Being a new mommy can be very daunting. Learning so many things every day, taking care of an innocent new life, and at the same time keep a track of one’s health, as well as the baby’s. If you know of a new mum in your life, whether a friend or a sister, she deserves to be celebrated this Mother’s Day. Here are 20 thoughtful and unique gifts you could get her.
1. Treatment Mask for Fine and Medium Hair
Sephora
A new mother does not necessarily have enough time to visit a salon or get her daily beauty treatments done which is when such a gift will really come in handy. She can just apply this OUAI hair mask and do her thing, take care of the baby and herself.
Customer Review:
“I love this stuff made my hair super soft the first time I used it. The price is reasonable too. I had been trying all kinds of different mask the past few weeks. This one is a keeper, you won’t be disappointed.”
2. Diaper Bag Pouches
Amazon
The most important thing that every new mom will need – a diaper bag. Changing a diaper on the go is never fun but these diaper pouches make it a lot easier. Moms don’t have to frantically search for a diaper that’s hidden away in the bottom of a bag. These pouches will help them to organize their bag and make diaper changes seem like a breeze.
Diaper pouches are a must & well deserved by the new Mommy on this Mother’s Day.
Customer Review:
Ordered these for my hospital bag and then will be using them in my diaper bag. The material is super nice and sturdy. Zippers are buttery smooth and not cheap.
And the leopard print is beautiful!
Love this brand already!
3. Keepsake Hands Casting Kit
Amazon
It is safe to say that the Hands Casting Kit is one of the cutest gifts you could give to a Mom with a newborn to memorialize a special moment that will soon be fleeting right before her eyes. The mother and newborn could make a lil memorabilia together or one could make it with just their child as well. This mother’s day gift is thoughtful and timeless.
Customer Review:
“I made a sign for my big sister for Christmas using her little girl’s hand (4) and her little boy’s feet (8mo). I cannot freakin wait for her to open this up tomorrow!!! The feet are a little imperfect because he was wiggly but the rest is gold! Secured the hand and feet to the wood plank with gorilla glue epoxy.”
4. Automatic Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet, and Ice Cream Maker
Post-partum for a new mother can be very taxing. In addition to taking care of a new one, her body also needs to recover. And sometimes, it can get overwhelming. And what’s better than ice cream to calm down? If she is a foodie and can’t live without an ice cream then this one makes for a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift for a new Mum or a mum-to-be!
Customer Review:
This is my first ice cream maker. The machine is a little noisy, but that’s the only drawback that I can really think of. The first ice cream we tried to make was a twist on Ben n Jerry’s Cherry Garcia ice cream made from real cherries and dark chocolate chips. The ice cream froze well and was absolutely delicious. Overall it’s much cheaper than constantly buying pints of ice cream in the store. Definitely worth the price and I would definitely recommend it.
5. Family Tree Chart
Amazon
If you’re looking for a rather unique gift for Mother’s Day, how about this family tree chart? With the addition of the new born baby to it, this will definitely make the new Mommy’s day. These can be personalized to your preference with an addition of genealogy information as well. How cool is that?!
Customer Review:
“Looks amazing in my distressed black frames. Very fine tip sharpie pen with tiny writing worked great. Looks really nice and the quality is great!“
6. Stress Fix Oil
Goes to say without a doubt that post-partum can bring on a lot of stress for a new Mom. If you want to give her a thoughtful gift this Mother’s Day that will really help her on the daily, get her this stress-fix oil by Aveda. It has a portable rollerball with an aroma that is proven to reduce feelings of stress. It can also be applied anywhere, anytime.
Customer Review:
“The smell of this product just places your mind at ease. I catch glimpses of it throughout the day, and it brings me back to center. Wonderful little product for these stressful times.”
7. Luxury Bathtub Caddy Tray
Royal Craft Wood Store
After a long hard day of taking care of the baby, a mother would love some me-time to just rejuvenate and relax herself. This bathtub caddy tray will aid her to have a peaceful long bath coupled with soothing scented candles, and a book she can rest on the stand to unwind with. This makes for a great Mother’s Day gift for a new Mom.
Customer Review:
“This is a game changer!! Bye bye back aches from reading with my book on the edge of the tub. Hello bliss!”
