Blue Nile, Four Prong Basket Solitaire Lab Grown Diamond Pendant In 14K White Gold
On Sale 40% off

$492 Buy Now

As someone whose ring size grew when she was pregnant, I’d honestly advise against getting the new mom in your life a ring and opt for a necklace. And if you want a luxe diamond necklace without spending thousands, you should look into lab-grown diamond options. It’s physically the same as traditional diamonds, only more eco- and budget-friendly. I personally have my husband shop from Blue Nile for every event because I trust the quality, and it’s a price we can afford. Plus? Every piece is stunning. I’m currently eyeing this gorgeous diamond necklace that’s simple enough to go with every single outfit, yet shiny enough to make me feel special and loved.

Blue Nile is best known for their lab-grown diamonds, but they have a huge variety of jewelry pieces for all tastes.

Vegamour GRO+ Advanced Foundation Kit
On Sale 21% off

$99 Buy Now

Nearly every person who gives birth loses a shocking amount of hair a few months after giving birth. And no matter how many times I read or was told this would happen, it still came as a surprise to me. Clumps of hair was falling out in the shower and into my brush, but I was thankful that I had Vegamour’s GRO+ Advanced Foundation Kit to help treat my scalp and stimulate hair growth. And it works, too. Now that I’m nearly eight months postpartum, I have so many baby hairs sprouting!
Colorescience Brush-On SPF

Colorescience, Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield SPF 50

$69 Buy Now

Sunscreen is *so* important, and while I always remember to put SPF on my daughter, I always forget myself. Because, #momlife. To make life easier, I’ll put this brush-on powder sunscreen in my bag, so if I do forget, I can always apply later. This is a practical, not-so-cute gift, but it’s one she’ll be thankful for, especially with summer coming up.
Wonderbly Book

Wonderbly First Mother’s Day for Mommy & Me

$40 Buy Now

I’m such a sucker for these personalized books! This one is a storybook that you can craft for the first-time mama in your life, and customize everything from how mom and baby look, cover style, and dedication. The rest of it is kind of a general Hallmark story, but you get 32 pages, and it’s printed and dispatched in 3-4 days. The story, from the site: “Quite simply, it’s a gift book designed to properly mark a mom and baby’s first Mother’s Day together. A baby will enjoy a thousand little firsts with Mom: steps, stories, singsongs. Written from baby to Mommy, this book is an adorable way for baby to say: ‘Thank you, Mommy, for all these incredible firsts. I love you, too.'” SO CUTE.

Motherhood is lonely. And sometimes boring. Which is why a spicy, smutty book makes for a good gift. ACOTAR is a fantasy series centered around a human woman named Feyre who falls in love with a sexy fairy man king and gets involved in his fairy business in a land called Prythian. Yes, I’ve been reading this series. Yes, it’s just the escape I needed when my brain needs a break from nursery rhymes and Ms. Rachel.

Christian Louboutin Tote Bag

Image Credit: Nordstrom

Christian Louboutin Large Cabata Soft Leather Tote Bag

$1590 Buy Now

Just because she’s a mom now, doesn’t make her any less stylish. For me, the most doable way to still show off my personal style was my bag rotation (since most of my clothing doesn’t fit me these days), so I invested in a few new handbags. One that I’m personally eyeing is this Christian Louboutin large soft leather tote. It’s gigantic, so it’ll actually hold your laptop, baby wipes, keys, phone, snacks, etc. The removable pouch-pocket is handy for the smaller stuff, like your lip balm. In terms of shopping for lux goods, I like to buy stuff from Nordstrom, because the returns process is so stress-free.
Keys Soulcare Body Lotion

Keys Soulcare Sacred Body Lotion

$26.00 Buy Now On Amazon

Pre-pregnancy, I never really had to use lotion. Post-pregnancy? My skin is a constant desert if I’m not slathering myself in some kind of hydrating goo. What’s really nice about Keys Sacred Body Lotion is that it offers intense moisture while instantly absorbing—so you can apply all over without any transfer to your clothing. The smell is clean, but subtle. It’s been my go-to all season long and I love how supple it makes my legs and arms feel.
Piglet in Bed Duvet Cover

