It’s always so exciting when a friend has her first baby and becomes a part of the Mommy Club. So you want to give her something more meaningful than a baby blanket or a toy that her newborn won’t be able to play with for months. But who says that you have to bestow a present just for the baby? Truth is, your amiga could probably use a little TLC right about now. And these 5 gifts for the new mom who can’t think straight are perfect post-partum. (Labor and delivery will do that to you.)
