As new moms know, the greatest gift is the precious bundle of joy that also keeps you from getting more than two hours of sleep at a time. The second best gift would be sleep (preferably more than two hours of it), but the third best gift is what we're here to help curate, and that's well, actual gifts!

If you or someone close to you is celebrating your first Mother's Day as a card-carrying member of the mama club, you're probably looking for something that might offer a moment of relaxing time amidst the hubbub of caring for an infant: Perhaps that's in the form of a silky robe, some luxe skin care, or some noise-canceling headphones, for that matter.

With many shipping times delayed due to stores being closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it doesn't hurt to get a start on Mother's Day shopping ahead of the May 10 holiday. Ahead, find out 28 unique and useful gifts for any first-time moms.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
