Mother’s Day is on Sunday, May 12, this year, and if there’s one thing that pretty much any new mom could use, it’s a break. But because you can’t wrap that up and put a bow on it, I’ve rounded up more than 60 fun, thoughtful, decadent, and practical gifts for all types of new moms, including the ones celebrating their very first Mother’s Day. I’ve personally tested many of these products — from foolproof sheer nail polish to a snooze-inducing sound machine to a 14k-gold initial charm — or had them recommended to me by fellow members of the Strategist-parent hive mind. Most of the gifts below are available on Amazon (though I found a few items elsewhere for those who like to shop around), and all of them cost less than $100. And if you’re shopping for more than one mother or mother figure, we’ve got dozens more Mother’s Day gift ideas here.
