Ergobaby

Delete baby-carrier research from Mom’s mental load and go for this top model. It’s hard to decide whether to choose a baby wrap, sling or structured carrier when there are so many to choose from. The Ergobaby Embrace is the best of them all. It has the convenience of a structured carrier and the breathable comfort of a wrap. 

Quince

Washable silk pajamas are a trend that just makes sense. They feel luxurious but they can go right into the wash along with all the (constant) baby laundry! This tee and shorts set from Quince is a great option and is affordable compared to similar sets. Available in indigo, light blue, light gray, black and almond.

Drunk Elephant

Skin care is a rare treat for new moms, and this Drunk Elephant vitamin C serum is a quick way to refresh with a little self-care. C-Firma Fresh Day Serum is safe for pregnant and nursing mothers, and it’s designed to increase “radiance and luminosity” to skin. Who couldn’t use more of that?

Ouai

She may not be able to make it to the spa, but you can invite the new mom in your life to soak in the tub with Ouai’s fizzy, moisturizing bath bombs. The package contains six mildly scented jasmine rose bath bombs that will leave her skin silky-smooth. Hot tip: Break the pills in half for twice as many soothing baths.

The Stella can be dressed up or down, and it has everyone’s favorite dress feature: pockets! Available in brick red or pacific teal.

Bouqs

It’s not a novel idea, but don’t discount a beautiful bouquet for Mother’s Day.

It’s so pretty that Mom might even interrupt her Instagram feed full of baby content for a floral shot.

Baby Brezza

Feeding a baby takes a lot of time. Make a new parent’s life a little easier with this handy Baby Brezza. If Mom is into making her own food, the Baby Food Maker Deluxe is helpful to have. It steams and blends fruits and veggies, and it even includes reusable pouches so baby can eat on the go.

Salt & Straw

When it comes to ice cream, Salt & Straw is the cream of the crop. Gift the new mom in your life a delivery of the good stuff. The Oh Baby! gift pack includes a congratulations card and a baby bib. But most importantly it comes with five mouth-watering flavors: Panther Coffee Tres Leches; Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough; Honey Lavender; Chocolate Gooey Brownie; Cold Brew Cashew Praline. 

Voluspa

It’s hard to find moments of relaxation when you’re a new mom, but something as simple as a scented candle can provide some serenity. Voluspa makes a wide selection of beautiful scents like Rose Otto, which comes in a pretty pink glass jar. The 18-ounce candle provides 100 hours of burn time.
