After my last post, Baby Registry, I thought it would be a great idea to create a list of awesome and thoughtful baby shower gifts for Mom too. Moms love getting all those fabulous gifts for baby, and let’s face it, babies need SO much!! But, getting a little something just for Mom will be so appreciated during this time.

It doesn’t take long for new Moms-to-be to realize that the pregnancy (and then a new baby) is going to take all the attention. It’s all about that baby bump and then that new baby…and understandably so.
Baby shower gifts for Mom
Make that new mom or “Mommy-to-be” in your life feel special and loved with a gift from this list! Maybe it will even help relieve some of the anxiety from the approaching delivery, at least for a bit 😉
Gift cards
Gift cards are great because it allows the recipient to get whatever they need or want, right?! You can get one for a store or check out this list of gift card ideas below
- Massage
- Nails
- Hair
- Car detailing
- Restaurants, for take out
- Cleaning service
Cute or personalized tumbler
After the baby is born it’s so important to drink tons of water to help with recovery. And its especially important for breastfeeding too.
Bathrobe/Comfy clothes
Some nice, new, comfy clothes will be appreciated by any new mom! Here are a few ideas
Phone holder for stroller
This is such a practical gift and something a new mom might not think to get herself.
Mommy hooks
These are so useful! They work great for strollers and shopping carts.
Heating pad and essential oils
There are so many aches and pains before and after delivery. A heating pad can really help soothe them. And essential oils are a nice treat. They not only smell good but they are also great at promoting a soothing, relaxing atmosphere.
Bath Bomb set
Bath bombs are great. Sometimes a bath is just what you need to destress. And adding a lovely scented bath bomb makes it even more relaxing.
Bath knee and elbow set
As a mom, I’ve spent a lot of time sitting on the bathroom floor hanging over the tub for bathtime. I didn’t find out about these sets until years into motherhood and I wish I found them earlier! Make bathtime a little more comfortable for the new mom in your life with one of these sets.
Also, check out my post, “Instead of saying “What can I do to help”, here are a few ideas to help you take action”, to get some other ideas for gifts or helping out after the baby arrives.
I have been the new mom with a bunch of little ones at home, it can be stressful and isolating. Any thoughtful gift that was just for me felt so special!
I hope you find this list of baby shower gifts for mom useful and helps you make that new mom in your life feel appreciated.
