Hi, hello, to everyone with moms in their life who are expecting or new to the world of parenthood! This major life moment is one to be celebrated, whether it's Mother's Day or just any ol' day of the week. And it takes a village to raise a baby (that includes you!) so there's no reason not to buy gifts for new moms that'll give them a helping hand. Our editors couldn't agree more, so we've thrown in some of their fave picks that are sure to please mamas near and far.

When it comes to the best presents for pregnant women or new moms, it's so important to think about practical things they'll actually need on the daily. Many on Team Cosmo agree that food delivery is one gift for her that'll be super helpful in the early days of motherhood. TLC just for Mama is also a must, so consider gifts for new moms that *aren't* for the baby—think a protective silk pillowcase set or body care for some me-time. And if you're looking to spoil her with a luxury gift, we've included some splurge picks like the designer stroller that your fave celebs use (*cough* Rihanna *cough*) and a gift card to a laundry service that'll deliver straight to her front door.

Here, shop all 50 of the best gifts for new moms that'll keep on giving, from pregnancy to birth to postpartum. Sincerely, all your new mom friends. <3

Cosmo Senior Entertainment Editor Emma Baty's bestie is almost due with her second baby (congrats!!) and she has a word of advice: Gift new moms a meal subscription or a gift card for one. "Delivery food was our best friend for the first three weeks," she says. "The last thing you want to think of is making dinner."
