Help with pregnancy giftbasket :)

TiffJ21 · June 2012

Hey ladies,

My bff is 10 weeks pregnant and her birthday is coming up. I thought it would be a good idea to make a pregnancy gift-basket. I know it hasn't been too long since we were all pregnant but I can't come up with anything! Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

Depends on how much you want to spend but this is what I would put in one..

Tums, Seltzer crackers (especially if she has a lot of morning sickness) a gift card to get a pedi and prenatal massage... Heating pad... Wont fit in a basket but a body pillow too.

I had a lot more in my head but as soon as I started typing my brain gave out lol

Good luck!

Lotion and lip balm - my skin and lips got REALLY dry

I definitely second the Tums and the heating pad!

Maybe a little personal-size fan for the summer?

A giant sun hat to keep the sun off of her face. I was so scared of getting the "pregnancy mask", I wore my sun hat all the time.

Bra extenders - They were a life-saver for me. I didn't have to buy any new bras during my pregnancy b/c of them.

Prenatal vitamins

What to expect: The First Year (someone gave me this for a pregnancy gift and it's been a great resource)

A giant water bottle - to remind her to stay hydrated this summer.

Nursing pads. I started leaking really early and was unprepared.

Pickles---I know it's a big joke but dill pickles were the only things that helped with morning sickness sometimes.

Sour candy. Preggie pops.

Those wrist band things that were supposed to help with morning sickness.

Oooo. A belly band for when she can't button her pants anymore! I got mine at Target and it wasn't too pricey.

These are great ideas, thanks everyone!

Burts Bee's makes a few "Mama Bee" products that are neat. Belly Balm, and this peppermint lotion. I think also a belly oil?

I also could not have gotten through my pregnancy without oatmeal bath! I was so itchy and it helped a ton.

Copy of "Happiest Baby on the Block"...

Can't remember who did it, but someone put together a note card set for "What no one ever tells first time parents" with little funny things that you'd never expect to hear..
