If you’re the type of person that likes to send little gifts to friends, pregnancy is a time where women could really use the pick-me-up. And that’s particularly true right now.
Pregnancy can be uncomfortable and stressful and some of the joys that many women typically experience during pregnancy aren’t happening right now, like in-person baby showers, showing off their growing bump, and celebrating IRL with loved ones.
If you have a pregnant friend and want to send them a little something special, I’ve got you covered with a range of useful ideas. Whether they are having an official (virtual) shower or might enjoy a surprise in the mail, there are a lot of comforting and helpful items you can gift. Many times expecting women will get gifts for their future baby (which of course are important), but mama can also use some pampering during 40 weeks of growing a tiny human.
Here are 9 of my favorite pregnancy items that I love, and that I think your friends will love too.
1.Pregnancy Hacks Book: Every hack, tip, and piece of advice pregnant mamas needs to feel comfortable during pregnancy (my book!).
2. Motherlove Belly Oil and Belly Salve: A luxurious duo for itchy skin.
3. Hatch Belly Mask: For a belly-focused spa night at home.
4. Welly Water Bottle: Pregnancy requires extra hydration and a cute bottle helps.
5. Earth Mama Organic Third Trimester Tea: Sip your way through the last trimester with this tea that may help prepare your body for labor.
6. BaoBei ProBump Belly Support Band: If your friend is into fitness or long walks, these belly bands are excellent (BaoBei also has cute bralettes to pair it with).
7. Binto Glow Down Drink Mix: For sleepless nights, which are all too common when trying to get rest with a watermelon-sized belly. This drink mix is tasty and good for moms-to-be.
8. Burt’s Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter: Another option for moisturized skin, this belly butter goes on like…well, butter (and is really affordable).
9. Nurtured 9 The Feel Good Pregnancy Gift Box: For a truly luxurious gift, Nurtured 9 creates amazing gift sets for pregnancy, including things like lotions, candles, robes, slippers, eye masks and more. So lovely and will absolutely be appreciated by your giftee (use code FREESHIPSHAPINUP for free shipping over $100). Nurtured 9 gifted me a box and I’m seriously in love.
