It’s FRI-YAY again – and since it’s November, that can only mean one thing: gift guide time!! I put out my gift guide for beauty lovers last week (check it out here) – and it’s got over 30 products ranging from makeup to skincare to haircare. So, if you are looking for something along those lines for your favorite people (or yourself, no judgement here), you’ll definitely want to check that out. BUT. For today – we are going to talking all things NEW MAMA for the holiday season. As a new mom myself, I have been keeping a list for the last few months of things I’d like for Christmas and I know they are so appropriate for any new mom out there (or honestly – just any mom at all)! Alright – let’s dive into this!
NEW MOM GIFT GUIDE 2019

Mini Medallion Ring: This is the ring I have stacked! I LOVE THIS RING. It’s SO dainty and slim, and I get compliments on it ALL the time. I have mine engraved with a “J” for Jack! I also have it stacked with the little twist ring. As we have more babies – I will add each initial on their own little stackable ring. It’s absolutely perfect.
Birthstone Ring: I love this idea! I have tiny stacking rings on my middle finger, and I would love to add a few more! Jack’s birthstone would be PERFECT.
Knitology Knit Hat: This local shop is one of my all time FAVORITE. I am obsessed with Kate (she runs the shop), and she is incredibly talented. These are handmade with so much talent and love. I gifted a hat to my own self this year for Christmas.
Mom Bom sweatshirt: This is another mama owned shop!! I love her Milkshake sweatshirt – it’s so so cute. They are fabulous quality and are perfect for the quirky mama in your life.
Rocker Mama: This thing has been a LIFE saver for me. Literally. We bring this with us in the car no matter where we are and if I need to rock Jack, I’ve got it. It’s a must-have for all new moms.
Mama Baseball hat: This hat is just the cutest. I’m obsessed with it.
Countdown to Mama advent calendar: If your new mama isn’t quite popped yet – this is SO CUTE. It’s a mama run shop (see a theme here) and this is SUCH a quality gift. Even if they just had a baby…it’s just such an awesome gift.
Barefoot Dreams Blanket: Every new mama needs a cozy blanket – I promise. I can not get enough of anything barefoot dreams and this is no exception. SO. UNBELIEVABLY. SOFT.
Bar Necklace with Baby’s Birthdate: This is such a sweet reminder of your new baby! It’s dainty and layerable, and perfect for everyday wear.
“MAMA” Necklace: These are ALL THE RAGE on instagram right now. I love that it can be stacked with the necklace above.
Mommy & Me Matching Shirts: these “MAMA” jean jackets are ADORABLE. I love that you can get it in denim or a little girl or camo for a little boy.
You Are A F*cking Awesome Mom Book: Ok, ok. I know the title might throw you off but this book is awesome for new moms and can really help them feel like they’re doing a good job even when it doesn’t always feel that way.
Stackable Beaded Name Bracelet: I’m obsessed. These are so cute and perfect layered with a watch!! You can get any name on them.
Moonlight Pajamas: Again: soft things cannot be too plentiful in the home of a new mom. These are nursing friendly AND comfortable.
Q&A a Day for Moms: A 5-Year Journal: This is an awesome book of journal prompts to help moms remember those special moments.
The First Forty Days: The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother: This is great for you mamas who love to cook. It helps you with recipes that will keep you fed and nourished while you focus on taking care of your new little one.
Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug: Because let’s be honest…..once you’re a mom you don’t finish a cup of ANYTHING hot right away. It’s like..the rule. This ensures you never have to heat a mug up again. 😉
eufy RoboVac 11: Time is best spent snuggling those tiny littles before they’re too big – not vacuuming your floors. This does the work for you!
On The Day You Were Born Print: I looooove these star prints. They would look absolutely beautiful in a nursery.
New Mom Gift Box: This gift box is FULL of awesome goodies for the new mama. It comes pre-packaged, too, so less work for you. 😉
New Mom Candle: Those of us who grew up on Mean Girls are all having kids of our own now – so it’s the perfect quote + inside joke. ALL while making sure their home smells fantastic.
MAMA ring: I want to get this ring to wear on my other finger. I have been loving all the rings lately – and why not add one more thing that says MAMA.
Custom Name Meaning Printable Wall Art: I need to get this for Jack’s room. I LOVE that they say the meaning behind the names. It’s so sentimental and beautiful to me!
Custom Starbucks cup: Every new mom needs this “Mommy Fuel” cup. We are all just trying to survive on two hours of sleep and caffeine, amiright?
Your Childhood Journey Baby Book: I AM OBSESSED. Every single new mom in your life needs this. It is a baby book that grows with them as they go all the way through high school graduation so you can keep all those precious memories.
Freshly Picked Diaper Bag: This is my diaper bag and it’s the best, honestly. It’s structured enough that things don’t get lost and it is adorable and chic so you don’t feel clunky!
Porcelain Today’s Goal Mug: This mug makes me laugh. It’s a successful day if my tiny human survives!
I Love Mom With the Very Hungry Caterpillar: Every new mama needs this heartfelt kids book to read to her babies. I promise it’ll bring a few tears. 🙂
Monogrammed Belt Bag: Ok. Mom hack: stop trying to stuff all your things in your diaper bag (like keys, wallet, phone) and then never being able to easily grab them. Invest in a belt bag so that you don’t have to carry two purses, but everything is super accessible for you! Thank me later.
Monogrammed Travel Jewelry Case: This is just one of those things that’s nice to have, and one less thing for mom to worry about when packing up a whole family.
Dresser Top Jewelry Box: This is GORGEOUS. I am really excited to grab one for myself this year. It looks so beautiful and it’s functional.
Monogramed Blanket Scarf: Everyone needs a new blanket scarf this year. It’s soft and I love that it’s monogrammed.
Monogrammed Bar Bracelet: If your mama is more of a bracelet than a necklace or ring girl – this bracelet is the perfect momento for her little ones.
Fujifilm Instax Instant Camera: It can be really fun to have instant pictures of your babies for baby books and keepsakes! I’ve loved this little tradition!
Canvas Tote Bag: This is an AWESOME catchall bag for the car! Keep extra supplies for your baby JUST IN CASE your forget something in your diaper bag!
PIN THIS FOR LATER:

What are you asking for for Christmas this year?! Let me know in the comments below!
I am seriously getting my mom a barefoot dreams blanket for christmas. I have one and it is my favorite weight.
Girl you were SO right when you said that this guide wasn’t just for new mamas – because I can definitely see myself getting my mom and my sister both gifts from this list. There are SO many amazing goodies here! And I love how much detail you went into about each item!
I’m not a momma, but I can totally see myself buying some of these for me. LOL! Loving all of these suggestions.
So many awesome options.!!
Barefoot Dream has the BEST stuff!! I have a sweater by them ???? I adore it! Doesn’t get softer than that! Also, I love that mug that says “Keep the tiny humans alive” ???? I definitely need that for my sister.

The monogrammed bracelets are the cutest! Love these ideas 🙂
