Holiday 2021 New Mom Gift Guide
Have a new working mom in your life? This gift guide is specifically for new working moms. You’ll notice some of these items are very practical and will make her life easier. And some gifts are more centered on self-care since new working moms often don’t take the time for self-care. Please note that items on this list may contain affiliate links.
It goes without saying that either of the Mompowerment books might be a perfect gift, especially for new working mamas. You can get your copy of The Mompowerment Guide to Work-life Balance on Amazon (teal book) to help working moms with general work-life balance. It’s loaded with practical tips. Or there is also Mompowerment (red book) on Amazon to help with the successful transition to a professional part-time role. And, if you’re looking for other books, feel free to check out my list of Top 10 Books for Working Moms.
