32 First Mother’s Day Gifts That Will Make This Milestone Extra Special

Motherhood is a series of “first moments,” including her first Mother’s Day as a new mom. Make it extra memorable with a gift that commemorates this new phase in life.

Sarah Schreiber has been writing, editing, and producing lifestyle and weddings content for over seven years. In that time, she has interviewed and worked with hundreds of leading experts to become an authority on all things homekeeping, flower arranging, home design, and wedding planning.

The day she became a mother changed her life forever. And what day comes as a close second in sentimentality? Her first Mother’s Day. Make this holiday especially memorable with a gift she’ll treasure for years to come. Help her celebrate big milestones with keepsake boxes and baby books to capture each important moment of a child’s first year. Or take a self-care-forward approach and gift her something geared toward relaxation, like restorative body lotions, candles, pajama sets, shearling slippers, and beyond. There will always be flowers and breakfast in bed, but an heirloom present lasts a lifetime.
