The first Mother’s Day is one for the books! It’s the perfect occasion to shower new moms with love, gratitude, and maybe even a break. Of course, a gift doesn’t hurt either. The right first Mother’s Day gifts for new moms can not only show her love but could also offer her much-needed rest, take something off her to-do list, or be saved as a meaningful memento.

From keepsake monogrammed jewelry to a soft robe she will live in to a sweet space to house all of those baby photos, and more, these first Mother’s Day gifts are sure to make her feel the love. The list of gifts for new moms below is curated just for her, so you won’t be finding any items for baby on here—just things that will make her feel as special as the new title of “mama” should (or help to make her life easier!).
