Holiday gifts?

Stealing this from June 2017.  For those of you celebrating a winter holiday with gift giving, what are you asking for/hoping for year?

As a FTM, I'm not really sure what I'm going to need when or how much this is all going to cost, so I'm at a loss and need ideas.  

Re: Holiday gifts?

  • I asked for gift cards to some clothing stores that sell maternity clothes. We haven't revealed this pregnancy to anybody yet, so unfortunately I couldn't ask for specific clothing items. 
  • Maternity pillow. DH bought one as an early xmas gift. Slept so well last night.
  • Loading the player...
  • I asked for gift cards to maternity places. I also asked for a yeti cup so I can constantly have cold water. I won't drink it unless it's freezing. 
  • @BabyBump2 I have a Yeti cup and it has been a lifesaver. Definitely worth the price if you use it everyday. 
  • @HazePistol Which maternity pillow did you get? I'm thinking about putting one on my Christmas list!

    @hqinmd Do I remember that you mentioned using one, too?

    Other than that, the only thing semi-pregnancy related is a Hydroflask - I've also been craving super cold water! Not sure if I'll really ask for anything else since it's so early.

  • @RunRestRepeat I have the snoogle mini. It's still big enough, just doesn't give a pillow for your head (because I'm picky about my pillows for sleeping on so that worked for me). The regular snoogle is huge and goes up under your head. My SIL has the full-size and loved it. 
  • Spa gift certificates are a good request too. A lot of places do a prenatal massage. 
  • I asked for a dresser with a charger top. But it has to bolt in. Our current changing table is falling apart and we need more storage anyways. 

    I also asked for a pack n play with a changing table and bassinet for the first floor but I'm undecided if I really want it. We did without it with DS so I don't think we need it but it would be nice. 
  • @hqinmd a pillow sounds amazing.  Does anyone know if there is a place where they can be tried out?  I guess I'm looking for the pregnancy pillow equivalent of mattress superstore...
  • Thanks, @hqinmd! I'm glad I'm on the right track - I was between the snoogle and the snoogle mini. I love my regular pillow, so the mini might be a better choice. Decisions, decisions!

  • A laptop, nothing fancy just something I can use daily. I won't be asking for anything baby or pregnancy related. 
  • @theweevee I don't know about trying them out but they do have them in-store at Babies R Us. 
  • I really just want some new Lularoe leggings, DH will usually let me pick out a couple of pairs so he doesn't have to.

    I wish I could get more. My H would kill me if more showed up.

    I think if DH knew exactly how many pairs I have he'd cut me off but as long as he's buying I'll take them! Lol

  • Have ya'll seen the elegant collection?!? It's gorgeous!
  • @ashaw512 YES!! There is a teal and gold Amelia I have my eye on. Some of the super shiny ones didn't look super flattering though.

  • @rae. I LOVE amelias!
  • @ashaw512 yes I'm obsessed! I've never bought any thing other than leggings and Irma's but I may step out of my comfort zone soon since I hate wearing pants anyway and being pregnant gives me more of an excuse

  • @ashaw512 I don't have one yet - it is definitely what I want to try next. But I will probably wait until post baby at this point since it doesn't seem like it will hit well with a baby bump.

  • @BabyBump2 If you have a Walmart near you (or can order online), the Ozark Trail cups work just as well as the Yeti's and are only $10.  We have 2 of them and they're great!

    I asked for new sheets for our bed this year.  The ones we have now need to go.
