As a new mom (or a mom-to-be), those first couple of Mother's Days are really special. You're still basking in the glow of new motherhood, but you're also really tired. And everywhere you turn, there's baby stuff (which is so so cute, don't get me wrong), but it's everywhere. It's definitely not easy for new moms to take a minute for themselves and indulge in a self-care moment.

In order to pamper and appreciate the new moms this Mother's Day, I've drawn upon my own experience as a new mom, talked to the wise moms I know, and, of course, scoured the internet for the best gifts for these amazing people. And, while baby stuff is so very cute (as we've established), these are the things that have a mom-centric focus.

So keep on scrolling for the best Mother's Day gifts for new moms and new moms-to-be. They may not be an hour of sleep (what new moms really need), but they're a close second.

Until I had a new baby, I didn't realize how much I needed a pair of AirPods. They make it easy to listen to a podcast or audiobook during late night feedings, listen to my little one through the baby monitor app while I clean around the house, listen to music on stroller walks, and more. Plus, they're easy to sync with your phone and come with a charging case that gives you 24 hours of listening time.

After having a baby, a mom's body goes through a lot of changes and clothes may not fit like they used to. That's why these Athleta joggers are so perfect. They're buttery soft, sweat-wicking, and breathable for lounging around the house or running an errand.

This soft sweatshirt is fully customizable so you can write anything in the cute heart in the front. I printed the names of my two sons, but you can also go with "Mom," "Mama," or "The Best Person in the World."

The experienced moms in my mom group all swear by these slippers. They're made of 100% wool, which keeps feet warm and dry while also absorbing sweat, and feature a sole of soft calfskin. You can easily slip your feet into them (with or without socks), and they come in 12 different colors.

Since we're talking footwear, these shoes are perfect for summer. They're breathable, easy to slip on, and come in so many colors. And while they're designed for active recovery for athletes, they're also ideal for busy moms who are on their feet all the time. I have a pair and they're so cool and comfortable.

OK, one more footwear pick. These shoes are designed for you to slip your foot in hands-free. A bonus for moms with their hands full.

This 14k gold filled necklace is an elegant way for moms to keep their little ones close. Each necklace features a delicately drawn flower representing a month of the year, a simple reminder of the baby's birth month. And the discs are stackable, so as the mom's "garden" grows, you can add more flowers for more children. It also comes in silver and rose gold, with 16- to 18-inch and 20- to 22-inch necklace size options.

For the mom who doesn't want to worry about what she's going to wear, this short-sleeve jumpsuit is ideal. It's available in 25 colors, sizing from Small to X-Large, and one reviewer reported, "It's very flattering on this mom bod, and it's perfect for nursing in with the convenient button for easy access."

When you're in a new mom haze, comfort is the name of the game, and there's nothing better than this super soft robe. It's made of plush fleece with an adjustable waistband and two front pockets, perfect for storing a bottle, spit up cloth, and more.

Those early baby days go by so fast, help new moms keep track of those precious moments with this low-maintenance baby memory book. It covers a child's life from the womb to 18 years, and each year can be completed in an hour, according to the brand. There's room for photos and notes, plus 254 pages of guided prompts, which are easy to fill in and won't leave moms feeling overwhelmed.

This pocket-sized photo printer is a great companion for the baby book above. It connects to your phone via Bluetooth and prints out high-quality 2 x 3-inch photos in seconds that you can stick and frame around your home or give to relatives. Photo paper isn't included, but you can get it here.

This Mama Bear necklace is great for moms who want a subtle Mother's Day piece of jewelry. Not only is it a symbol of her strength and power, it's also perfect for layering with other accessories and goes with everything.

When it says that this 5-pack of underwear is "super soft," that is 110% true. It's made of viscose from bamboo and features a boxer brief design that makes a postpartum mom feel covered and supported.

Take comfort to the next level with these Kindred Bravely pajamas. They're made of stretchy, ultra-soft material with a wide waistband for support, and come in five colors. If you're in a colder climate, they can even double as long underwear under your clothes. Best of all, there's a nursing panel on the side for easy feeding.

Made of a stain-resistant exterior, this chic diaper bag is easy to clean, has plenty of pockets for wipes, diapers, and other essentials, and doesn't look like your typical diaper bag (I have this bag at home and it's gorgeous). Plus, it comes with a removable pouch and changing mat and straps for attaching it to your stroller.

Since we're talking about "mom bags that don't look like mom bags," this vegan leather stroller bag is a chic and stylish option. It easily attaches to any stroller and has plenty of room for spit cloths, wipes, your coffee, phone, and more.

This variety pack of face masks features ingredients like aloe, peppermint, green tea, shea butter, and more, to help brighten, hydrate, calm, and moisturize all skin types. They've got 21,000+ 5-star reviews and can make perfect stocking stuffers, too.

With a wide selection of colors and sizes, this TikTok-famous tumbler (40-ounce size) is just what new moms need to stay hydrated. It's stainless steel and insulated to keep cold drinks cold, hot drinks hot, and iced beverages iced for hours.

In the midst of new mom duties, it's hard to have a hot cup of coffee. This smart mug makes that a reality. It has a long-lasting battery that can keep your drinks between 120 and 145 degrees Fahrenheit for up to 80 minutes on a full charge, and connects to an app for you to program presets, customizations, and more.

If you're going to buy any candle for the mom in your life, you have to buy this candle. It's in a trendy, matte container, smells so subtle and luxe, and burns evenly (no tunneling here). I have a ton of candles and this one is by far my favorite.
