When a baby is born, so is a mother. During this time, when newborns are showered with gifts pre- and post-birth, we sometimes forget that a new mom needs just as much pampering! 

Now that the season of giving is fast approaching, we've got some gift-giving ideas for you if you're stumped about what to give that new mom in your life. Whether she's your wife, sister or best friend, these fabulous and thoughtful gift ideas will surely make her smile.

1. A non-frumpy diaper bag. 

 New moms want to feel pretty and fashionable, just like any other woman. Just because she has a baby doesn't mean baby-fied diaper bags and totes should cramp her style! 

These days, the market is replete with nouveau-style diaper bags to suit a new mom's personal style. These bags look like your regular tote or shoulder bag, but come with practical compartments and features unique to baby- and diaper-bags. They come with matching changing mats, wet and dry compartments, even holders for wet wipes and other travel essentials!
