Onesies, strollers, car seats are all presents a mom-to-be gets at her baby shower.
It's very rare for a mother to get something just for her, something that she can enjoy on those days when it gets really tough, managing a newborn, changing 17,600 diapers, breast-feeding every 2 hours.
Giving a new mom a present besides some home cooked meals and babysitting for her is the best way to say 'we are proud of your strength, queen'.
Below are 9 awesome gifts you can gift to that very special woman in her life to make her feel appreciated and loved.
1. KATE SPADE AFLUTTER ESPADRILLES
Now that she can see her feet again, give her something cute to look at (besides her little one) on all those afternoon walks.
2. SKIMS VELOUR WOMEN'S LONG ROBE
One of the toughest parts about being a new mom? She’ll have a million visitors during the first three months, which is also when she’ll want to wear pajamas exclusively. Give her a robe that she’ll feel just as comfortable sleeping and breastfeeding in as she will hanging out in the kitchen.
3. HATCH BABY REST SOUND MACHINE, NIGHT LIGHT AND TIME-TO-RISE
New moms do a lot of stumbling around in the dark while trying not to wake up the rest of the house. This genius night light invention emits a calming glow for midnight feedings. And when those sleepless nights are over, it doubles as an alarm clock that uses soft light to gently wake up your kids in the morning and lull them to sleep at bedtime.
4. AMAZON ECHO DOT
The ability to set alarms, check the weather, control the room’s temperature and make calls all hands-free is everything.
5. INSTANT POT
Aka the best kitchen invention since, well, ever? She can dump in a few ingredients, set the machine, go tend to the baby and have a delicious dinner waiting for her when she’s done.
6. "GO THE F**K TO SLEEP" PICTURE BOOK
An instant classic of parental humor upon its publication in 2011, this is going to tell the new mom in your life: I see you. I feel you. And, in truth, I'm glad I'm not you at 3 a.m. these days.
7. AUDIBLE CREDITS
She barely has time to take a shower, let alone delve into a 300-page novel. An audiobook, on the other hand, is the ideal gift. She can listen to it while taking the baby for a walk, or play it in the background while washing bottle parts.
8. A HELLO FRESH GIFT CARD
Things that become a lot harder when taking care of a newborn: Going to the grocery store, making complicated recipes, and deciding what’s for dinner. Take the guesswork out of cooking with this delicious meal kit that will deliver food weekly with easy step-by-step recipes.
9. AMAZON HOME SERVICES
If she recently moved into a new space, she probably has a few home projects on her to-do list. And trying to build a new bed/TV center/dresser is never fun. But trying to do so while bouncing a newborn and functioning on two hours of sleep? Amazon to the rescue. The retail giant lets you book furniture assembly through its website, whether you’re mounting a home theater or a storage cabinet. Genius.
