What Is A Good Gift For A New Mom?
Get the new mom in your life a gift she needs. Whether she needs a laugh, help with postpartum recovery, help around the house, you know your friend best, and analyzing the things she's going to want to help her in her new chapter as a mother will be a wonderful gift. Maybe she wants to feel pretty when she looks down at her manicured nails? Let's help her. Or she needs both the world's easiest-to-make-great-coffee, as well as a way to keep it ever-hot. We got that for her, too. Or, heck, maybe she just needs an excellent foot massage—check."During those first few weeks you really just don't have the time or energy to grocery shop or even cook (but you're also starving) so it was kind of the best thing ever," says Alexia Dellner, who oversees our Family content and is a mom of two. She recommends any kind of food gift as a way to help mom out.
How We Chose the Top Gifts for New Moms
We polled our in-house mamas on the things they loved during their new motherhood journey, while also asking the moms in our lives and pregnant new-moms-to-be what they're looking forward to getting post-baby. After scouring the internet for top-quality items for our new moms, we've collected a great list of gifts she's sure to love.
Giving a new mom something that's just for her enjoyment or that will offer immense help to her daily routine is the most efficient way we can think of to really say, we see you and we're proud of you, woman. (Well, a great gift and also coming over for a few hours every week to watch the baby while she naps.) Babysitting aside, here are 51 amazing postpartum gifts that every new mom will appreciate.

Once she starts using this, she’ll be easily hydrated all the time, since its 40-ounce capacity means her cup won’t be left empty after two gulps.
