny pack on the outside—but offers so much more. There’s a detachable changing pad that pops out from the back flap, a built-in waterproof pocket to hold wipes, a pacifier hook, and credit card and cash slots. It’s also big enough to stash a bottle, sunglasses, your phone… you get the picture. Made of vegan leather, it both looks stylish and is easy to wipe clean, and comes in an array of eight colors.

Price at time of publish: $98

What Our Editors Say

“Fanny packs are my vibe—the fact that this one doubles as a diaper bag, mind blown. The card slots are really handy and I can fit snacks, wipes, and sanitizer with room for my own stuff as well.” —Jill Di Donato, Senior Commerce Editor

Ceres Breastmilk Chiller

Ceres Breastmilk Chiller

Amazon

Lugging around breast milk in bulky coolers can be a real pain in the butt, not to mention it only offers a limited amount of time during which you can keep that liquid gold cold. This brilliant device keeps breast milk cold for up to 20 hours, can hold up to 24 ounces, is extremely streamlined and compact (it basically just looks like a thermos), and even turns into a bottle, further eliminating the need for extra stuff. It can be hooked up directly to a breast up and is TSA-compliant too, a must for moms on the go.

Ella Maternity Nursing, & Pumping Bra

Ella Maternity Nursing, & Pumping Bra

This brand, created by Elle Wang an intimate apparel designer and mom of three, is set to change that mentality. Case in point: This bra features sophisticated black lace paneling and gold hardware detailing. Still, the magnetic nursing clasps are easy to release, it can be worn with all types of pumps, and is extremely comfortable and wire-free.

Therabody Theragun Mini

Amazon

A favorite among celebrities (Justin Timberlake, Michael B. Jordan, and Ashley Graham just to name a few), the Theragun is the next best thing to living with an in-home massage therapist. The full-size gun made headlines years ago for its loyal celebrity and professional athlete following, but in our humble opinion, the mini is even better. Not only does it target hard to reach achy mom muscles, but it also fits easily in your suitcase or travel bag. Plus, it is significantly cheaper.

Better Not Younger Superpower Hair and Scalp Liquid Serum and Comb Set

Sephora

Postpartum, hormones are trying to find equilibrium. During this time, it is common to notice more shedding. It is usually temporary, but the process can be jarring. One way to stimulate growth is regular massage around the follicle. This increases blood flow to the area and helps ignite hair follicles. This set includes a massager and a stimulating serum to use in tandem. The massager also functions as an applicator and dispenses a little serum while making it simple to get the product exactly where you want it to be.
