I truly believe that finding the "just right" gift for someone can be as enjoyable as receiving one.
We are sharing our favorites for the season! Happy gifting to the ones that are oh-so deserving!
1. The Aura Frame:
While this guide is in no particular order, I have to say that the Aura Frame has been the best gift I've given my family this year.I easily initially uploaded it with pictures from when my boys were born to now. Every week I add more pictures from our adventures, grandparents visits, trips, school activities, soccer etc.
I constantly find myself stopping to look at one of the images, and I daily catch my youngest sitting at my desk, and just sliding the pictures and laughing at himself as a baby.
This is an incredible and thoughtful gift not only for a new Mom but for grandparents as well.
There are a range of frame sizes, textures, and colors. Prices vary but on average you are spending about $150 and it is well worth it!
2. Spoonk Acupressure Mat
Pregnancy and Postpartum were not easy on me, and let me tell you I found myself reaching for this acupressure mat on most days!
Not only does this mat with over 6000 stimulation points help with my newly developed back pain, but it is an incredible stress relief as well.
The mats stimulation points increase circulation and blood flow which I've found incredibly relaxing and an incredible sleep-aid as well.
While I purchased my spoons mat in-store you can find them on Amazon for under $100.
3. Victoria Beckham Concealer Pen with TFC8 Luminous Coverage:
I am a self-proclaimed beauty lover and this concealer has been such an incredible find.
My eye hollows are perhaps one of the biggest side effects of #momlife and for 7+ years I haven't really had a concealer I would recommend, let alone rave about.
Formulated with TFC8® by Augustinus Bader, The Concealer Pen formula reduces the appearance of fine lines and dark circles, decreases eye puffiness, and improves the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
The tapered brush allow for controlled and effortless single-handed blending—ideal for fast one-handed application and touch-ups on-the-go.
With over 16 shades ranging from very fair to rich, a color match is not a problem.
I originally became a VB beauty fan after being gifted one of her Kajal jewel eyeliners. They would also make an equally incredible gift! The concealer runs approx $68 with eyeliner approx. $34 with several gift sets available.
4. The Lyma Laser:
The Lyma is certainly the highest priced gift that makes our list but it does offer some enticing benefits to a new mom. I've personally used mine for over a year now and the results have been beyond impressive.The Lyma is a portable and powerful at-home beauty device. It emits low-level laser therapy that reaches the base layer of the dermis, effectively transforming the skin from within in as little as 12 weeks.
It's the first time a laser of this transformational power can be safely used outside a clinic.
My concern were melasma, sun discoloration, and broken capillaries.
The lyma has successfully faded and eliminiated all of these for me; and I've had numerous friends see great results for acne and acne discoloration.

My skin personally has become smoother, clearer, and more buoyant looking. Because the discoloration has faded there is a true clarity to the tone of my skin and I haven't reached for makeup this entire year.
Lyma is suitable for all skin tones and types and there is zero pain.
The price tag for the starter set is $2,695 so it's not at all inexpensive; but if suffering from some of the unsightly hormonal changes that get sent our way.. it just may still make it to the top of your wish list.
5. Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Extreme Deep Conditioning Treatment:
The creme de le creme of deep conditioners! Elasticizer Extreme contains all the deep conditioning ingredients in an elevated dose to nourish very dry, fragile and thirsty hair. Elasticizer Extreme Deep-Conditioning Treatment delivers a supercharged boost of elasticity, moisture and strength to your hair.
This can be used as a pre-shampoo, an overnight treatment, or the way I use it, which is lathering it on before a run - braiding my hair and letting it soak while I workout for over an hour.
Double shampoo and experience your most softest and hydrated hair instantly.
I get asked frequently what is the best conditioning masque for postpartum hair and this is top of my list! There are several sizes starting at $52 which can make a great stocking stuffer, or splurge on the larger refills for about $130. Available at Neiman Marcus or philipkingsley.com
6. Skims Sleep Holiday Button Up Sets:
Love or hate Ms. Kimberly, she kills it with the sleep sets. I love a lounge matching set and the SKIMS pajamas have unparalleled softness and are incredibly comfortable.
The button ups are oversized with long sleeves and a chest pocked. The straight leg pants are incredibly flattering with a relaxed fit and stretchy waistband.

I personally find SKIMS to run true to size and I am obsessed with this cherry blossom gingerbread print that just dropped on the SKIMS holiday shop. Set $80
