New Moms are often forgotten when a baby is born. Guests arrive with gifts for the precious bundle of joy and forget that Mom is feeling worn out in a way she has never felt before. There should be a law that states if you’re going to visit a Mom and her new baby you must bring a little something for the person who did all the work to bring the little one into this world.

My sister just had her first baby and I’ve done everything in my power to make sure she feels loved, acknowledged, and stress-free whenever I go to visit. Knowing that labor and delivery does a number on a woman’s body, I thought it would be a great idea to bring her a gift I would have loved to receive after having my own babies.

Suggestions for Items to Include in a New Mom Gift Basket

Every Mom needs a little bathroom basket filled with items just for her that will make her feel clean, fresh, and relaxed like AVEENO® POSITIVELY SMOOTH® Shave Gel and AVEENO® Skin Relief Body Wash. From the cozy headband to wear while putting on a face mask, to the loofah to be used with a creamy body wash, it’s the little things that can help the most.

After pregnancy your skin can feel strange. It’s been stretched and pulled in impossible ways and some women develop dry itchy skin. My sister and I have had sensitive skin our whole lives, but it’s been intensified with pregnancy. We love using AVEENO® products as they are gentle on sensitive skin.

I included AVEENO® Skin Relief Body Wash in the basket because it’s designed to work with your skin to remove dirt and impurities without disrupting skin’s natural moisture barrier, leaving you with soft, smooth, healthy looking skin. AVEENO® Skin Relief Body Wash is hypoallergenic, dye-free and soap-free. Moms need something in the shower that’s enjoyable to use and will result in her feeling great.  

Another must-have for Moms is shave gel. Guess what happens after you have a baby. You can finally see your legs to shave again! I chose AVEENO® POSITIVELY SMOOTH® Shave Gel because it helps protect skin against nicks, cuts, and even razor bumps. AVEENO® is the #1 recommended OTC shave gel brand by Dermatologists in the USA. The specially formulated shave gel helps you shave less often too – which is something all Moms need because you never know when you’re going to get the time to shave in the shower.

You can find AVEENO® Skin Relief Body Wash and AVEENO® POSITIVELY SMOOTH® Shave Gel at Walmart stores in the Body Wash and Shaving Gel aisles.

AVEENO®‘s products are perfect gifts (and for everyday routine use) as they are gentle and calming. You can put anything you think you’d love in a spa basket for a new Mom, or a second/third time Mom too. Every Mom who has just went through labor deserves a little something to relax with. Don’t show up empty handed next time you go to meet a new baby!
