Pregnancy Gifts – What To Give When They’re Expecting
If you are a single gal like me and are stumped as to what to give during baby showers, then fret not, this article is for you.
I’m writing this because I am among the last single gals in my group and so I have been in too many baby showers only to find out later that the gifts I have given are one too many and not as useful.
The thing is, when it comes to baby showers, let’s also take into consideration that the woman is our friend and not yet the coming baby. So let’s give pregnancy gifts that can be of use to our friend during her pregnancy rather than those that will be used by the baby afterwards.
After all, if the couple got pregnant, then they must be ready to buy the necessities of the baby. Although, those are good gifts, too.
Pregnancy Gifts For The Mom
Let’s call this a list of pregnancy gifts rather than suggestions for baby shower gifts. Let’s make baby shower about the mother so it should be mother-to-be shower.
1. The best pregnancy pillow. I would suggest to give the total body pillow and pregnancy pillow reviews have it that the best may be the Boppy Body Pillow that gives comfort to the neck down to the body and legs. Now, this is number one on the best pregnancy gifts because according to my friends, who happen to be the mothers I have showered with bad gifts from the past, the pregnancy pillow is their best friend. Pregnant women, I have learned, do not sleep very well because of back pains and the pillows help ease that.
2. Maternity pants as pregnancy gifts. In preparing for pregnancy, I learned that mothers-to-be don’t have a lot of time to go shopping for themselves. They get busy buying baby stuff in their partner’s pants and shirts. For a fashionista like me, this is a no-no. All maternity pants have the gartered waist. This is fine, but at least, buy the skinny jeans type or the Capri. Don’t worry about the size, just pick the right frame and it will be the right fit. You don’t have to go into specifics, small, medium and large is quite fine.
3. Pampering kits as pregnancy gifts. There are specialized pampering essentials for pregnant women because everything the woman uses on her skin may have an effect on the baby she is carrying. It is important that the giver looks for the au natural kind.
4. Cute bloomers.
