I love that this bag is so easy to customize according to your personal style. Carry using the backpack straps, or tuck them into the pocket and use as a shoulder bag. If you want to carry as a tote, detach the shoulder straps and use just the top strap.

After three kids, I still don’t have a nice diaper bag, so that would be a great gift!
I love the sound of the whipped body lotion!
Honestly, I think giftcards to moms favorite places to eat (that offer delivery or curbside pick up) are nice. Or even a meal train !
The Bananafish Studio Triple Go Diaper Bag looks so good.
The bamboo combs and toothbrushes are really neat!
I really was happy for my cloth pads this time around, and I like Pink Lemonade brand. I used disposables in the hospital but have been pleasantly surprised by how much nicer cloth pads feel. They don’t sweat, stink, or stick! So easy to just rinse out and throw in my laundry and they’re so soft and pretty they’re just a little luxury every change.
These are great ideas. The best gifts are the free ones IMO though. My church does Meal Trains for 2 weeks for new moms, which is very appreciated. I loved it when a friend offered to take my older child for a afternoon playdate when the sibling was born. A friend offering to do a load of laundry, change the sheets, wash the dishes, or even keeping an eye on the baby while you get a shower & a nap would be awesome.
I LOVE the meal train, too! We have a lady assigned to each town at our church, and she makes the calls and usually gets 1-2 weeks of meals lined up. So incredibly helpful and a great blessing! On the flip side, if you’re one of the families bringing the meal, you get to see the adorable new baby, too! ~Anne Marie
Those diaper bags look amazing! Mine are always so heavy, I’m wondering if a backpack style would make it feel lighter.
I got lucky and had my mom around to help with my baby. It was nice having someone cook for me, or let me nap or shower without having to worry. So for any new mom, lunches or dinners would be a good gift.
These are some great new mama gifts! I think I would choose the cotton nursing pads because I love natural fibers!
Great new mama gifts!!
This is super helpful! Most of the times as new moms we get completely wrapped up with baby that we forget to take care of ourselves as well. All of the items listed above would be incredibly helpful to a new mom.
Gift cards have always been my favorite gifts. Then I can get what I need as I need it.
This is so neat! I want to get the MaYa body butter and liniment for sure
Reusable nursing pads are utterly indispensable! I’d have loved to use mama cloth after birth if I’d had absorbent and large enough pads for postpartum (I only have liners).
Yeah, the postpartum pads are longer and thicker and do cost more. For that reason, I’ve only bought a few, but even those few have been indispensable! ~ Anne Marie
Best new mom gift I got was my family cleaned my house while I was in the hospital. Coming home to a clean house with new babies was amazing.
Wow, what an incredibly thoughtful gesture, Cyndi! ~Anne Marie
These gifts are a great idea! Especially the mama pads! (And so many print choices, too)
It always seem like people forget about us moms after we give birth. We need more love and support in our lives even more . Thanks for this guide
Great gifts for moms!! Will say nothing beats family who brings good food when baby comes.
That diaper bag is amazing! What a great gift.
these are wonderful gifts! I love pink lemonade shop
I am a big fan of the cloth pads.
These are some great ideas. I really like the diaper bag.
Good ideas. I bought a gift certificate from Diaper Junction for my daughter. I didn’t know she was interested in the cloth pads but she has been buying them a little at a time.
Getting a basket full of tasty snacks (especially lactation boosting treats) was something I had wished someone had done for me for the late night/early morning feedings munchies and just the general “no time to eat” period.
These are great gift ideas for a new mommy.
I really like the wood combs. I love the look of natural wood.
Lot of nice useful products.. I like the sound of the Les produits de maya lotions. That’s a well-designed bag, too
Such great ideas for mothers who love natural products!
I Love the MaYa Liniment & Body Butter. Great way to take care of ourselves which we need when our world revolves around a small person now!
One of my favorite gifts to give is a snack basket of high protein snacks and vitamin drink packets to encourage liquid intake. Cloth breast pads are also very useful.
Love the cotton nursing pads!
Beautiful ideas for Moms! Even though I am not one, there were still a couple of items that I would love.
Thank you for sharing! These are really unique ideas, and a lot different than what you see on the typical registry.
Very nice suggestions. It’s easy to forget mom’s needs when the new baby comes!
So many great ideas. finding the right diaper bag is tough but I love the one here !
These are great ideas. Besides bringing a gift I also like to help out the mom with cleaning or babysitting or something like that.
Thanks for the helpful ideas! Nice to know what mothers really want and can use!
The reusable pads are a practical idea!
I would like to try the Les produits de MaYa Liniment & Body Butter. Never seen this product before.
I like the diaper bag
Great looking gift ideas for mothers.
I really love this info. Thanks for sharing. I really love the diaper bag.
Sharing with my step daughter who becomes a new mom in February!
I love the wooden combs the most but all great items for a new mom
I wish I would have invested in more nursing pads!
These are all great items! I love the Bananafish Studio Triple Go Diaper Bag!
So many nice products! I love the Les produits de MaYa Liniment & Body Butter! It would be perfect for my niece expecting her first in a few months!
So many great products! These are perfect gift ideas!
Great gift guide – especially love the body butter with winter and cold weather around the corner,
The Les Produits de MaYa products look really nice. I wouldn’t mind gifting this for a new mother.
Lovely gift suggestions, especially the Les produits de MaYa Liniment & Body Butter.
The Pink Lemonade Postpartum Cloth Pads is a wonderful gift idea and great for the environment.
I <3 the Bananafish Studio Triple Go Diaper Bag. So much room…and very stylish!
these are great gift options for new moms. i wish i had been gifted things like this pp with my kids.
The Bananafish Studio Triple Go Diaper Bag is designed with everything a mom needs.
I know a young soon to be Mom who could use that diaper bag.
Those are some great products for new mothers. I always like to include a gift for the new mom because she deserves some pampering.
great products for new mothers
Great ideas for the new mom. You need a great diaper bag!
The sterling silver zirconia jewelry is a great idea, because it makes a new mother feel really spoiled and luxurious!
I really like that bag. Any new mom would love that!
Love the cloth pads! very excited to see that those are making a come back.
I haven’t heard of Bananafish until now. I love that you can get one of their diaper bags at Walmart!
I would’ve loved any of these items as a first time mom. I gifted nursing pads to my sil because I remember that’s one of the last things on your mind, at least on mine.
Great products!! I like the wooden combs!
I love the diaper bag. It looks nice and functional.
These are great ideas and I really like the Mariposah Natural Wood Toothbrushes and Combs.
I could really use a new bag. We been using the same one with the last 3 kids..
I really love the Bananafish Studio Triple Go Diaper Bag it looks like it would hold a lot
I like the Mariposah Natural Wood Toothbrushes and Combs. I like that the Mariposah Natural Wood Toothbrushes and Combs have a 100% biodegradable handle.
I love the Swarovski set – so chic!
I would LOVE a beautiful necklace and earring set like that! Will be checking out ZKS for sure!
Oh wow, the prices at ZKS are amazing! I have some friends who just love glitzy jewelry!
