LWA/Dann Tardif/Getty Images Onesies, swaddles, board books and NoseFridas: New moms get tons of thoughtful gifts when their baby arrives. But it’s rare that the mother of a newborn receives something special that’s just for her, even though she’s currently going through countless physical, mental and hormonal challenges…while somehow still getting up to feed a tiny screaming human every two hours. Let’s change that with considerate gifting with an eye toward pampering and creative problem-solving. THE TOP 5 GIFTS FOR NEW MOMS AT A GLANCE * Sweetest Personalized Necklace: GLDN Edge Marama Necklace * For the Breastfeeding Mama: Stanley The Quencher H2.O Flowstate Tumbler * For the Mom Missing Her Hair Appointments: Augustinus Bader Hair Treatment System * For the Mom Ready to Get Back Into Working Out: NordicTrack T-Series Treadmill * Comfiest Slippers for Around the House: UGG Tasman Slippers WHAT IS A GOOD GIFT FOR A NEW MOM? Get the new mom in your life a gift she needs. Whether she needs a laugh, help with postpartum recovery, help around the house, you know your friend best, and analyzing the things she's going to want to help her in her new chapter as a mother will be a wonderful gift. Maybe she wants to feel pretty when she looks down at her manicured nails? Let's help her. Or she needs both the world's easiest-to-make-great-coffee, as well as a way to keep it ever-hot. We got that for her, too. Or, heck, maybe she just needs an excellent foot massage—check."During those first few weeks you really just don't have the time or energy to grocery shop or even cook (but you're also starving) so it was kind of the best thing ever," says Alexia Dellner, who oversees our Family content and is a mom of two. She recommends any kind of food gift as a way to help mom out. HOW WE CHOSE THE TOP GIFTS FOR NEW MOMS We polled our in-house mamas on the things they loved during their new motherhood journey, while also asking the moms in our lives and pregnant new-moms-to-be what they're looking forward to getting post-baby. After scouring the internet for top-quality items for our new moms, we've collected a great list of gifts she's sure to love. Giving a new mom something that's just for her enjoyment or that will offer immense help to her daily routine is the most efficient way we can think of to really say, we see you and we're proud of you, woman. (Well, a great gift and also coming over for a few hours every week to watch the baby while she naps.) Babysitting aside, here are 51 amazing postpartum gifts that every new mom will appreciate.

It’s available in three set lengths and comes in four material options: 14K gold fill, sterling silver, rose gold fill and 14K gold. “I got this necklace for my sister after she had her baby last year, and she loves it. She can wear it everywhere since it doesn’t overwhelm an outfit, plus she can shower in it and it won’t tarnish,” says commerce editor Olivia Dubyak. Buy It ($68) Stanley 2. STANLEY THE QUENCHER H2.0 FLOWSTATE TUMBLER For the Breastfeeding Mama * Why We Love It: comfortable handle, keeps water cold * Shipping: $7 standard shipping * Return Policy: returns are allowed within 30 days * Gift Options: none available Breastfeeding is one responsibility that will leave her absolutely parched, and being stuck without water is not fun.

Once she starts using this, she’ll be easily hydrated all the time, since its 40-ounce capacity means her cup won’t be left empty after two gulps. Oh, and it can keep beverages cold for up to 11 hours and two days iced, and hot drinks warm for up to seven hours. Buy It ($45) Augustinus Bader 3. AUGUSTINUS BADER HAIR TREATMENT SYSTEM For the Mom Missing Her Hair Appointments * Why We Love It: helps to balance hair’s PH, reduces shedding, improves scalp health * Shipping: free worldwide express shipping on all orders * Return Policy: returns are allowed within 30 days * Gift Options: none available She's so busy living her new mom life.

It's just about as luxurious as a hair kit can get, featuring the brand's scalp treatment and leave-in hair treatment, both of which contain all sorts of hydrating and soothing ingredients that her strands will just soak up. The formulas include watercress and Indiancress extracts, as well as the brand's legendary Trigger Factor Complex, a patented formula which helps to tackle all types of hair concerns from thinning to frizz.
