The best way to share & compare lists of favorites with friends

Sterling Silver Charms

http://www.tiffany.com

What new mom wouldn't want to open a Tiffany blue box and find a meaningful charm? You can get the child's birth date or initials or choose from a variety of baby-related charms.

There is nothing like a new, organic blanket to cuddle up with on the sofa. Pottery Barn has some nice ones.

One Line a Day: A Five-Year Memory Book

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/home-gift-one-line-a-day-a-five-year-memory-book/23135046?ean=9780811870191

This is a great gift for anyone but particularly meaningful for a new mom. No need for her to write tons - just one line a day.

Mama Mio Skin Care Set

http://www.amazon.com/Mama-Mio-Emergency-Repair-Piece/dp/B003NV0UR6

They call this an emergency kit which may be overkill - it contains skincare products for the new mom including tummy toning cream. It's not cheap but your friend/sister/etc is worth it!

DVDs To Watch

http://www.amazon.com/Masterpiece-Classic-Downton-Season-Blu-ray/dp/B004FM2ENU

There will be plenty of time when the new mom is breastfeeding or her baby is napping for her to get caught up on some great shows she may have missed. Get her some DVDs so she doesn't need to watch horrible daytime TV. Downtown Abbey is a good pick.

Terry Cloth Bathrobe

http://www.amazon.com/Leisureland-Womens-Cotton-Velour-Bathrobe/dp/B005FNJ96S

Self explanatory I think!

Crock-Pot

http://www.amazon.com/Crock-Pot-SCCPVL610-S-6-Quart-Programmable-Stainless/dp/B004P2NG0K

I wish I had discovered crock-pot cooking sooner. A new mom can put together soups, stews or just about anything and leave it to cook for hours while she takes care of baby. Be sure to get one that is programmable.

A Day At The Spa

Give her a spa gift certificate along with an offer to look after baby or arrange childcare so she can truly relax.

Teething Jewelry

http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Teething-Bling-Shaped-Necklace/dp/B001ANUSY4

Babies often grab for their mother's jewelry and love to play with it and chew and suck on it which isn't always a good idea. Instead get your new mom friend teething jewelry - it's beautiful and ok for babies to suck on.

Craft Coffee Subscriptioin

http://craftcoffee.com/

If she is a coffee drinker, this is a fun gift to make up for 9 months of no caffeine. Craft Coffee is a subscription service where she will receive new blends of coffee each month.

Custom Cards

a collection of 10 letterpressed notecards for new parents to write to their li’l munchkin every time they hit a milestone. cards come with matching polka-dot envelopes, all nestled in a chocolate brown slide box. yummy. available in pink or blue.

Peninsula mom of 4, Jennifer P is the genius behind Canopy Cards. The entire collection is unique, fun, and thoughtful. I use this for baby gifts all the time.
