Bebe Au Lait Classic Muslin Nursing Covers
This is the perfect gift for any nursing mom. Bebe Au Lait muslin covers are super soft and breathable. With summer months coming, this is the perfect nursing cover to keep baby cool. It also has an open neckline that holds it away from you so you can make eye contact and see your baby easily without having to pull the cover back. I have one and LOVE it!

Recipe Book with Some Humor
If you have a sense of humor, then you will appreciate this recipe book like I do. What the F*@# Should I Make for Dinner?: The Answers to Life’s Everyday Question is definitely a fun way to cook! It’s a bit R-rated but hilarious and the recipes are quite good. If you want a good laugh, this is a fun gift for a mom who loves to cook!

Knock Knock What I Love About Mom Fill In The Love Journal
This could be a really fun and very special keepsake for Mother’s Day. Obviously, it would need to be filled out by Dad or Grandma or an older child, etc but moms love personalized stuff and this journal would be perfect!

I love this shirt set.

Little Goat Sun Baby Carrier Cover
This is a great gift for any mom who loves being outdoors. When babywearing (wearing your baby in a carrier or wrap), keeping them out of the sun can become an issue. A majority fabric is not sun/UV protected and heavy blankets or covers get just too hot. Little Goat Sun Baby Carrier Covers is a lightweight, UPF-50 rated cover that snaps onto your baby carrier (or stroller) to give your baby complete sun protection while staying cool. I love mine! This would be an amazing gift for any mom who loves hiking, running or anything outdoors!

Breast Milk Jewelry By Moms Own Milk
If you haven’t heard of breast milk jewelry, this is an amazing way to preserve this very special, yet short time in a mother and baby’s relationship! Basically, you send a small milk sample off to be made into a piece of jewelry. There are many options and designs to choose from (some companies will even make custom design pieces). You can get rings, pendants, bracelets, etc! This would be an extremely thoughtful and personal gift for any new mom (or seasoned mom!).
You can order your own Breast Milk Jewelry over on Moms Own Milk, here (they ship worldwide!)!
Diamond Cluster Ring
If you are looking for something a bit more traditional, jewelry is always a big win! This diamond cluster ring comes in Rose Gold, Yellow Gold, or White Gold. It is very dainty and delicate and absolutely stunning. This is a timeless piece that is a great way to celebrate the mom in your life!
You can find this amazing, beautiful ring at FerkosFineJewelry on Etsy, here!
Essential Oil Diffuser Dark Wood
Essential Oils are amazing to have and not to mention can leave your house smelling amazing. Having a quality diffuser is a must. The Zen Breeze is a high-quality diffuser that comes with lots of options. You can turn the lights on and off separate from the diffuser and choose from 14 different LED light colors. It is cool-mist so is not hot to the touch. It can run continuously or on a timer. This would be a great gift idea and would be amazing paired with some high-quality oils.

Thank you so much for sharing brilliant and thoughtful Mother’s Day gifting ideas.
Heather Grace says
I am glad you enjoyed the list! Mother’s Day is coming up and I know I need more unique gift ideas =-)
Matthew says
My wife and I have 4 children and I always have trouble finding something for mothers day for our children to give her.
You have some awesome ideas for gifts here that I know she would love, I especially love the cookbook, that really made me laugh and I know my wife would find it hilarious.
I might even get one for my mother for mothers day.
Cheers for the ideas and I have bookmarked this page for future reference.
Heather Grace says
I think your wife and I would get along great… haha The cookbook is a favorite of mine! I think I love it even more that your mom would love it! She sounds like a lot of fun. I am glad you found some possibilities for gifts and thank you for stopping by!
Alice says
These gift ideas for first time moms are really cool! One of our best friends will be celebrating her first mother’s day this year, that’s next month, and we’re planning a surprise party for her.
We were able to organize everything secretly, from the venue to the foods that will be served. We just can’t decide what gifts to give her.
So thank you for these wonderful gift ideas. I like the ultimate spa basket with chamomile and lavender oils but the mommy make up out the door collection is also nice. Hmmm … what do you think?
Heather Grace says
How fun! That is so sweet of you to arrange such a special surprised for your friend! I love both the spa basket and the mommy makeup collection. If I had to choose, I might go with the makeup only because I think in the long run it is something I can use longer and would make my life so much easier. I always neglect my makeup and hair during the week since I’m so busy, so having all those products condensed into just a few would be a huge help! I hope you have an amazing celebration with your friend and thank you so much for stopping by!
