Are you looking for a gift for a first time mom in your life but you’re not quite sure where to start? As a first time mom, it can be extremely overwhelming and exhausting to do just about anything. Read on to discover the best gifts for first time moms.
New moms often know that they need something but don’t always know exactly what it is that they need. Being able to read their mind would help so much! Since we can’t do that, I’ve taken it upon myself to look back at my time as a new mom and think of all of the things that helped me, that I think every new mama should have in their life.
So, I’ve compiled a list to help you discover the best gifts for first time moms in your life, and at an affordable price, that will make them say, “Thank you! This will be so helpful!”
And so, without further ado…
This 161 page planner was designed with new moms in mind! It’s got everything from diaper changing trackers to daily schedules, naptime and bedtime routines to milk/formula intake trackers. Blank monthly calendars, monthly food menus and so much more are also included in this planner.
This planner is guaranteed to make your life easier and less stressful when you’re navigating the world as a new mom.
With essential oils of Blood Orange, Peppermint, Lemon, Ginger Root, Eucalyptus Globulus, and Egyptian Geranium, this energy boosting roll on oil (safely diluted in Fractionated Coconut Oil), will help give a boost of energy to the most tired of mamas!
Roll on oils are easy to use. Just remove the cap, then roll directly onto your wrists, (or other pulse points) and you’re all set!
*Word of warning, because of the energy boosting nature of this roll on oil, it is best to stay away from it at nighttime, and the few hours preceding sleep.
For sleepy mamas, anything with caffeine is sure to help perk her up! This Cucumber Herbal Eye Gel is no exception. With caffeine as one of its main ingredients, this eye gel will help soothe puffy, tired eyes. Hyaluronic acid, shea butter, and cucumber round out the main ingredients and will help reduce the appearance of dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles, and provide deep hydration to the delicate eye area.
A tiny little bit goes a long way, so this eye gel makes a perfect gift, as it will last her a long time!
Susannah of Brookside Baby is the most talented newborn photographer around. I mean that! She did my sweet kiddos’ newborn photos and they are among my favorite and most treasured items in the world. 
When you go to her site, you’ll see that one of the shots from my kiddos’ photoshoot is the very first image that appears! The dragonfly and the butterfly on the moss covered branch? Those are my babies!
Not only is Susannah an extraordinarily talented and creative photographer, she will work with you to give you the most exceptional, beautiful and perfectly tailored to your needs photos that you can possibly ask for. She’s wonderful to work with. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
You may be wondering if this gift is a little too personal, but I assure you, it’s not! For those breastfeeding mamas, Earth Mama Organics Nipple Butter is a life saver. But really, it’s a nipple saver! I highly recommend this as a gift for any breastfeeding mama out there. There are other wonderful nipple butters on the market, but this is the one I find to be the most soothing and it doesn’t hurt that it’s organic! They also have a Vegan Option available.
She’ll greatly appreciate the thoughtfulness of this nipple butter. I promise.
Life as a new mama is very hard and stressful. Trying to figure out what you’re going to have for dinner every night is complicated enough, and then going to the supermarket with a list and going down each aisle to figure it out? It’s too much! Especially if you’re a working mama and you just don’t have the time. Every Plate makes it easy by giving you a choice of 11 different meals each week and then sending you a box with the ingredients and instructions included.
Starting at $4.99 per serving, with your choice of 2-4 servings per meal and 3, 4, or 5 meals per week, you can’t go wrong! I highly recommend getting the new mamas in your life a subscription to Every Plate. It’s a unique and extremely practical gift!
I hope this list has helped you discover the best gifts for first time moms in your life.
Mamas need support, and first time mamas need even more support. As a first time mom, it can be overwhelming to know what you need, and then trying to figure out how to get it when you’re dealing with a newborn (or 2, or 3, or more!) can just feel extremely chaotic.
Treat your new mom friends and give them a thoughtful gift that will be sure to touch their heart.
