Baby Swing
Sometimes when you have a small baby, it can be really challenging figuring out where to put them down. Especially if they’re like most babies and they just want to be constantly held. This can make it very challenging to even get basic tasks done like showering, or cooking a meal. For that reason I think a can be a really wonderful gift idea. Because they are a slightly higher priced item, it could be a nice gift to go in with other people together if you don’t have the budget to buy it yourself.
Baby Monitor
If your friend has a registry, maybe take a peek to see if they have a monitor on their registry and to see if someone’s bought one. I personally have really liked having two monitors, so if you end up getting an extra one don’t worry too much I’m sure they’ll find a use for it. These are life savers when you’re needing to rush around the house to get things done and worried you wont hear your baby if they wake or cry.
Massage Voucher
Being a pregnant woman is no joke and it takes a considerable toll on your body. When I was pregnant I was lucky enough to get a number of massages during the last few weeks of my pregnancy and it made such a big difference to my overall comfort levels and energy levels. When you’re a new mother, you spend so long feeding, rocking and holding your baby that your back ends up aching too, in a new way. Massages can be a great gift to give an expecting mother and she can choose whether to take it in late pregnancy or once the baby is here and she’s desperate for some alone time! I find them a great gift to give because it shows you’re thinking about her and not just the .
Some Groceries or Home Cooked Meals
One of my favorite gifts after I had my son was actually some groceries delivered to my house from my best friend. Inside were tons of my favorite snacks, some healthier options like fruit, cheese and even some great oat style bars that I kept in my room for night feeding. If you have the time, pre-cook some freezer meals and deliver them before the baby comes so your friend can have some quick, easy and healthy meals ready for her. This is such a simple way to show you care and the groceries delivery you can even do from the comfort of your own home!
If one of your close friends is becoming a mother, then I’m sure she would love any of these gift suggestions!
