What gifts would a close pregnant friend like?

Emma: What gifts would a close pregnant friend like?
I have a really close friend who is due in April and I want to get her some more personal “mommy” gifts for her to enjoy during her pregnancy (before all the baby showers and baby gifts, etc). I am several years younger than her so she is my first pregnant friend and I’m not exactly sure what would be nice to have while being pregnant.

I already got her some extremely comfortable shoes and want to put together a little basket of extra stuff that she would really enjoy (i.e. lavendor lotions, teas, etc). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

well if i was pregnant then i would really like some cute mommy-baby stuff, for example, i got my preggy friend a jacket that had plaid patterns all over it, and i got a mini one that was exactly the same for her baby, i thought it was really cute, good luck!

sleepy pants…gift certificate to the hip maternity shop…but she needs stuff for the baby! get the baby some clothes, definetly onesies, bibs, diapers, and wipes. Its very practical, but much needed stuff, that wont go to waste.

a spa day would be nice, or a gift cert to a maternity store. Maybe something homemade by you for the baby. Like a scrapbook!

im due in april too so me and her are probably just a few days apart. id really love some comfy PJ’s. if shes still having morning sickness you can get her citrus smelling body wash. its supposed to help ease the sickness. she will definitely want a body pillow when she gets farther along so u can get her one of those. she will get everything she needs for the baby from the shower so its nice that you wanna get her something for herself. if she craves chocolate then give her a few candy bars or whatever other foods she craves. maybe a nice cozy robe and slippers for winter time (keep in mind she will be a larger size by the time winter gets here). i hope i helped =)

yes, moms love stuff they wouldn’t otherwise get for themselves. try a nice bath kit, a certificate to get a pedicure or massage, a nice dinner date with her hubby or a girls day out during which you don’t talk about the pregnancy.

Get her a gift certificate for a manicure and pedicure at a nice salon in town. (Skip the Asian places–you want this to be a relaxing experience for her…not to have her hear the phone ringing off the hook and people jabbering in Vietnamese or Korean, lol)

One of the best gifts I received when I was pregnant was a pregnancy charm bracelet. They sell it at Target.com! It’s a charm bracelet, all the charms are included….you’re suppose to add a charm a month while you’re pregnant and the last charm you add is a minature picture frame that you put your baby’s picture in! My daughter’s over a year old already and I still wear it! It reminds me of all the wonderful joys of pregnancy!

A DAY AT THE SPA!

Massage – Find a massage therapist that specializes in moms to be. This will make her feel great and is really good for her body and all the crazy stretching it is doing.

Live Happy,
