I received an early Mother’s Day gift when our baby girl, Lydia, arrived last Sunday! It wasn’t the home birth I had planned, but our hospital experience ended up being wonderful and very accommodating. Be on the lookout for some newborn cloth diaper reviews, which I will be posting soon at Cloth is Cool.
And now here are some thought-starters for Mother’s Day gifts, in case you’re looking for something new and different. These are all products I’ve tried and can highly recommend!
GoCuff
The GoCuff was sent to me for review, but now my teenagers use them just as much! If you don’t like toting around flimsy to-go cups then you will love this innovative new sleeve which cradles and insulates your hot or cold beverage and includes a sturdy carry handle. It also eliminates sweat and condensation.
Available in FORTY different prints and colors, you’ll have no problem finding just the right design for a special mother in your life. GoCuffs start at just $10.95 and are available in 3 sizes. Orders before 2 pm ship the same day.

Earth Baby
This is a brand that mothers trust and their babies love! All products are certified organic and good for your baby’s skin. There’s no need to worry about harsh soaps and chemicals that can strip and irritate the skin as you wash your little one because Earth Baby is non-toxic, gentle, and effective while also moisturing and nourishing skin and hair with emollient oils and vitamins.
Choose from a broad spectrum of products: sunscreen, lotion, shampoo & conditioner, hand sanitizer and rash cream.
Earth Baby’s founder donates 1% of all sales to two incredible organizations (Preface Project Foundation and Folded Flag Foundation) that build a better tomorrow and impact our community by fostering opportunities for the next generation as a token of gratitude to those that helped her along the way.

Steeped Coffee
If you know a mother whose motto is “But first coffee,” then Steeped is definitely something she needs to try. It’s a new way to prepare and enjoy your java. Steeped single serve coffee sachets are a convenient alternative to fixing a whole pot, and less wasteful than plastic k-cup pods. Experience full flavor and rich aromas with just a cup and some hot water. And for new mothers who are still watching their caffeine intake, Steeped does offer a flavorful decaf option.
Preparing a cup of Steeped Coffee is dead easy. Submerge the bag in hot water, dunk for about 15 seconds and the steep to your desired strength level. What new mother wouldn’t appreciate a flavorful cup of coffee with no pots or filters or carafes to fool with? Find your favorite Steeped Coffee variety and get free shipping on all US orders!
You can also pair your Steeped Coffee with one of their heavyweight ceramic diner mugs, each featuring a hand-drawn illustration on one side and the Steeped Logo on reverse.
Kyte Baby
Have you ever bought something soft and beautiful for your baby and thought to yourself “I wish they made something in this fabric for me!” Well Kyte Baby is thinking along the same lines. Surging in popularity for their buttery soft clothes for babies, toddlers, and parents, they recently added twirl dresses, pants and shirts. We received one of their super-sized, stretchy bamboo swaddles for Lydia to cuddle in.
Check out their adult collection for 2021 which includes robes, PJ’s, undergarments and more! Get free shipping on orders over $85 and use Afterpay to buy now and pay later.
Nicki’s Diapers
Speaking of shops that go beyond the baby, have you checked Nicki’s lately? Their selection of bath & body products and stylish totes and diaper bags is amazing! One of my favorite new lines is called the Oh Lily Collection, named after Nicki’s daughter. The stylish mom backpacks start at just $32. Nicki’s also carries Petunia Picklebottom, JuJuBe and other popular bag brands.
Get free shipping on orders over $10, plus a free cloth mask with purchase of $50 or more and a free reusable snack bag with orders over $100.
A Whiter Smile
Give the gift of the confidence that comes with a beautiful smile.
The Magic Melt Away Teeth Whitening Masks from Elims are a sustainable and natural option; she’ll see results in just 14 days! More effective that Crest’s 3-D whitening strips and good for the environment, Elim’s masks are fully dissolvable and are packaged in 100% recyclable boxes. Designed by dentists with natural ingredients, they are safe on enamel and gentle on sensitive teeth.
The minty flavor is pleasant and not overpowering, and there are not artificial colors, flavors or SLS to worry about.
Shop Elims’ whitening masks and toothpastes at the online shop; every purchase is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Good Essentials Skincare
A healthy home is doubly important when there’s a new arrival, and naturally-minded mothers appreciate gentle but effective ways to kill germs and bacteria. Look no further than Good Essentials, a brand that combines proprietary wisdom and modern advancements in a line of herbal-infused skincare products.
Good Essentials has already saved you a lot of time by assembling the Bundle of Goodness, which contains a beautifully packaged Hand Sanitizer, Face & Mask Mist and Essential Balm. It’s a great way to try some of their most popular products while feeling protected and smelling amazing! Shop Good Essentials andget 10% off when you sign up for emails!
And not every thoughtful gift comes wrapped up in a box. Life with a newborn is frequently chaotic. Nothing relaxes me more than a nice, clean house to sit back and enjoy with my family! Merry Maids makes this easy by offering personalized Visa gift cards that can be used for cleaning services.
Free Sample for New Mothers!
I’ve got something I can send you for free, too. If you are nursing and need a few samples of Lansinoh Pure Lanolin, then use the Contact Me link to request it by email.
