Mother's Day gifts for new mommies

Usually when we buy gifts for new mothers, they're really gifts for the baby (for example, onesies, diapers, fuzzy duckies, and the like). Here are a few sweet gift ideas that will make any new mommy feel pretty and pampered.

A light, jersey robe with a pretty lace trim, $110.

Calming and soothing loose-leaf chamomile tea, $5.

An airy linen scarf, $49.50, for breastfeeding discreetly in public, or for tossing around her shoulders on cool summer nights.

Handmade diamond stud earrings, to make her eyes sparkle (P.S. Because these are studs, she can wear them without worrying about the baby grabbing on!). $34 and up.

A handmade, water-based body cream, for soft, supple, rejuvenated skin, $26.
