August’s pick of the month is maternity themed! There are so many things to buy and prepare for when you are expecting and we often mainly focus on buying gifts for babies, but this list is going to be dedicated to gifts for the expecting mothers! I interviewed some moms who have been through the process about what their favorites are, as well as conducted some research of my own. Here is a round up of mom-to-be gift ideas!
- Tummy butter
- Sleep lotion to help with restless legs
- U-shaped pillow, or this smaller option
- Zero proof spirits – for pregnancy-safe partaking!
- Mushroom coffee – healthier option with less caffeine than the average cup of joe.
- maternity leggings from either Beyond Yoga or Blanqi
- Belly Support belt
- Cute beach pants
- Hatch belly sheet masks and belly oil
- A couple of options for hospital kits, so she has everything she needs when the time comes! This one is from Frida and this one is Hatch.
- Compression socks
- This one is a rec from a doctor – if mama is traveling on a plane, you can get radiation blocking clothing for the flight from LAMBS
- I heard Bodily has great birth and recovery products, including hospital kits, nursing essentials, undies, and other supportive products.
More Ideas
I’m including some additional mom-to-be gift recommendations that some mom friends swear by!
- Palmer’s cocoa butter tummy butter and massage lotion. Or you could get the whole set!
- C-shaped pillow
- pregnancy undies
Hope this gives you some inspiration for how to spoil the mom-to-be or moms-to-be in your lives!
