Best Gifts for New Moms

Give a new mom the gift of serenity while celebrating her first Mother's Day.

Theresa Gambacorta

Apr 02, 2025

In my early days of new motherhood, I was caught in a whirlwind of euphoric love, feedings, doctor's visits, family visits, and keeping our 450-square-foot apartment — which had turned into "baby central" — from falling into an abyss of clutter.

"Me" time? It wasn't happening. Sure, I had managed a date night here and there with my husband (thanks to my amazing mom) and a quiet walk or two (thanks to my even more amazing husband), but it wasn't until my first Mother's Day rolled around that I was ready to pause and celebrate all that I had accomplished growing this little one. And, now, making a new life with him.

This lineup of gifts for new moms has celebratory self-care and the little pleasures in "life before baby" in mind.

After nine months, well, 10 full ones for me, of being unable to enjoy blue and soft-ripened cheeses, every cheese-loving new mom will yelp after unwrapping this gourmet cheese and fruit topper box. This duo of artisan cheeses covers a wide-ranging palate: sharp white cheddar and a salty, yet creamy Gouda.

Sushi is another food pregnant women have to forego during pregnancy. Hence, a gift of these delectable, line-caught, sushi-grade yellowfin tuna steaks from Vital Choice brings one of her favorite foods to her doorstep to enjoy any time she likes, and in recipe-ready portions. We recommend searing them.
