Soothe those new-mom aches and pains with a cozy, heated neck and shoulder wrap like this Sunbeam Heating Pad on Amazon. Her aching shoulders and neck from those late-night feedings will thank you!
A robe that feels like a warm hug is a new mom’s dream. Extra points if it has pockets like this Richie House Women’s Robe on Amazon! Perfect for those early mornings (or middle-of-the-night feedings).
Fluffy slippers like these Dearfoams Slippers on Amazon that feel like walking on clouds? Yes, please. These will be her go-to for those early mornings (or late nights).
New mom anxiety is real and a weighted blanket like this YnM Weighted Blanket on Amazon can help soothe stress and promote more restful sleep (even if it’s just for a power nap).
Help mom relax and add a touch of coziness to her space with scented candles like these Chesapeake Bay Candles on Amazon.

A beautiful journal, like this Clever Fox Gratitude Journal on Amazon, where she can jot down all the little things she’s grateful for—like finally drinking a hot cup of coffee or baby’s first giggle (because sometimes, it’s the small wins that keep us sane) will make for the perfect gift idea.
