Mom may claim that she’s already gotten the only gift she truly wanted, but wise mates know better than that. Here are some great ideas to make the new mom in your life one happy lady!

Juno Blu Ventana Satchel
$185

June-Blu-Ventana_Bag

Breastfeeding moms know that sometimes breast pumps can leave you feeling more like Bessie from the barn than a new mom. The solution? This stunning Ventana satchel from Juno Blu. The soft, spill- and stain-resistant leather bag, which makes boring old breast pump bags a thing of the past, is packed with pockets and offers an impressive amount of storage. Freshly pumped liquid gold can be stored safely in the insulated pockets (two reusable ice packs included), which will keep milk cool for up to four hours. And any supplies needing a post-pump wash-down can be stored in the “dirties” pouch. Cell phone pockets, a keyclasp and additional zippered pouches can house anything any new mom may need while out and about. Carry over the shoulder with the removable strap or forgo the strap for the handles.

Thank You, Mom Bracelet
