A Modern Baby Monitor
Millennial moms can kiss outdated audio-only baby monitors goodbye, because the latest high-tech gear makes supervision a breeze! To help Mom keep a watchful eye on her bundle of joy, give her a baby monitor that allows for audio and visual surveillance. Whether Mom is back at work or just in the other room, she'll love having the option to check in on her child 24/7.

Eco-Friendly Diapers
No new parent wants to swaddle their child in subpar diapers with mystery ingredients and synthetic materials. Instead, millennial moms keep their babies suited up in hypoallergenic, eco-friendly diapers with patterns that are downright stylish. Gift your favorite eco-conscious mama a set of printed diapers that will keep her baby clean and dry without unnecessary chemicals.

A Soothing Bedtime Toy
A soundly snoozing baby is the best gift any new parent can ask for, and if cutting-edge technology helps achieve that mission, all the better! Millennial parents will flip for multitasking, sleep-inducing toys like this one that serve double duty by soothing their tots and acting as a bedtime snuggling pal. After all, what baby (or adult, for that matter) wouldn't love to fall asleep beneath a constellation projection as a chorus of outdoor sounds gently serenades them?

An Entertaining Travel Toy
Millennial moms live an on-the-go lifestyle, and what better way to promote family time than by taking baby along for the adventure? If your bestie loves to hustle, give her the gift of a perfectly behaved miniature travel companion with the help of an engaging toy that attaches to baby's car seat and stimulates their senses.

Baby's First Piano
Millennial moms love to nurture their child's burgeoning talents, and what better way than with baby's first piano? Music has been shown to cultivate mental development in kids, and the activity makes for excellent mom-and-baby bonding time.

A Playful Print
Instead of opting for traditional pink nursery trimmings for baby girls and blue for baby boys, millennial moms adore decor that is gender-neutral and wildly stylish. To amp up the design of any mom's nursery, gift an imaginative canvas that will add a pop of interest to a bare wall.

Darling Duds
Ensure Mom has the best-dressed baby in all the land — or, at the very least, on Instagram — with a matching ensemble that highlights just how adorable they are. Choose a matching set that's stylish and comfortable and a perfect combination for baby's first athleisure outfit.

A Multitasking Tummy Time Toy
Tummy time may be designed to help babies strengthen their muscles, but millennial moms love to maximize the daily ritual with fun and educational props. Give Mom a colorful and multifunctional tummy time prop that will encourage her baby to learn and grow while comfortably cradling their back if they choose to sit.
