Our favorite Mother's Day gifts for new moms are ones that merge practicality with a lot of fun and indulgence. The first year of new parenthood can be exhausting, after all, so give the new parents in your life the celebration they deserve.

While flowers, chocolates, and spa gift certificates are always welcome, when thinking about gifts for new moms on Mother's Day, we think searching for the presents newly minted parents might not buy for themselves is the best way to go. It's a great way to tell your loved one you're thinking of them, while also acknowledging that this special moment — their very first Mother's Day! — deserves a little extra recognition.

Whether it's bringing massage home with a Hypervolt massage gun or gifting her pretty nails without the lengthy manicure appointment via resilient press-ons (ones that won't pop off during a diaper change), these Mother's Day gifts for new moms are sure to make her smile on her first Mother's Day. Plus, we rounded up items new parents are sure to need during that first year or two in baby world — so you can be certain your gift will be more than appreciated.

Dagne Dover Everyday Gear Kit ($247, regularly $290)

A curated bundle of two go-to bags to help keep her organized and ready to conquer the day, the Dagne Dover Everyday Gear Kit includes a backpack like its ultrapopular Indi Diaper Backpack and Ace Fanny pack. The backpack comes in two sizes, with the medium recommended for postnursing parents and the large recommended for a newborn. I have an 18-month-old and find the large perfect for my diaper-bag needs, especially when I travel.

The Everyday Gear Kit is a surefire crowd pleaser, but the brand offers other kits that may be more tailored to the new parent you know: a Traveling Fam Kit, a New Parent Kit, or a Grab + Go Parent Kit, for instance.
