A gift for a pregnant woman

A party where they and their closest friends will hang out one last time before a new, even more beautiful phase of life begins. And for some mums-to-be, friends also organise a pre-birth party. Often it is a surprise party.

There are many things to pay attention to when organising a surprise party like this, and all the details need to be well thought out so that the mum-to-be is really impressed. We need to prepare a list of invitees and make sure that we do not invite anyone that the expectant mother does not want at the party or forget anyone that she does want at the party. We need to provide drinks and snacks, prepare different tasks or games and choose the gifts.

Choosing a gift for a pregnant woman is often one of the more difficult choices. We always want to buy something nice and useful. Something that the mum-to-be doesn''t already have or want, but may not be able to afford herself. To help you choose, we''ve put together a list of beautiful and practical gifts to give your mum-to-be.

Choosing the right gift

It is not necessary to buy a pregnant woman a gift that is intended for her newborn baby. You can choose a gift that is purely for the mum-to-be and will help her transition into her new role. We believe that a combination of both is best. So, a gift for the newborn and a gift for the expectant mother or mum-to-be.

Gifts for the expectant mother

• A pedicure, manicure or massage for pregnant women: any mum-to-be would love this. Personal care is becoming more and more difficult with a growing tummy, so a voucher for a beautician will come in very handy. A relaxing massage will calm her down and give her fresh energy for new ventures.
• Pregnancy and baby diary: to record the most beautiful moments and memories.
• A breastfeeding T-shirt or nightgown: a gift that will certainly make it easier for new mothers to feed their baby.
• Changing backpack: what mum-to-be wouldn''t love a trendy changing backpack that is both useful and fashionable. We recommend a leather one, as it''s easy to wipe clean if it gets dirty.
• Sleeping and breastfeeding pillow:used to help you sleep during pregnancy and to help you breastfeed afterwards.
• Professional photography: pregnancy or birth photography is certainly one of the best and most beautiful gifts, as every mother wants to have as many memories of this beautiful period as possible and photographs are ideal for preserving memories, as they can capture the most beautiful moments.
• A book: you can give a book that relates to the topic of childcare and upbringing, or you can give a novel or a beautiful story that will help the mum-to-be to count down the last days until the birth.
• Chocolate or chocolate cake: we all know that pregnant women have a bit of an appetite, so a good chocolate will be a great choice. At Mojačokolada.si we have personalised chocolates that you can design to your liking, a variety of sweets and a large selection of healthy chocolates.

Baby gift

• A nesting cushion: a cushion that offers security, comfort and support to the baby, thus facilitating the transition from mummy''s tummy to the baby''s cradle. It can be used for sleeping, snoozing, as a play surface or as a changing surface.
• Bodysuits with funny sayings: because you can never have enough cute clothes.
• Baby handling classes: we can buy vouchers for practical and educational workshops or individual classes with a home visit.
• Bown therapy: this is a gentle therapy that helps to soothe baby''s cramps, reduce restlessness, relax muscle tension, help the digestive system develop, etc.
• Personalised book: a beautiful gift that is not just a toy but can be kept as a nice memory.
• A cooker and a steamer for preparing baby food: introducing thick foods is quite a challenge for most mums, so a cooker will be a big help.
• Tetra nappies: you can never have enough of these and, especially in the first months, they are very handy.
• Hand or footprint kits: so that the memories of little hands and feet last forever.
• Photo cards for milestones: they can be used to immortalise all the important events in the first months of your baby''s life in a lovely way.
• A rest or a rocker for the baby:one of the more expensive items that many mums can''t afford, this can be an ideal babyshower gift if we decide to buy together.

But we must remember that no gift is worth as much as friendship and support on a new journey in life. We are sure that it will mean a lot to a mum just to call her several times to ask how she is feeling, to keep her company on a walk with her baby or to offer to help her tidy up the house and prepare lunch, as there is often no time for housework when you have a small baby.
