When shopping for a new mom, whether it's for Valentine's Day, her birthday, or just a cute congratulatory gift, it can be easy to just resort to buying cute things for the baby. But you should try to think outside of the box. Really, it's an opportunity to get her something she really needs for herself or is catered toward her self-care. (But okay fine, cute baby presents will also be appreciated!)

"Moms deserve gifts more than the new baby," says Jennifer Nied, Women's Health's fitness editor and mom. "During pregnancy, moms-to-be get allll the attention, but as soon as baby arrives, the focus goes to baby 24/7 for everyone. I found gifts that made my new out-of-control life a bit easier to be the most useful."

Nied notes that things like a meal subscription service, ("so I could eat delicious meals without preparing them"), a giant leak-free straw water bottle to stay hydrated (Stanley or Simple Modern), an elevated soft cotton robe (like Lake Pajamas), or a subscription to a postpartum-friendly workout program (if the new mom is a fitness fan) are awesome ideas for gifts for new moms.

See below for the 57 best new mom and Women's Health editor-approved unique, pampering gifts to give after birth.
