You’re raising a tiny human (or growing one!)—which means you deserve all the presents. Whether you’ve been eyeing a top-of-the-line vacuum to pick up your toddler’s crumbs or a lux leather bag that hooks onto your stroller, it should—and can—be yours. If you can’t quite bring yourself to treat yo’self, just slide this list into your other half’s inbox. Because helpful hints never hurt, right?

Sparkly Studs

Beautiful Bouquets

A posy of fresh blooms has the ability to turn even the worst day (or sleepless night) around. Imagine receiving a delivery every month for baby’s first year (monthly milestone photo props, anyone?) or even every week. Petalfox, which ships artfully arranged seasonal bouquets across the West Coast, texts its members photos of the type of arrangements they can expect that week. You then decide to get, gift or skip—all through text.

Buy it: Starting at $28 per bouquet, Petalfox.com

Pick-Me-Up Lipstick

A bright lip virtually erases exhaustion and makes you feel pulled together in an instant, trust us. But this tube is no drugstore pick—its sleek leather case is refillable. Best of all, it’s free of allergens, endocrine disruptors and perfume, so you can cover baby in kisses.

Buy it: La Bouche Rouge Lipstick Set, $160, Barneys.com

Statement Slippers

Wait, you didn’t know you needed a pair of statement slippers? Well now you know. These velvet beauties make even spit-up stained pjs look good. Bonus: A rubber sole means you’re actually encouraged to wear them grocery shopping. #momwin.

Smart Watch

Pay for groceries, track fitness goals and never miss a text from the babysitter. The Apple Watch Hermès will make you feel like a boss, even at the playground. Once you slip this bad boy on your wrist, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
