But first, a quick tip: If you're new to the world of baby gift-giving (or even if you're a pro), consider helping that new mom set up an Amazon Baby Registry. It's super easy—just hit the "Create a Baby Registry" button at the top of the page, follow the simple on-screen instructions, and she's all set. This way, she can keep track of all the thoughtful purchases for her precious bundle, which is especially handy for sending those essential thank-yous later. (Similarly, giving the gift of Amazon Prime is a godsend for new parents!)

The Play Gym

This beloved sensory gym is a favorite thanks to its five Montessori-inspired development zones that reveal or conceal to prevent overstimulation. With organic ball and teether toys, it's perfect for promoting brain and motor-skill development—oh, and it looks cute in just about any spot in a new mom's home.

Wrap the new arrival in pure comfort and whimsical yet sophisticated designs. Made of 100 percent certified-organic cotton, this blanket is soft, safe, and oh-so darling. Plus, Pehr is a female-founded, female-led company committed to ethical manufacturing.

Embrace Cozy Newborn Essentials Baby Carrier Wrap

The grande dame of baby carriers, this one is easy to use, with no complicated wrapping or tying involved. It's designed to keep both baby and parent cool and comfortable with its breathable fabric. No exaggeration: It's cloud-like.
