I remember when one of my friends became a new mom, she said that all the gifts she received were for the baby. Although she was touched by the consideration of family and friends for the baby gifts, she couldn’t help but feel invisible. Buying gifts for a new mom can help her to feel like herself again.
I’ve thought about this ever since and have always considered the new mom when visiting her after the birth of her newborn.
Many new moms are completely focused on their baby and their new role as carer and protector of that child.
Often, new moms are riddled with fears and anxiety about whether they are good enough and if they are screwing up. They worry about how they will navigate motherhood and balance their lives.
With a variety of issues that new mothers have to deal with, they can sometimes lose themselves.
It’s usually the smallest and simplest things that tend to remind you of who you of the person you once were, and a considerate gift from a loved one is one of them.
If you’re shopping for gifts for a new mom, we have the 20 best gifts for a new mom to make her feel like herself again.

Skin Care Gifts for New Mom
African Black Soap has been a staple in my beauty regime since my friend put me on to it over 12 years ago. The soap works wonders for people with sensitive skin, it removes all the junk from your face while being gentle on your skin. Black soap is multi-use so you can use it for showers and in homemade DIY shampoos!
2. Witch Hazel
Another one of my favourites is witch hazel which works as an astringent toner. It removes toxins and excess oil from the skin.
3. Elizabeth Arden 8-Hour Cream
The Elizabeth Arden 8-hour Cream has been my go-to ever since it was gifted to me by a dear friend years ago. Unlike many lip balms or moisturizers, it works well all year round and, it’s multi-use!
