Chic Tote
Every new mom needs a diaper bag for baby essentials, but it doesn’t have to look like a “diaper bag”. It can be a super chic tote that she’ll use for years to come – not just those infant days. This gorgeous leather tote by Frame is practical, sophisticated and a little more luxe for mom!
Most moms would never dream of registering for something that’s really just for them. This is where you swoop in! These Moonlight pajamas are made of the dreamiest material, they are generous in size (although you could size up for a new mom) and they are nursing-friendly with working buttons down the front. Also linking a plush robe that would be equally as comforting and inviting for a tired new mom!
Baby blankets are pretty much a no-brainer, so why not get her the softest one you can find! This Little Giraffe blanket is incredibly plush and cozy. I have purchased it as a gift many times and it’s always a huge hit. They are usually around $100, but it’s now on sale for under $64. Available in 7 colors!
This hooded baby bunting is adorable for a boy or girl. It’s soft and cozy and so easy for mom to dress baby quickly for walks or when rushing out the door. Fuss-free AND cute…what mom doesn’t love that?
This digital frame allows mom to upload photos from her phone and can be turned on its side for both vertical and horizontal images. It keeps all those new baby photos on display where everyone can enjoy them with no effort at all.
Here's another unexpected new mom gift. As beautiful as they are, new babies can wreak havoc on mom’s body – feeding, carrying those heavy car seats, sleeping (and mostly not sleeping!) in awkward positions as she acquaints herself with her “new” body. This hand-held dual massager combats cramps, knots and tension - an indulgent gift she’ll use and love.
For a more traditional gift, a soothing and safe baby swing is really a must-have for any new parent. This one has a selection of nature sounds and soft music and the swing automatically activates when baby gets fussy. Where was this 20 years ago? Plus it's neural, sleek, minimalistic, and lightweight!
This collapsible bathtub is perfect for bath and shower stalls. It has a temperature-sensitive plug so new moms can get alerted to the water temp (genius!). And, the foldable design makes it super practical for easy storage and travel.
This 3-in-one playard is great for a new mom but also amazing to have at your home if you are taking care of baby. It’s a bassinet, toddler sleep space, sturdy playard, and can also be used as a changing table, so it will be useful for years. Reviewers say it’s lightweight and can be opened/collapsed with one hand. I like the sleek design and earthy colors.
This is the Cadillac of strollers…you can push and collapse it with one hand, it has a bassinet and toddler seat, and it can be used for infants and children up to 50 pounds. If you want to impress a new mom or dad in your life, they'll feel like they won the stroller lottery with this beauty.
