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 milestones. 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.