Piglet in Bed Honey Gingham Linen Blend Duvet Cover

$229+ Buy Now

Bed is my sanctuary. My safe space. Where I can finally catch up in five minutes of reading, or TV, or journaling. I try to make it feel as luxurious and nourishing for my soul as possible, so I tend to justify pricier bedding. One of my favorite additions is this Piglet in Bed Honey Gingham linen duvet cover, which is sturdy enough for me, my husband, and two dogs, easy to wash and dry, looks bright and springy, and oh-so soft. Piglet in Bed has lots of cozy bed and home offerings, but this is my current fave.
Kosas Revealer Concealer

Kosas Revealer Concealer

$32 Buy Now

Hyped by celebs and beauty editors alike, the Kosas Revealer Concealer is loved for its ultra creamy formula and pigmented coverage. I’ve been using this since I was pregnant and stopped getting my normal eight hours of sleep (RIP). It covers the purple-y hue under my eyes and makes me look more alert. It comes in a wide range of shades and will last you forever! Highly recommend this gift to all the tired mamas (AKA, all of us).
Laneige Glaze Craze Tinted Lip Serum

Laneige Glaze Craze Tinted Lip Serum

$22 Buy Now

Laneige may be celebrated most for its Lip Sleeping Mask lip balm , but its tinted lip serum is the hydrating, tinted gloss you need to add to your roster of lip products. I honestly love this product so much—it’s one of those lippies you can pull from your purse while driving, swipe, and instantly give yourself a pop of color that’s still nourishing for the lips. It’s high-shine and smells like dessert. Easily one of the best glossies on the market right now.
Lululemon Restfeed Slides

Lululemon, Restfeel Slides

$58 Buy Now

Recovery sandals feel incredible when she’s been on her feet all day and she wants something cushion-y, light, and easy to slip into (that aren’t necessarily fuzzy slippers—especially for summer). Lululemon makes the best recovery footwear around, and I also love how pretty they look, too.
L’Occitane Hand Cream Trio

L’Occitane Hand Cream Trio

$33.00 Buy Now On Amazon

Ice Roller

$8 Buy Now On Amazon

Not only is this ice roller heaven sent for facial de-puffing, but you can also use it on clogged ducts! If she’s breastfeeding or pumping, odds are she’ll deal with a clogged duct or two—and a cold face roller is a nice hack to get the inflammation down and relieve pain. We love a practical two-fer.
40oz Stanley

Stanley 40 oz Stainless Steel H2.0 FlowState Quencher Tumbler

$45 Buy Now

Moms are THIRSTY. Like, always. Whether she’s breastfeeding or not, she could always use a vessel to hold her water, so get her a pretty Stanley water bottle, because she probably isn’t able to justify the price tag on her own.
Cozy Earth Pajamas

Cozy Earth Women’s Bamboo Stretch-Knit Long Sleeve Pajama Set
On Sale 30% off

$150 Buy Now

These were the pajamas I took with me in my hospital go-bag back when I was pregnant, and they’re still my go-to. The bamboo knit is supremely soft, the elastic waistband is somehow more forgiving than any other pair of sweatpants I know, and they’re lightweight enough to be comfortable even in the dead of summer. A loungewear and sleeping must, IMO.

As a new mom with maybe fifteen minutes a night to spare, this device has been a game-changer that fakes an in-office visit. My complexion feels more supple, skin more taut, and fine lines dramatically reduced. It really is worth the hype, and I’ve already texted all my girlfriends about it.

On Sale 20% off

$239.00 Buy Now On Amazon

When I tell you this thing has replaced literally all of my other tools, I’m not joking.

I recommend this over the Dyson Airwrap to all of my mom and non-mom friends because it’s easy to use, sturdy, and gives you a baller blowout.

