Gifts for New Moms | Holidays | Feathers and Stripes

Chances are, you know someone who is either expecting or a new mom, so today’s gift guide is all about them! Even though we don’t decorate at home until after Thanksgiving (the day after, to be exact), I’m shopping and even getting ready to send out our Christmas cards!

And if you don’t know anyone who’s expecting, just wait… those pregnancy announcements are sure to be rolling in over the next few weeks.

Best Gifts for A New Mom

one: a pair of the comfiest leggings (I love these so much that I own 3 pairs and I wrote them their own dedicated leggings blog post!) and the robe/sweater that everyone wants once they feel it

two: a cozy throw for TV binging (as soon as the little ones are asleep)

three: Google Home, which will allow her to do things hands-free (like turn on a soothing playlist or add something to her shopping list)

four: a chic cross-body bag (because the diaper bag is probably her everyday bag)

five: a fitness tracker to track all those steps she’s taking in the middle of the night 😉

six: a pretty water bottle (or coffee bottle!)

seven: cozy slippers

eight: nice pajamas for those long afternoons

nine: a nice skincare set (my go-to skincare brand)

Beauty goodies to make her feel pretty: this 5-minute face mask in a bottle, a pretty lip stain, a really great mascara

Splurge gifts: auto-start for her car, a house cleaner (even if it’s just a one-time thing!)

other gifts for new moms…

A homecooked meal
An offer to watch the baby so she can take a shower/mindlessly scroll through Instagram/online shop/read a book
A gift card for a spa service or manicure/pedicure
Take a day off from work (clear the day ahead of time with the new mom) and spend the day with her and her baby. Meet up for lunch, wander the mall… It can get lonely being on maternity leave during the week!
