The Best Gifts to Send Someone Who Just Had a Baby – The Cutest Newborn Baby Gifts
One of my best friends (and bridesmaid in my wedding in Maui) just had her first baby and I am SO excited. But, living on the other side of the country I found myself scouring the internet searching for the best gifts to send a new mother and trying to find the best baby gifts that would make her smile in those precious first few months of no sleep and so much love.
I wanted to share some of the personalized, adorable new mom gifts I found because I figured if I were searching for the best gifts for newborns and their mamas, you all might be too! Especially now that I’ve had my own baby, there were some incredible gifts we received that truly stood out from the rest, so I wanted to share those here!
Here are the best baby gifts to send someone who just had a baby!
A plush stuffed animal and blanket combo
Love this little lion for a baby gift – and how cute is it that it matches the baby blanket?!
Tummy time toy
How cute is this sea life tummy time toy?
A gift basket
A personalized baby blanket
The Cutest Keepsake Toy Trunk
This would make a great baby gift for any age – they have all kinds of colors, too! So cute.
Heirloom “Goodnight Moon’ Book with Monogram Embossing
We received this in the mail from a friend when we had our baby boy and are obsessed – this present is such a good idea! It’s a larger version of the classic Goodnight Moon book, and you can emboss it with the baby’s name. This book has become our nighttime routine and is Harrison’s favorite!!! So this is a super special gift to us, and I know it would be for any new parent!
BOOKS!!
Seriously, you can not have enough books. I love these touch and feel books from Little Hippo Books. They’re perfect for young babies but will continue to be a favorite for the first few years!!!
Stuffed Football
How cute is this personalized stuffed football for a baby boy!
Teddy Bear Chair
Monogrammed baby backpack
These adorable seersucker or vinyl backpacks are a great price point and are sooo cute.
A personalized baby book!
Monogrammed Hooded Towel Bath Set
You need these hooded towels for bathtime! How cute are these ones that you can get monogrammed? The material is so luxe and soft and I love the blue gingham! (they have pink too for girls!) A friend got them for us and I’m obsessed!
A monogrammed baby brush keepsake set
An adorable swim set for the baby
While everyone will be gifting them something for right NOW, you’ll stand out by giving them this adorable vacation infant swimwear set so they can look forward to their first vacation with their little babe.
Available in infant sizes (and they have matching mommy and me swimwear too!)
Shop these swim trunks
Jellycat Stuffed Animals
I had never heard of this brand of super-soft adorable stuffed animals, but we’ve been gifted a few since becoming new parents and Harrison loves all of them!! The coolest thing is that there are card books that go with each stuffed animal, so you can read to your baby about the animal that they love!
We have this one in our nursery and he laughs every time he plays with the tentacles!
This adorable – and oh so useful – baby carrier
it is our favorite!

This is probably our most used gift! Our baby boy loves being put in it and it makes it easy to set him in it while I get ready in the morning, or have him watch while I cook dinner, etc.
Spinner toys from Amazon
These are SO handy and keep babies super entertained. They make for a great gift because they will be USED a ton! They have suction cups so you can stick them on a window, or on the back of a book!

Another thing we use a TON in our house!
Other nice things to send a new mom or new dad to make their lives easier or just remind them you’re thinking of them in this new chapter!
