I'm going to a babyshower next week and i have already gotten stuff for the little one, but i thought i might be nice to get something for mom. Any ideas on what a new mom might like for herself?

You can go one of two ways: pampering stuff, or stuff she will need but might not have gotten yet. Pampering stuff may include nice slippers, some chocolates, a candle, a gift certificate for a massage (pregnancy massages are wonderful). The stuff she may need include basic hygiene stuff, such as nipple cream, breast pads, sanitary pads, lip balm, etc. I received a bit of both, and they all came in handy.
Hope this helps!

A gift certificate for a massage would be nice. After giving birth, the lower back tends to be weak and hurt a lot. A nice back massage helps relieve the pain but it also gets the mother a much needed me time.

get a basket and fill it with candles, bath gel, shower sponge, facial cream, things for her to make her feel good, a lot of times after you have a baby you look at yourself and are uncomfortable in this body with stretched skin, it is emotionally and physically exhausting to have a child, then everyone is only interested in the baby, put in a coupon for a day at a spa, it is so nice of you to think of the mom most people don't you are a wonderful friend

Candles, Bubble bath, and tea, coffee, or a bottle of wine so she can pamper herself. When you rap it put it in a diaper take the diaper like your going to put it on a baby but put the gifts for mom inside it and put "here are some things to pamper your self "

Stuff to use in the hospital like nightgowns, robe, or slippers. A nice bath set with body wash, lotion, bubbles, etc... Anything would make mom feel special.

How about a gift certificate to her favorite salon or spa? A massage would be a great idea before or after the baby is born!

the stuff to pamper herself sound great. she probably would really love this now her body is hers agian so she can pamper herself and feel sexy.
oh and a stress ball for when all the people come over to give her advice and try to be helpful and mommy is sitting there smiling thanking them for there help but is really thinking ok thanx now p*s* o*f and give me space.

She is not going to have a ton of time for herself when the baby comes, so think "comfort"!!!
A nice plush robe or pajamas
A velvety cute sweat suit
SLIPPERS!
hair bands, clips, etc., (she's not going to have a ton of time for the hair either!!)
Lotions
Bubble bath
Chamomile Tea

offer to keep the new little one for an hour or so at her house so she can take a nice relaxing bath or get some sleep!!!

A gift certificate to get her hair or nails done. It's so nice that you are doing something nice for her too.
