How to Pamper a New Mom on Mother's Day

Given that the life of a new mom is wholly dedicated to the well-being of another, it should be no struggle at all to find ways to pamper her.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Running Shoes
• Faster Modems
• Flowers
• Bubble Baths
• Jewelry
• Gift Certificates
• Theater Tickets
• Theater tickets

1. Investigate the basics. Does she need help getting a handle on laundry or cleaning? Would a trip to the store for diaper wipes or formula be appreciated?

2. Make sure you do more than offer your assistance. Actually follow through on what she says she needs, however unglamorous it might seem.

3. Cook her a meal - or two, or three. She's probably had it with her own hastily prepared lunches and dinners. Make something for Mother's Day and something to freeze.

4. Give her the gift of time. Do the baby-sitting yourself or write a check to the care provider.

5. Furnish her with a gift certificate for something just for her: a massage, a manicure, a personal trainer, a spa. If she's like most new moms, she needs reminders that she's more than just a mom.

6. Find a way to help her spend time with her partner. How about a gift certificate to their favorite restaurant? Or tickets to a show - complete with your offer to baby-sit, of course.

7. Return to old favorites: breakfast in bed, a long suds-filled bath, flowers, jewelry.

8. Invent a gift just for her. New running shoes to remind her of her pre-pregnancy habits? A faster modem so she can shop online with ease?

Tips & Warnings

• Your recognition of the hard work she does every day is a fundamental element of the pampering a new mom deserves. Tell her you understand how much attention a new baby demands.
• Remember that new moms should be pampered a little bit every day - not just once a year. Promise future pampering.
