Today, we're focusing our attention on the best gifts for new moms.

A few other key things new moms will love? A cool skin-to-skin top that's a game-changer, a multifunctional diaper bag, and the softest nursing night dresses.

Ahead, enjoy our roundup of the 26 best gifts for new moms, from the elegant and quirky to the relaxation-centric.
