With the arrival of a new baby, most of the attention and gifts are focused on him, which is quite understandable. After all, friends and family waited nine months for baby's debut! However, mom worked hard to bring that bundle of joy into the world and deserves a little recognition too. Instead of the requisite diapers and onesies for the baby, how about some personalized jewelry for mom to commemorate the birth? Diapers are here today and gone tomorrow but jewelry is the gift that keeps on giving.

Lockets are perhaps one of the most popular and adored jewelry pieces by any female, particularly moms. They hold tiny treasures such as a picture of the baby or even a lock of baby hair. Circles, ovals, squares and hearts are the most popular locket shapes and can be found in both silver and gold metals, depending on the mom's preference. The locket can be personalized with the baby's name and birth date or even a special phrase.

Charm necklaces or bracelets are another popular choice for mother's jewelry. Also found in silver and gold, this jewelry is a great idea as it not only can be personalized with specially chosen charms and engraving but it provides an opportunity for future gift-giving occasions. A charm to add to the bracelet or necklace will be a thoughtful, treasured gift for mom on birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day or those "just because" occasions.

A number of other jewelry gifts are appropriate for new moms. Birthstone jewelry is always popular in a mother's ring or pendant. Inspirational jewelry such as a cross or angel is a touching tribute to the miracle of birth. Bracelets or pendants with a psalm or moving quote engraved on them are additional inspirational jewelry ideas to consider.

New moms might also enjoy a non-jewelry gift such as the gift of self. How about offering babysitting services for the night? A full night's sleep is quite elusive for mom in the first six month's of a baby's life. Give her one entire night off from getting up every two or three hours and handle baby duties such as diaper changing and feeding on your own.

Pitch in with friends and purchase a supply of meals from a personal chef to be delivered to the new mom. Not having to cook means more time to rest and spend time with the baby. If you cannot afford chef services, devote a weekend for just cooking and create several easily frozen meals and deliver them to the new mom. She will appreciate it at dinner time when she is still in pajamas and has no energy to cook.

Scrapbooks, personalized picture frames, and gift certificates for a spa or massage are additional coveted gifts new moms love. Choosing a gift that is all about her is important. Whether it is a piece of jewelry mom can wear commemorating the baby's birth or a day off from baby duty, new moms need recognition and love too! Show her how much you care with your own thoughtful gift.
