Becoming a new parent comes with all sorts of firsts: the first time your baby recognizes your face and smiles at you, the first time your baby sleeps through the night (which means you get to sleep through the night), and the first Mother’s Day celebration. Whether your partner is pregnant with your child or you’re already nursing a newborn at home, that first milestone is one you’ll both remember for the rest of your lives. As your child gets older, they might be the one to pick out the best Mother’s Day gift for your wife or make her breakfast in bed. But for that first one, it’s really up to you to make this day special for her as a new mom.

The best first Mother’s Day gifts are pampering and relaxing, seeing as those new to parenthood are severely lacking in things like sleep and self-care. While gifts for the baby are nice, the gift you give to a new mom for her first Mother’s Day should primarily be for her. Remember, it’s Mother’s Day, not Baby’s Day. Treat the new parent to a gift she wouldn’t give herself—one that makes the long, exhausting days of caring for a newborn a little bit easier. In addition to a present, you may also want to give her the gift of an extra hour of sleep. Perhaps even a few hours alone to herself while you take the baby to visit the grandparents or to the park. She could use the break (and frankly, you could too), but it’s something she likely wouldn’t suggest herself.

Looking for the best gifts for the new mom in your life? We’ve rounded up an assortment of self-care essentials and sentimental gifts she’ll love, from back massagers to bathrobes and everything in between. Read on for our top picks for the best first Mother’s Day gifts.

    Witching Hour Scented Candle

    For moms that spend a lot of time in dark rooms trying to either get their babies to fall asleep or keep them that way, a scented candle makes all the difference. We love all of Brooklinen’s scents, but especially Witching Hour, which is a combination of calming amber and patchouli.

    Fizzi Sparkling Water Maker

    Breastfeeding moms are told to drink plenty of water to help with their supply. They’re the ones providing all the hydration to their little ones, so the more water they drink, the better it is for the both of them.

    Skin to skin contact is very important for a newborn’s development, and this breathable newborn carrier provides that close contact while also allowing mom to be hands-free and mobile. There’s no wrapping, tying or knotting like other newborn slings. Just slip the baby in the ‘cross and hug’ closure for maximum bonding time.

    This maxi dress is easy and comfortable to wear inside or outside the house. The adjustable straps make it easy to nurse while the flowing skirt is flattering on mom’s changing body.

    Quarter Caf Ground Low Acid Coffee

This one from Spanx features easy clip-down cups and a stretchable fabric that grows with you.

    A photo book capturing her baby’s first few months is a great gift she’ll appreciate now and later. Those first few months are a blur, so this is a great way to capture and remember the memories she’s probably already started to forget.

    For a new mom running on little to no sleep, a cooling ice roller is a great way to decrease puffiness and refresh the skin. Keep in the fridge at all times for a satisfyingly chill wake-up call.
