Whether she’s your sister, best friend, or colleague, the new mom (or soon-to-be) in your life is about to experience a whole new chapter—one filled with joy, exhaustion, and plenty of surprises! No parenting book or advice (though they help) can fully prepare her for everything. That’s why gifts that make life easier will be the ones she appreciates most. In this blog, I’m sharing my top picks for the best gifts for new moms in 2024.

Looking back on when I had my first daughter, I thought I had everything under control—I read the parenting books, stocked up on all the “right” baby gear, and filled my registry with essentials. But nothing could prepare me for sleepless nights with a colicky baby. Now, in hindsight, I realize the most meaningful gifts would have been the ones that supported me—things that made daily life with a baby easier.
While she’s bound to be over the moon with her new little one, the early days of motherhood are no cakewalk. So, treat her to something that helps her feel cared for and recharged.

There’s no doubt about it; she’s about to experience nights with very little sleep (if not initially, they’ll happen during the 4-month regression). To help her get through the day with a glow, get her the TheraFace Depuffing Wand. This beauty device minimizes under-eye puffiness and brightens the skin.

Help her combat post-partum hair loss with the FOREO FAQ 301 LED hair regrowth device.

If the new mom in your life loves coffee, she’ll appreciate the Breville Precision Brewer. Yes, it’s pricy, but the stainless steel design is sturdy—expect it to last until the little one is ready for college. And the coffee it brews is delicious.

As a new mom, I remember forgetting to brush my teeth in the morning. An electric toothbrush like the SURI would have motivated me to brush more and made my brushing sessions more effective. I like its minimalist design and sustainable materials. The head and bristles are made from cornstarch and castor oil—plus, the company recycles them for free.

I didn’t get an air fryer until after my kids started school—and, wow, do I wish I had bought one sooner. The Ninja Air Fryer Pro has a 5 qt. capacity, and quickly cooks and crisps foods like chicken, fish, and veggies—with a fraction of the fat you’d use to fry them. Your new mom will be happy to have a healthy go-to cooking option.

Another thoughtful gift for a new mom is the Eberjey Gisele Tuxedo woman’s robe. It feels soft and luxurious against the skin, and the sheer fabric has an elegant look.

The Hatch Baby Sleep Bundle is one of those rare, 5-star items on Amazon—and I wish it had been available when I was a new mom! This bundle includes the Hatch 2nd Gen & the Hatch Rest Go.
