She can seal the letters with the included stickers before giving this time capsule to her daughter!

3. Mama Shark Wine Glass 

Every new mom can vouch that she has heard the song ‘Baby Shark’ a million times. But when her baby shark finally falls asleep, the mama shark could really use a drink in this adorable wine glass. The glass is heat treated to ensure the humorous decal is strongly adhered to the glass, but the glass should be hand washed in order to protect the funny and cute design.

4. Mom Son Charm Bracelet 

There isn’t enough love in this world for a mom to give to her baby boy. This charm bracelet is definitely something that she will cherish forever.

After a long day of running around the infant - feeding him, bathing him and finally putting him to sleep, the new mama deserves a relaxing bath in the bath tub. A bath pillow under her neck will make her bath feel a bit more luxurious, and prevent her neck from a spasm. This bath pillow provides strategic support for tender, sensitive areas, such as your spine and cervical vertebrae. Plus, it conforms to the body's contours for truly customised cushioning.

This can also be one of the most cherished gifts you can give a new mom of a little baby girl. This necklace gets divided into 2 parts - one to be worn by the mother and one to be worn by the daughter.
