11 Postpartum Gifts Moms Will Actually Want

With a newborn, the last thing anyone wants to be concerned with is doing their hair. This Floral Turban ($58) from Free People keeps the hair off the face while still feeling pretty.

After not being able to drink for 40 weeks, many moms will appreciate a bottle of wine to help relax after a long day. This fun and quirky Cheers Confetti Stemless Wine Glass ($12) makes that beverage even more enjoyable.

The postpartum body changes so quickly that it's hard for clothes to keep up. Since a lot of a new mom's day will be spent in pajamas, she may as well have a set that keeps her cozy and adapts to her needs. This Everly Grey During & After 5-Piece Maternity Sleepwear Set ($98) comes with a coordinating gown for the newborn.

Not that a lot of cooking is going to happen in those first few weeks, but having easy, ready-to-go groceries will make a huge difference when it comes to household stresses. Companies like HelloFresh and Blue Apron do most of the work for you, so all you or your partner has to do is complete a few easy steps to make sure you eat well in order to focus on that baby.

This Harry & David Charcuterie and Cheese Assortment ($80) is a great postpartum gift. After delivering my son, one of the things I was definitely ready for was some of those foods I had to abstain from for far too long.

For the nursing mama, help them soothe their chapped nipples with Earth Mama Angel Baby Natural Nipple Butter ($13).

Newborns aren't known for sleeping long hours or for keeping a regular schedule. Consequently, there's a lot of down time spent feeding the new baby. Give the gift of a subscription service to help get your new mama through the long nights.

Making it easy for a mom to read and watch TV during those midnight feedings is also a great way to go. The Fire 7 ($50) ensures that she can do just that.

This should go without saying, but giving the gift of coffee with this Starbucks Gift Card ($25) to extremely tired new parents is a sure hit.

New parents can feel like their whole world has stopped spinning, but chores still have a way of piling up. Offering to help clean, do some laundry, or hiring someone else is seriously the best gift money can buy.

The postpartum body is a wondrous thing, but it also can be kind of itchy and dry. JR Watkins Unscented Skin Calming Lotion ($10) helps soothe changing skin without potentially bothersome scents.
