A beloved person you know is pregnant, and you want to be there in any way possible. You want to give this person a unique gift now that she’s pregnant. The following are five unique gifts to consider giving.
1. The Baby Journal
One thing you can gift is a baby journal. This will be something she could write in every day to document the experience. To make this unique, be sure to personalize the baby journal. There are a few ways you can do this, like adding the new mommy’s initials. You’ll probably want to make sure this journal is high quality, maybe leather bound with natural paper or something like that. You want to make sure the journal feels special and shows you took time to think about the gift.
2. Gender Test
Another great gift you can give is an at-home gender predictor test. Every parent wants to know if it’s going to be a boy or a girl. A predictor is a simple test that’ll help the new mom know what’s in the oven without going through the appointment process. Even if the parent wants to be surprised, the option is there to let it be a mystery or not. There are a few prediction kits out there, so choose one with the most positive reviews.
3. Maternity Leggings
A new mom needs to exercise throughout the pregnancy. New moms have to walk and maybe do a little light yoga and other things to prepare their body for the baby’s arrival. This means exercise clothes matters, and maternity leggings might be the perfect gift. There are a lot of styles out there, so choose one that feels like it’ll go with the person you’re giving this gift to. It might be a good idea to get a few pairs just to give her a few choices. Even if you don’t think she’ll exercise much, leggings are comfortable everyday pants.
4. Pregnancy Pillow
As the tummy gets bigger, it becomes harder to find a comfortable position to sleep. This is a problem many pregnant women go through, and it might be a problem for the new mommy in your life. It might be a good idea to anticipate this need before her stomach even gets that big. She might not need a good pregnancy pillow just yet, but she’ll find it invaluable when she gets bigger. She’ll remember you got this pillow and thank you a million times over because it gave her some peace.
5. Gifting a Service
Maybe the best gift you can give the new mommy is a service. Sometimes, the thing your friend needs the most during her pregnancy is a little time to herself. You can give a coupon for a service that she can redeem at any time during her pregnancy. You could offer to clean her house so that she could rest the entire day, or maybe you can offer to bring a home-cooked meal when she doesn’t feel like cooking herself. You’d be surprised how much she might appreciate a gift like this.
Hopefully, you find the right gift with one of these options. Be patient as you look through these ideas, and the right one will pop out because you know your friend well enough. Just let your heart be your guide.
