The new baby always gets lavished with gifts, both at the baby shower (before they’ve even arrived!) and around the holidays. But in this stressful and joyful time of new motherhood, you don’t want to forget to get the new mom something either special or practical (although it should ideally be both, in my opinion) that will help make her life a little easier as she’s undergoing this major transition in her life.
