Push Presents: 10 Gifts for New Moms
We know the biggest gift for any new mom is her baby. But unlike labour, a congratulatory "push" present never hurts. Here are 10 gift ideas for a new mom.

Push presents: Gifts for the new mom
Olive + Piper Mama Necklace
Rocking chair
This rocker is a splurge-worthy item, appreciated most during sleepless nights. Plus, its sleek design makes for an effortless transition into everyday living room decor once your baby has grown.

Really good slippers
The new mom will love slipping her feet into these soft sheepskin mocs while burning the midnight oil. Bonus: The cuff flips up, creating a cozy booty.

Zodiac-themed bracelet
These bracelets are subtle and chic. We love that you can choose the zodiac sign of your new babe.

Expensive cookware
If your love is a foodie and enjoys cooking, high-end cookware is a well-deserved gift. Beware: If she doesn’t cook or enjoy being in the kitchen, you should probably steer clear.

Flowers
This simple gift is great because it can be tailored in so many ways! Nothing will cheer a tired new mom up more than a beautiful bouquet of flowers. If you’re in the Toronto or Prince Edward County area, Coriander Girl is a beautiful shop to check out. Their floral arrangements (shown above) start at $40.

Give her a break
After nine months of growing a human, your lady will appreciate some well-deserved spa treatments. Especially because now she can actually see her feet! Send her for a mani and pedi, or go all out with a spa day complete with massages, facial treatments and anything else her weary body craves.
