New Mom Gifts

While you can send meals to the house—or stop off a tray of home baked dinners—she’ll never say no. Those are so thoughtful and show that you empathize with her current chaos. You could offer to let her disappear into her room for an afternoon nap if you’re experienced with infant care. Cleaning her house—or better yet, sending someone to do it (at a time that works for her) is gold!

Maybe you’d like to give her something with more permanence—after all, this is a huge life event! Pendant earrings with baby’s name or initials—or something monogrammed with baby’s birthday will be treasured forever. A locket that will hold baby’s first picture will melt her heart. A delicate bracelet with a symbolic charm dangling from it will be a hit for sure.

At this time of the new mom’s life, she’s completely focused on her new baby—so the last person she’s thinking about is herself. Your gift, whatever you choose will speak volumes about sharing the joy with her and letting her know—she matters too!
