Finding the perfect gift for a baby shower can be a challenge so it's best to hear recommendations from a seasoned parent, like myself! I've been through the newborn to the school stages and I have an affinity for all-in-one products that not only have high quality standards but make a real impact in your everyday life. I've curated a list of must-have items that all new moms will love and I think this will be especially helpful for first time moms that aren't really sure what to ask for.

Here is a list of tried and true items that stood up for more than one school year for my elementary schooler. Some I purchased at the start of TK and they are still going strong and others I bought with a learning curve. You are sure to be impressed by the quality, standards, and ease of use of these products or I will wear a sign on my back in the pickup line that says “I admit I was wrong!”

This curated list includes products that I think are must haves for the first 6 weeks postpartum but a lot of these will last you far beyond that. I thoughtfully picked these items out because I really tried them myself and I felt they are designed to make your postpartum journey smoother, more comfortable, and a little easier.

This list isn't full of fluff and cutesy items that make it to most registries - these are the workhorse items that actually made it out of the box and into my daily routine. If you’re looking to skip the 'registry clutter' and only buy what you'll truly use every single day, start right here.

I am not only a mom but also a culinary school graduate so I can tell you first hand how essential it is to have the right tools in the kitchen. This list is hand picked and full of my favorites to help you prepare delicious and healthy meals with ease. I guarantee these items will save you time and energy so you can focus on what matters most.
