It can sound like a cliché, but it’s true—all moms are superheroes, especially new moms or moms-to-be. Creating new life is no small feat, after all, and can often prove to be the ultimate test of endurance and patience, which is why they deserve all the extra love and pampering they can get during this time, and then some more. While showering your time, care and attention on them is of utmost value, we’re sure a thoughtful gift or two can go a long way when it comes to boosting their mood. Treat them to a luxurious skincare set for some quality me-time, or pick out an indulgent hair styling tool they’ve always had their eyes on—either way, beauty gifts are the ultimate way to make them feel appreciated.
Whether you’re picking out a gift for a friend who just announced their pregnancy, looking for the ultimate baby shower gift set, or simply selecting a treat for an expecting partner, here are our top gifting recommendations for moms-to-be and new moms.
