Because a nice spa like shower, is really what a new mom needs - that's why shower steamers are a perfect gift for them.

A cup of coffee is exactly what a mom needs, as she needs some mom energy every day!

This cozy robe can be nice for a new mom to lounge in, especially a breastfeeding mama as it is easy to throw on top of anything.

A big water bottle is exactly what a new mom needs as she needs to stay hydrated. I love the owala because it comes in such pretty colors! It also is leakproof with a built in straw.

As a new mom looking forward to that fresh cup of coffee in the morning, this frother is the perfect addition so she can barista it up and get unique with her drinks.

Brighten up the mamas day by gifting her these affirmation cards to get her through her days with some humour.

This dainty Mama necklace is a perfect thoughtful gift for that new mom to add to her jewellery collection.

Surprise your mom friend with this thoughtfully curated postpartum recovery kit. This kit has everything a new mom requires for comfort and recovery

This new mama can spend her days in comfort and style with these cozy fuzzy home slippers.

These wireless headphones will be perfect for a new mom who will want to be watching shows or listening to podcasts while feeding her baby.

This is a thoughtful gift as it is personalized with the Mamas initial, and is a nice change from the diaper bag she will be carrying around.

Although this gift is more on the expensive side, it is something a new mom will love as she winds down at night after a long day.

This nursing cover is super helpful for that breastfeeding mom, and it comes in other cute patterns and colors.

If your friend is like me, they will be running over to their moms house for some help! This toiletry bag is perfect for going back & forth, or even just for a nice getaway.

These pouches are a perfect gift to help your mom friend stay organized, as diaper bags can become a bottomless pit. With these, it will be easier for her to sort and find her items.

Another great organization product; this diaper caddy will help that new mom stay nice and organized. Where it will be easy for her to access all her diapering baby items in one place.

This one is an expensive gift but let me tell you it is every moms dream! It is a total life saver! Your mama friend will be so happy with this as it will save her tons of time from washing bottles.

This would be a good alternative to the bottle washer, this one may not wash bottles but it still sterilizes and dries which is still a very great and useful feature.
