At some point during pregnancy, your best friend will probably receive approximately 400 things for the baby. This is your chance to buy something for her.
The best gifts aren't necessarily the most expensive.
They're the ones that say: I was thinking about you, not just the new person arriving.
1. Something she can actually wear
- A good feeding-friendly camisole.
- A comfortable top or versatile piece she can wear now and later is a far better gift than something she'll use for three weeks.
2. Something that makes her life easier
- A good water bottle.
- A comfortable robe.
- A beautiful tote.
3. Something that solves a tiny daily irritation. Something entirely unrelated to pregnancy.
- Books.
- A restaurant voucher.
- A piece of jewellery.
- Her favourite perfume.
- A subscription to something she actually likes.
Not every gift needs to be a reminder that her identity is changing.
4. Something sentimental (without being aggressively sentimental)
- A handwritten note can beat most things in a gift box. Tell her something about who she is, rather than congratulating her exclusively on who she's about to become.
- And if you really want to nail it... Give her something she would have bought for herself before pregnancy, but hasn't thought to buy because suddenly everyone is talking about the baby.
Because everyone else can buy the tiny socks. You know her. Buy for her.
