New Mom Gift. Lots of great gift ideas for a new mom after delivering a baby. Great for bringing to the hospital or when home with a newborn.
Last year, my cousin had a baby, and I wanted to do something special for her when the new baby arrived. I had already attended her baby shower, so I had purchased a gift specifically for the baby.
From experience, I know when people come to see you after the baby is born, they often bring a gift for the baby – a cute outfit or stuffed animal. I wanted to do something just for her to make her feel special and maybe make it a little easier on her when she got home from the hospital.

Ideas for What to include:

- Headbands
- Wine
- Hand Sanitizer
- Dry Shampoo
- Aloe Infused Socks
- Gum
- Chocolate
- Face Wash Wipes
Body cream or lotion: great for frequent hand washing.
Chapstick: keep lips from drying out.
Headbands: great for pulling back your hair when you don’t have time to fix it.
Wine: no explanation is needed here. It was a long nine months!
Dry shampoo: perfect for quick touch-ups when you haven’t had time to shower.
Aloe-infused socks: are warm and fuzzy and keep your feet looking beautiful.
Gum: sometimes you don’t have time to brush your teeth.
Chocolate: being a mom is hard.
Face wash wipes: quick to use and can be used to remove makeup or wipe off baby spit up instead of washing your face at night.
I found almost all the items at my local Dollar Tree, and I purchased a few of the items from the grocery store.
Wrap It Up
I packaged everything in a cute tote bag I found at Dollar Tree. I thought a tote bag would be more beneficial than a gift bag that would get thrown out.

I created a tag using a pre-cut light blue tag and some clear acrylic stamps. I attached it to the bag with a glittered clothespin.
