As a new parent, we tend to side-step the spotlight so that our little one can shine. And it doesn’t take much – the angelic face, the chubby little legs, the baby smell... And then the carousel of ‘first moments’ begins. Sometimes we forget that, as parents, we are also having all our ‘firsts’! Firsts to celebrate, firsts to reflect on, firsts to learn from. Mother's Day is a first, too! This blog will help you find something special for the new mom in your life!
1. Emulait Starter Kit
The Emulait Starter Kit is the perfect gift for a first-time mom. Our Stater Kit includes everything mom needs to begin her feeding journey with comfort and ease. With our innovative feeding system and accessories, she'll feel supported and confident every step of the way.
2. Lunya’s Luxe Pajamas and Lounge Wear
There’s a lot of lounging around in those early months post-partum, and while we all crave some time on the couch, early motherhood definitely takes that up a level. One way to feel good is to look good, and for this we love Lunya’s gorgeous and indulgent range of silk pajamas and loungewear. It’s a splurge, but we think that everyone deserves a ‘first’ set of luscious loungewear.
3. Anya’s Post-Partum Subscription
New moms will often forget to put themselves first, so they need the people who love them to remember... This unique gift offers moms a set of beautifully crafted products designed to support her transition to motherhood. It includes all-natural and vegan Nipple Balm, Scalp Serum, Body Butter, Recovery Drops and Energy Drops.
4. Bumpsuit
Getting dressed when pregnant can be hard, but getting dressed postpartum can sometimes feel even harder. Your body has changed, you haven’t slept, you’re leaky, your baby is leaky, you shower in snatches of times... Bumpsuit offers moms a versatile wardrobe of everything they need: from underwear, basics for layering, flowing dresses, matching baby carriers, and more, to make looking chic easier and more fun.
5. The Little Pleasures in Life Delivered to Your Inbox or Doorstep
Time, and specifically me-time, are precious commodities in early motherhood. Consider buying the new mom in your life a subscription to something they love. From audiobooks to smoothie subscriptions, online birthing and post-partum support classes and pilates classes, there is literally something for everyone.
6. Portable Quiet Time
When you can't step outside for some quiet time, creating your own is the next-best option. Bose have released stunning headphones (and earbuds) in a deep plum color. Your favorite new mom will love listening to music, podcasts and meditation apps with these, or maybe just savoring the sound-cancelling feature when her little one gets a little loud.
7. Uplifting and Luxurious Scents
Spoil the new mom in your life with the beautiful scent notes of Kai fragrance. Clean, vegan and cruelty-free, these fragrances smell good and are made from pure goodness. Phthalate, paraben, sulfate, phosphate and gluten free. Beyond their perfume selection, check out their body, bath and home scents range.
8. The Gift of Comfort
Whether the new mom you love is pregnant or has her baby in tow already, comfy bras are a blessing... any day! Send an Embrace giftcard her way for the softest premium maternity bras and apparel made from natural fibers.
9. Bulk Up Her Breastmilk Stash
We’re all about honoring and supporting moms on their feeding journey, so Leche’s brilliant service just makes so much sense to us. Leche created an online village to ensure that moms can access the highest quality freeze-dried breastmilk as they need it, offering moms flexibility, convenience and nourishment.
10. Emulait IN MY MOM ERA Cap
This is a fun addition to any gift. Cute and practical, every mom needs a hat that celebrates them.
11. Favorite Daughter’s MOM OF THE YEAR Tee
The perfect reminder that she’s the best, 365 days a year. We love Favorite Daughter’s easy, comfy style – and this tee is the cherry on top.

12. Hands-free Time
This one is easy, and it’s the kind of gift that you can give any day of the year. Offer your favorite new mom an hour of your time so that she can get her nails done or go for a run. Many new moms find it hard to ask for help and support, so stepping in and offering something practical is often the best way to help someone feel seen and loved. Whether you supervise naptime or take baby for a walk, there is no better way to say – I care! When a mom gets this kind of support, she can show up for her baby feeling replenished and loved.
Make this Mother’s Day extra special for all moms, and especially the first-timers! Whatever you buy, giving her that little bit of love and attention will mean the world to her. Feeling seen and supported can be as nourishing as fresh air and healthy food. Happy Mother’s Day!
