Socks

Socks, you may ask? Yes! You will be surprised how much this gift will be appreciated by an expectant mother. However, you should pass up the boring, one colored options and seek out a unique sock that is fluffy, fun and will provide comfort and luxury for the feet. These socks can be used during labor, as well as the many hormone changes that mom’s to be often experience.

Digital Camera or Video Camera

With a new arrival on its way, a digital camera is the perfect way to capture all of the precious memories that are about to occur. Modern technology has produced cameras at extremely affordable prices that capture awesome shots of the new addition to any family. This is a gift that will be used for many purposes and that can provide years of use and enjoyment.

Digital Photo Albums

Yes, your cell phone can snap photos, isn’t your little one’s face worth a bigger screen? You can purchase a digital photo album to carry in your purse and provide the pixels and space that a newborn baby deserves. There are a variety of these items on the market that provide you the size and quality you want at affordable prices.

Custom Gift Basket

Toward the end of a pregnancy, the mom to be is likely to find herself tired, moody and more than anything ready to meet her new little person. However, by this point she is also completely focused on the little life she is about to be responsible for. A great way to give her something that is truly for her, create your very own gift basket. Some things to consider including in the basket are:

  • Candles or incense that will encourage relaxation and stress relief.
  • Lotions and oils for massaging into the skin and relieving aches and pains associated with pregnancy.
  • Comfy socks or slippers.
  • Nail polish or lip gloss.

You can include anything that will help the new mom relax and unwind prior to the arrival of her baby.

What great ideas. With all the exhaustion and plain yucky feeling after childbearing, a spa retreat would likely be very welcome.
