    There are several women in my life who are expecting their very first little bundle of joy!  Even though they haven’t fully experience all the trials, tribulations and happiness of being a mother, they are still mothers.  While browsing around I found some cute ideas for Mother’s Day gifts for new mommies:

    Give them a travel kit of Erbaorganics products which includes stretch mark oil, organic stretch mark cream, organic bath oil and organic foot and leg refresher.

    Body Care Erbaorganics Mommy-to-be Travel Kit:  $13.99 - Lowest price on Smarter.com.

    The Baby Owner’s Manual has good reviews, is affordable and has a funny and fun approach to teaching new parents about parenting.

    Who doesn’t like taking a hot shower, stepping out of the steam and then wrapping themselves in a warm terry clothing robe?  Ahhhh!  

    Terrycloth Bath Robe: $39.99

    If she doesn’t have one already, a digital camera is a really great gift for a new mommy.  She can capture all the “first” moments and then upload them to her Facebook or MySpace page to share with friends and family.   One that I’ve had my eye on for a while is the super thin new Sony DSC-G3 Cybershot at $499.99.