Touchland Hand Sanitizer

Image Credit: Touchland

Touchland Premium Hand Sanitizer (Rosewater)

$16 Buy Now

Once you become a mom, it’s unclear when you’re not washing your hands. My hands are perpetually dry because I’m pretty much always washing or sanitizing my hands, either because I’ve changed a poopy diaper, or I want to avoid spreading germs to my baby. It helps to have a luxe hand sanitizer that not only smells divine (like this Touchland one in “Rosewater”) but actually leaves your skin soft and supple (instead of parched and ravaged). Plus, all the cool kids love Touchland.
Fresh Sends x Tubby Todd Bouquet

Fresh Sends, The New Baby Send

$129 Buy Now

A gift for Mom and Baby? Adorable. This includes a stunning bouquet and Tubby Todd’s All Over Ointment (which she can definitely swipe—I certainly do), and Sweet Cheeks Diaper Paste. This one is definitely better for the brand new mom, as most parents have these essentials and then some by like, month two. But if you know a mama who’s in that newborn bubble, this will make for the sweetest Mother’s Day or Just Because gift.
Bogg Bag

Bodily Lactation Latte

Bodily, Organic Lactation Latte

$38 Buy Now

If the new mom in your life is breastfeeding, it’s very possible that this endeavor has taken over her whole life. Feeding on demand is no joke, and keeping up your supply is a full-time job. This lactation support latte was developed with a lactation expert in order to help boost that supply—and it tastes good, too! Bodily also has really, really comfortable bras (my favorite is the Everything Bra, which I wore throughout my entire pregnancy and postpartum).
Carbon 38 Leggings

Carbon38, High Rise Leggings in Melt

$108 Buy Now

I’m eight months postpartum, and it’s still a struggle forcing myself back into my jeans. Not because I don’t fit in them (although that is true), but because the idea of not being in soft, body-sculpting and hugging leggings seems insane. I keep going back to these leggings over and over—they’re even lighter and softer than the Aligns. They’re so perfect for all-day wear, and make me feel snatched, as the kids may or may not say these days.
Hill House The Kimmy Nap Dress

Hill House, Kimmy Nap Dress

$228 Buy Now

One month postpartum, I needed an outfit that wasn’t just PJs or leggings—something put together that would make me feel cute and alive again. Hill House was how I achieved this style goal. The Nap Dress is super stretchy, soft, and long—it really is like a nightgown you can totally wear outside. I’m digging the Kimmy Nap Dress and its more understated ruffles.
Kulfi Badi Lash Mascara

Kulfi, Badi Lash Mascara

$26 Buy Now

There’s an endless supply of mascaras on the market (and thanks to my job, I get to test a bunch of ’em), but this one outshines them all. It gives you longer, thicker lashes in one swipe, providing easy glam that’s smudge and flake-proof. I am *obsessed* with this mascara—I think it may just be my favorite of all time, and I don’t say that lightly. Why is it on my list of gifts for Mom’s first Mother’s Day? Because new moms don’t have time for a 10-step makeup routine! They want shit that works and makes them feel transformed, which this formula does.
Prada Moisturizing Lip Balm

Prada Moisturizing Lip Balm

$50 Buy Now

This “your lips but better” shade from Prada is the magic that Sabrina Carpenter promised when she first shared her lipstick go-to. With one swipe, you get the most perfect, rosy pop of color while simultaneously hydrating dry lips (thanks, hormones and breastfeeding). I carry this with me wherever I go (it’s especially clutch when I want to take a selfie with the baby but want to give my lips a bit more color, fast!).
Phlur Rose Whip Perfume

Phlur, Rose Whip Perfume

$99 Buy Now

Phlur fragrances have never failed me—each and every one is deliciously unique, warm, and universally flattering. But I’ve been loving their latest launch, Rose Whip, which is a floral scent totally reimagined with notes of cashmere, pink pepper, and red currant. Scents are personal, but you can’t go wrong with this one.
Amika Dry Shampoo

Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo Paradise Duo

In this two-pack, you get the brand’s iconic “Perk Up” dry shampoo, along with the Ellis Brooklyn perfume edition (although the original smells fantastic, too). A way to skip a wash *and* smell good? Heck yes.

Rifle Paper Co. Travel Cosmetics Case

$56 Buy Now

She probably already has diaper bags galore, so get her something just for her and her beauty goodies when she’s on the go. I spotted this gorgeous Rifle Paper Co. one that has tons of pockets for storage and lay-flat design. The nylon material is easier to clean, so no matter the spillage, she’ll be able to wipe it right off (because that’s life, lately).
