22 Postpartum Gifts We Love for New Moms
These gifts for new parents are a thoughtful way to show you care.
Expecting parents are often showered with baby gifts, especially right after their new bundle of joy arrives. And while gifts for the baby are wonderful, a present for new parents — especially mom — can be a thoughtful way to show you care. These next sleep-deprived months can be tough for new mothers and gifting them a little something to make their lives a bit easier is certainly appreciated. Nourish your favorite new mom with good-for-you food and gifts, and a few treats, of course. These are some of the best postpartum gifts for new moms and parents we love to send.
Give the adorable onesie to the baby and let mom keep the good stuff: five pints of Jeni’s ice cream. Enough to share (or keep all to herself!) this gift will keep her freezer stocked for emergency late-night scoops of flavors like Buttermilk Birthday Cake and Milkiest Chocolate.
Most brand-new moms aren’t whipping up fresh pasta, but when it comes to their door and ready to indulge in minutes, that’s a different story. Choose from a variety of pastas like Canestri a La Vodka or Bucatini Cacio E Pepe (with plenty of seasonal options, too) to be delivered once, monthly or weekly.
This delightful granola is actually crafted by a doula who used to bring it to her postpartum clients, so you can feel confident it’s made with all the good-for-you stuff new moms need. This gift box trio with packaging that will look cute on any counter is perfect for the new mom who needs a little extra energy any time of day. With flavors like Strawberry and Salty Peanut and Sour Cherry and Pistachio Rose, with ingredients like hemp, chia and flax seeds, this will be a winner long past the first few months with baby.
There’s nothing worse than realizing you are out of coffee, especially when late nights stretch into early mornings.

Each month a new bag of single-origin coffee will land on her doorstep complete with tasting notes and brewing tips.
When a baby is born, moms don’t often prioritize themselves, but this book carves out the reasons to do so and gives them easy ways to do it. Filled with simple and nourishing recipes, plus easy-to-make body salves and soaks, this will help mom prioritize her body and mind.
If mom couldn’t wait to have sushi once her baby arrived, she’ll love this DIY kit that doubles as an at-home date night and dinner. The kit comes with everything you need to make delicious rolls filled with favorites like spicy scallops, tuna, salmon and hamachi with instructions on how to make it all.
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. It’s for everyone, and especially new moms. Why not make it super easy with this 40-ounce tumbler that she can take everywhere from the car to her nightstand? The drinks will stay cold all day long and for two days with ice.
A rite of passage for a new mom? Learning how to snack one-handed. This basket is filled with snacks that are easy to eat and nutrient dense. She can snack on fresh fruit, roasted chickpeas, seeds and plenty more to stay energized without the crash.
You don’t need to be breastfeeding to want to devour these lactation cookies from female-founded Rebel Daughter Cookies, but if you are, ingredients like brewer’s yeast, oats and whole ground flax may be helpful on the journey. The cookie box comes with the Motherloaded — a chocolate chunk cookie meets cocoa krispy treat — the birthday cake-flavored Birthday Suit, and the Got Milk?, an oatmeal chocolate chunk delight.
Leaving the house to go to the grocery store can be difficult in the first few weeks and a gift card to Instacart will let her pick out the groceries she needs for the house and have them land on her doorstep hours later. No need to load up the car with a diaper bag in tow.
New parenthood is hard and sometimes it’s super important to hear “You’re doing great!” The fact that this package is filled with 12 flavors of Baked by Melissa mini cupcakes, including chocolate chip pancake and mint cookie, doesn’t hurt either.

There’s nothing like a home cooked meal, but life postpartum is hectic and exhausting and it’s hard to find the time to get dinner on the table. This gift is five comforting meals including lasagna and meatloaf, that take minimal effort to heat up and we have a feeling there is enough for leftovers, too.
Who could blame mom for wanting just a little something sweet to nibble on while she takes care of the baby? This gift box is filled with a mix of delicious Swedish candy from gummies to licorice. Mom can grab a piece whenever she has a free minute and a hankering for just a bite of sweetness.
Having a baby is no small feat and it’s certainly worth a "Cheers!" or two. This bottle is perfect for popping open in celebration and makes a nice addition to any bar or countertop until she’s ready to imbibe.
Waking up at all hours of the night definitely induces weird cravings. This box has mom covered for whatever she might need. From popcorn to pretzels, tomato soup to cheddar cheese, and plenty of sweet treats, she can dream up any snack concoction she wants. Plus, there’s a cute bib for baby too.
Making meals as simple as possible is great for any parent, especially a brand-new mom. This Tovala Smart Oven Pro gives moms all the benefits of baking, toasting, broiling, reheating and air frying. Gift her the oven with a few of Tovala’s pre-made meals to get her started. Once she’s getting more sleep, she can use the smart oven to scan many of her favorite frozen groceries (Trader Joe’s anyone?) designed to heat and serve, which is especially awesome in those early days.
Moments to yourself may be fewer and far between as a brand-new mom, but taking a moment with a good cup of tea and maybe a bath can be pretty relaxing.
