Being a new parent is tough. In addition to the sleep-deprivation and upheaval to household routines, new parents also have to deal with their own needs being put on the back burner. It’s not easy finding time for self-care when you have a little one depending on you for everything, but that’s exactly why parents of newborns need time for themselves! This holiday season, give the new parents in your life the gift of self-care with one of these thoughtful gifts.

Self-care looks different when there’s a baby in the house. Instead of a night out with your partner or a spa day with the girls, self-care becomes a proper dinner or Netflix on the couch when you can’t sleep. While you might not be able to help with all the challenges of parenthood, you can give a new mom and dad an excuse to focus on their own needs for a change.
