A mom’s first Mother’s Day is such an important milestone. It’s a day to celebrate everything she has been through as a mom — whether she became a mom through pregnancy and childbirth, surrogacy, fostering, or adoption. We all know the classic Mother’s Day gifts: chocolate, jewelry, and flowers. While these can be great gifts, they aren’t exactly useful.
Here are some meaningful and useful gifts for mom’s first Mother’s Day.
Momcozy Mobile Flow™ Breast Pump

When it comes to useful gifts, nothing compares to a smart breast pump. Any mom pumping breast milk for their little one will be obsessed with this high-efficiency wearable breast pump. The Momcozy Mobile Flow™ Breast Pump gives moms on-the-go freedom, with personalizable features, a comfortable fit, and effortless milk expression. The best part? It can all be controlled with a Bluetooth-enabled app. The device offers 15 adjustable suction levels with several pumping modes: two different professional recommendation settings — Milk Boost™ (for increasing milk production) and Milk Relief™ (for relieving engorgement) — and three regular pumping modes — Expression Mode, Mixed Mood, and Stimulation Mode. The hands-free pump is incredibly useful because of how discreet it is. The pump fits easily inside a bra and has a quiet motor, so moms can use it throughout the day.
Customized Tumbler

Did you know you can customize a Stanley? It’s true! New moms have to drink a lot of water (especially if they’re nursing), and as the weather gets warmer, it’s even more important to stay hydrated. Stanley tumblers have become more than just a cup — they’re an accessory. Personalize a Stanley for the new mom in your life by choosing a color they’ll love and adding words, monograms, graphics, or even your own image.
Mini Diaper Backpack

A diaper bag is something a new mom uses almost every day, so she deserves something she actually likes. This CALPAK diaper backpack isn’t just adorable, it’s also practical. It has multiple insulated bottle pockets, removable shoulder straps, a mesh pocket, a magnetic closure, and water-resistant material. It even has a suitcase handle passthrough, which makes it perfect for travel. You can also buy stroller straps to convert it into a stroller organizer.
Bath Tray


During pregnancy, women can’t take long, hot baths (it’s recommended to avoid soaking in really hot water for long periods of time), but they can be a great way to relax when there’s an infant in the house. This expandable bamboo tray has an adjustable book stand/tablet holder, a wine glass holder (so it won’t spill in the tub), and phone holder. It also has space for candles.
Mom's One Line a Day Journal

The first few years of baby’s life can be a blur, so gift mom an easy way to keep track of milestones and daily achievements. This one-line-a-day journal is a perfect keepsake and a way for moms to see their baby’s growth (and their own). To make this a really useful gift, find a great pen to go with the memory book.
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+

Caffeine is a must for new moms, and if she’s a coffee drinker, she’ll love a Nespresso machine. This one is small and colorful, the perfect starter machine for anyone new to Nespresso. It brews five different cup sizes: espresso (1.35 oz), double espresso (2.7 oz), gran lungo (5 oz), coffee (8 oz), and XL (12 oz). Make sure to pair the machine with some pods, like the Spring Flavor Bundle, which also comes with cookies and a travel mug.