8. Baby Journal Memory Book
Amazon
Yet another keepsake that the new parents can keep close to their heart is this Baby Journal. This baby book, tracks the baby’s journey through their first 5 years which includes the birth story, pages for footprints, months 1-12, special memories holidays, other firsts and milestones. A rather beautiful gift for Mother’s Day.
Customer Review:
“Love this memory book. Precise and simple to fill out. I especially liked it because, unlike other similar options here on Amazon, it does not have a baby shower, nursery, gender reveal, list of guest and other very specific sections which I was not interested in filling out at all. One of the corners was a little bent but it’s not very noticeable. Also, pages are excellent quality and colors are vibrant. Definitely recommend buying.”
9. Vintage Air Circulator Fan
Amazon
Summer is coming and it brings unbearable heat. These fans just scream perfect – vintage, cute, and are highly functional. And can we just say how aesthetically pleasing it looks? These fans can be kept near the crib so that the heat doesn’t become unbearable for the baby.
Customer Review:
“I bought this fan nearly 4 years ago, and used it constantly, 24/7 year-round. I have a vintage Vornado fan in nearly every room of the house because they are so beautiful, sturdy, and QUIET. This chrome one is the favorite of mine though and has always been at my desk or work table. Thank you, Vornado!! I’m never going to buy another brand.”
10. Matcha Powder
Artoftea
If the new mommy loves tea then give her these matchasticks. Matcha is known to be full of L-theanine and antioxidants, both of which help to relax one’s body and mind with every cup. And it has less caffeine! Definitely makes for a perfect Mother’s Day present.
Customer Review:
“I love iced matcha for a refreshing calming yet fully awake afternoon. I carry around a metal water bottle with ice water matcha every day. But there are places you can’t take outside beverages in. No problem. Carry these tiny matcha pouches in, and (carefully) pour them into a cold bottle of water, or, better, a glass of ice water. Either way, stir or shake, and you are golden.”
11. Diaper Bag Backpack with Folding Crib
Amazon
Looking for a functional yet cool gift to give a new Mommy this Mother’s day? Check out this diaper bag that also doubles as a folding crib! Yes, you read that right. For a new Mom, it’s a nightmare to always find a clean spot to rest the baby while changing their diaper when outdoors, this backpack is heaven-sent.

Customer Review:
“Pregnant finally, and shopping for baby items, I absolutely love this diaper bag. Never seen such a cool gadget before, a napping station and changer. Very cool. Very easy to put together, unzip bag, unfold bassinet part, insert poles into slots and add little padding into bottom. Very easy and cute. Has a little shade that Velcro’s across too. Folds up nicely back into the back of the bag. Poles fold down. Plenty of pockets and space for wipes, bottles in the front and pockets on the side and back. Breathable back so you dnt get hot easily while wearing the bag.”
12. Baby Handprint & Footprint Kit
Amazon
It is safe to say that babies grow very fast. Time flies and right before your eyes, they’re the not same lil guys with toe-beans and hands the size of lil paws. Gift this to a new mother and allow her the joy of freezing the beautiful memory of her child still being little this Mother’s Day. After taking the prints, one can hang it in their living room or bedroom as one pleases.
Customer Review:
“Bought this for my daughter to capture the prints of our granddaughter. This would’ve been easier to use had our 3 week old granddaughter been deeply asleep. We were able to get her feet prints, but it was impossible to get her handprints. However, my daughter is very pleased with how the feet prints turned out. She also really liked the stamp option. We put our granddaughter’s name and date of birth in addition to a neat little quote my daughter found. We are excited to get her newborn pictures developed to finish this keepsake and hang on the wall.”
13. Mom Est. 2021 Spa Bath Box Set
Amazon
Being a new Mom comes with a whole set of new responsibilities. You are not not just responsible for the well-being of yourself, but of your new born as well. Which is why if you know of someone, maybe your friend or a sister who has recently given birth, get them this spa bath set to show them you care and that they should be in their best mental health. To do so, they could have a spa day to themselves.
