The holidays are approaching quickly. If you have a pregnant woman on your gift list, you may be wondering what to get her. Of course, your gift doesn’t have to be related to pregnancy or motherhood, but here are some ideas if you are stuck for ideas.
Maternity Clothing: Nearly all pregnant women need comfortable clothes that fit. If she is a professional woman, she will have a greater need for good clothes to wear to work. Shopping for maternity clothes may not be something you want to do, especially if you don’t know her taste or size. In this case, you can always get a gift certificate to a local maternity store.
Spa Day: A gift certificate to a local spa is a great idea for mothers to be. A relaxing day or morning at a spa may be just what she needs to relieve the stress associated with pregnancy. If she isn’t the spa type or you are on a tight budget, you can make a spa basket for her to use at home. Get a pretty basket and fill it with items that she can use to pamper herself at home.
Health Club Membership: Exercise offers many benefits during pregnancy and beyond. From preparing the body for the rigors of labor to an easier time losing the weight after the baby is born, there are many reasons to exercise during pregnancy. A membership to a health club or a month or two of prenatal yoga classes can help her get the exercise she needs.
Help Around the House: Pregnant women are busy and tired. Whether she is working all day or home with kids, she has a lot to do and often doesn’t have the energy to get it all done. A gift certificate for a cleaning service to come in and give the house a good cleaning before or after the holidays will be greatly appreciated, and remembered fondly for years to come.
Meals: Since she is so busy and tired, give her a break from cooking. You can do this in several ways. A gift certificate to a favorite restaurant is one idea. If she has a large family or prefers to eat at home, you can have food delivered. There are many companies that offer this service. You can find them by searching online.
