Shower a new mother with love on her first Mother’s Day by purchasing special gifts she’ll love. Whether you want to want something unique for the baby, women’s fragrances or bath and shower products she can pamper herself with, books or photo gifts, a few tips can help you select the perfect Mother’s Day gifts to celebrate. Read on to find the best gifts for her first Mother’s Day.

Buying Mother’s Day Gifts:

Buy fragrances and bath products she’ll love.

Help a new mom take time for herself with her favorite bath and shower products and women’s fragrances. Fill a basket with pretty soaps, scrubs, body washes, lotions and perfumes and tie it with raffia or ribbon for a polished look. An inflatable bath pillow, soft washcloths and massaging sponges are also great Mother’s Day gifts.

Choose clothes and gear for the new baby.

Soft baby blankets, plush stuffed animals, bib and burp-cloth sets and little slippers are just a few options for heartfelt baby gifts. To keep the focus on Mom, however, look for baby books and journals where she can record thoughts and memories and include photographs and mementos from the baby’s birth.

Purchase a photo frame.

For an extra special surprise, find a nice photo of Mom and her baby. Have it printed in black-and-white or sepia for a timeless look, and then crop and frame it in an elegant photo frame. Photo gifts will impress any new mother and become a treasured piece she can display in her home for years to come. For other Mother’s Day ideas, create photo collages in a photo editing program and frame them. Or purchase a digital photo frame that can hold plenty of family pictures.

Read between the lines.

Give a new mom books by her favorite writer or ask her friends which genre she likes best to find wonderful Mother’s Day gifts she can get lost in. Handmade journals and memory books also make great presents, as do craft and hobby books and cookbooks. Encourage her to take some down time to work on projects and crafts she likes or to simply catch up on the latest novel.

Don’t forget flowers.

Nothing brings a smile to a new mother’s face faster than a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Look for colorful tulips or carnations for seasonal flowers or purchase a cheerful bunch of Gerbera daisies. Red roses are classic and always an excellent choice, and lilies and orchids are wonderful Mother’s Day ideas.