Customer Review:
“I have a friend that is going to be having her first baby. I wanted to find something that would be just for the new mom that she could enjoy to pamper herself. I came across this product and thought this would be great, soap, lotion, bath bomb and a wine tumbler…great things to pamper a new sleep-deprived Mom. When it came in the mail it was just like I thought it would be. I gave it to my friend and she was overjoyed that it was just for her. Its the perfect gift to take a new mom, when taking the baby a gift too.”
14. Organic Nipple Butter Breastfeeding Cream
Earth Mama Organics
It goes without saying that Mothers of newborns are continuously breastfeeding their child and their nipples can tend to get sore. For relief, moisturization and to soothe the soreness, here’s a rather thoughtful gift for a new Mommy this Mother’s Day. Nipple buttercream. It is organic, GMO-free, and paraben-free.
Customer Review:
“This is the only reason that I am still breastfeeding. What no one tells you is that it hurts. A lot. I know everyone says if it hurts something wrong. But my daughter’s latch was fine and had no ties. It just hurts. I was told to use this before and after I fed her and that was the game-changer. I’ve started buying the three-pack and keep it everywhere. No cracking just wonderful.”
15. Momlife Stainless Steel Water Bottle

16. Burt’s Bees Mama Bee Gift Set
Amazon
Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy. One cannot go wrong with Burt’s Bees and one can definitely not go wrong with this pregnancy skin care product kit for a new Mommy. Makes for a good Mother’s Day gift.
Customer Review:
“I love this belly butter, the smell is very mild so it doesn’t make you feel grossed out if you have morning sickness or aversion to smells. It rubs in easily and keeps my skin moisturized all day, I haven’t gotten any stretch marks and have been using this through my whole pregnancy (I’m at 25 weeks now). The foot and leg lotion is peppermint and is tingly when you put it on which helps with restless legs. I highly recommend this!”
17. Morse Code Bracelet
Amazon
Honestly, this gift really needs no explanation. Every Mom’s a badass, especially the new Mom who’s really killing it. Gift this to a new Mommy you know and make her day. The coolest part about this bracelet is that it’s in morse code!
Customer Review:
“What a great gift for one of my best friends and she loves it!”

While lazying around the house, we all want to be comfortable, right? Especially given the fact that it’s a new mother this is for. Since she’s breastfeeding on and off, this purple robe that’ll make her look like royalty.
Customer Review:
“ABSOLUTELY fabulous!!!!
Best robe I’ve ever had – I have had about 15. I usually buy men’s robes & even though they are really big; I prefer their thickness & more boxy cut. I bought this one in a small & it is PERFECT. It is “roomy” where I want it to be, but it actually fits. “
Buy for $49.99 – $59.99 (depends on size and color)
19. Women’s Comfy Faux Fur House Slipper
Today Show
Some plush slippers to walk around in the house never did no one wrong. Don’t know what to get the new Mommy this Mother’s Day? Get her this comfy pair of slippers.
Customer Review:
“First review that I ever done right away. Man I loves these slippers. So comfy. So plush…so fluffy. I wanna order more for xmas and also as a backup pair when these go out in 3 years. Man I heart these so much. I had my husband try them on and at first he was like I ain’t putting on girl shoes but then he did…and let’s just say he didn’t want to take them off. If I can find a black pair…I bet he would rock them around the house.”
Buy for $19.99 – $55.88 (depends on size and color)
20. Skincare Routine Kit
Glossier
A skincare routine is rather hard to set, but what if one is presented a kit with steps and products all-in-one? During child-birth, the skin of a new mother goes through a lot and requires nourishment. If you’re looking to get something for her this Mother’s Day, this Glossier Skincare Edit with miniature products could be your answer.
Customer Review:
“This is the perfect introduction to glossier and it made me fall in love instantly. Even products like the priming moisturizer that I didn’t expect to like, I use daily now. I’m glad I could try the balms without committing, but now I’m off to buy full-sized items if just about anything. I don’t think the cleanser was all that special but it was gentle. The headband is also nice in that it has a rubbery material that keeps it in place but doesn’t pull your hair. Great for the price.”
With so many options to choose from, one thing’s for sure, whatever you gift the new mum from this list, it’s only going to bring a smile to her face because at the end of the day, it’s the thought that counts.
