When you think about it, gifts for new moms often tend to end up being gifts for the new baby and while cute baby clothes and postpartum essentials are always welcomed, don’t forget to make room on your list for something for mom herself.
A unique gift for a new mom to enjoy when baby is finally sleeping or maybe a keepsake piece of jewelry will be a treat that she will treasure in those first, sleep-deprived days and beyond.
