Whether celebrating Mother's Day for the first time or simply soaking in moments with the little one, becoming a mom is one of life's most special milestone. While it can often be difficult for new moms to prioritize self care and mental health during this major life change, the loved ones in her life (aka: you!) should show as much love and support as possible. In this guide, we’re sharing our favorite presents for pregnant women and the best gifts for new moms that they'll be grateful to receive this year.

As we launched our investigation on the best gifts for new moms, we considered two primary categories: must-have items for her and the best baby products. So, you’ll find quite a range of options, from trusty postpartum hair supplements and cozy items like a plush bathrobe to next-gen baby tech that makes for a perfect baby shower gift or addition to a Mother's Day basket. Plus, we also snuck in a couple sentimental ideas that can help her track her baby’s life moments, as well as some cute clothing for her little one.

Our Favorite Gifts for New Moms in 2024

While you consider your choices here, remember that your loved one probably has a baby registry, too. You can use that as a reference for inspiration and to make sure you don’t purchase something she’s already been gifted. Ahead, we found the 75 best gifts for new moms that are sure to make their lives easier in 2024. All of these top-rated products are backed by rave reviews from soon-to-be and experienced moms—including our very own Country Living editors!

Ayla Fanny Pack

We love a good fanny pack, but most are far too small to fit all the essentials moms need at all times. Ayla & Co. is a mom-run brand that makes bags designed for motherhood and beyond, so you can rest assured that this fanny pack has tons of space and pockets. "Carrying a regular purse and a diaper bag while trying to hold a baby is just too much," Commerce Editor Hannah Jones says. "I use this as both a fanny pack and a sling bag so I don't have to worry about keeping my purse on my shoulder while trying to keep my wiggly baby in my arms. It also has plenty of room for travel wipes, a diaper or two, and my phone, keys, and wallet."
