Whether celebrating Mother's Day for the first time or simply soaking in moments with the little one, becoming a mom is one of life's most special milestone. While it can often be difficult for new moms to prioritize self care and mental health during this major life change, the loved ones in her life (aka: you!) should show as much love and support as possible. In this guide, we’re sharing our favorite presents for pregnant women and the best gifts for new moms that they'll be grateful to receive this year.
As we launched our investigation on the best gifts for new moms, we considered two primary categories: must-have items for her and the best baby products. So, you’ll find quite a range of options, from trusty postpartum hair supplements and cozy items like a plush bathrobe to next-gen baby tech that makes for a perfect baby shower gift or addition to a Mother's Day basket. Plus, we also snuck in a couple sentimental ideas that can help her track her baby’s life moments, as well as some cute clothing for her little one.

The quilted base of this play gym mat makes it much more comfortable and supportive for little ones, so they'll enjoy laying on it to give Mom a few minutes of peace. "Once my daughter got to the point of being able to grasp and pull toys, she got really aggravated with her other play gym because it wasn't flexible," Commerce Editor Hannah Jones says. "She loves this one now because it allows her to grab the toys and pull and play with them while still attached to the arch!"

We love a good fanny pack, but most are far too small to fit all the essentials moms need at all times. Ayla & Co. is a mom-run brand that makes bags designed for motherhood and beyond, so you can rest assured that this fanny pack has tons of space and pockets. "Carrying a regular purse and a diaper bag while trying to hold a baby is just too much," Commerce Editor Hannah Jones says. "I use this as both a fanny pack and a sling bag so I don't have to worry about keeping my purse on my shoulder while trying to keep my wiggly baby in my arms. It also has plenty of room for travel wipes, a diaper or two, and my phone, keys, and wallet."
