Secret santa present for pregnant colleague

[onedsrightnow]

Hi, I got my pregnant colleague in the office secret santa! I have no idea what to get, budget is £15, help!

why is her being pregnant relevant? We can't help you, as we have no idea of her likes and dislikes.

What about a voucher for a shop she likes that doi maternity clothing or forget the pregnancy and go with anything else she likes:

Perfume
Book
Smelllies
Candle
Coffee shop voucher

Slipper socks
Nice hat and scarf set
Hobby related?? Gardening, sewing, knitting, art..

Something like a luxury hot chocolate kit from somewhere a bit posh. I may be projecting my pregnant love for hot chocolate a bit here...

Condoms .... sorry no help but it made me giggle

A nice lipstick
Hotel Chocolat box
Voucher for nice nail salon
A massage voucher
Little rucksack (my back was too sore for my usual handbag when pregnant)
Nice candle, Aldi do good Jo Malone dupes

Penguin, I would usually give a bottle of wine or something, so that's why being pregnant is relevant. Thanks for your helpful comment though

Gro egg is a nice little gift.

Or grooming kit from Mothercare.

These are both recent purchases we made for our baby that we are very happy with.

A travel changing mat comes in handy too, especially so when I was in hospital.

I got some lovely bubble bath for secret Santa when pregnant.

Thanks everyone, that sanctuary gift box looks lovely! Will try to get one of those :)

Fair enough - I thought you were looking for baby-related suggestions, which is why the I wouldn't be too happy with a baby-related secret santa present!

Honestly I'd get her some cashmere socks or something- House of Fraser have them for less than a tenner and my mother is 100% getting a pair. Once baby's here she'll be inundated with baby-related presents. You might as well get her something completely impractical/luxurious for her.

For my first ever work secret santa when I was very young, I bought a pregnant colleague stretch mark cream, after hearing her worrying about them. I thought I was very clever and had done well.

I recommend you do not do that. The poor woman's reaction still haunts me.

Rawson’s retreat alcohol free prosecco from Waitrose is actually pretty decent and around £5 if you did want to add some drink

From Tesco sorry!

Council 😂

When I was pregnant I got a board book for the baby. I was thrilled (budget was lower though). It's the first useful secret Santa gift and as it was my first baby I was definitely more interested in stuff for me than for it.

*for it than for me. Ooops.

I wouldn't want a baby-related gift.

Posh bubble bath i loved the bath in late pregnancy or an insulated travel mug. Getting time to make and then drink hot tea or coffee with a new born is a challenge.

Don't get a baby related gift. Just get whatever you would normally get her.

Won’t she get stacks of things for the baby when it is born?

I’d go for alcohol free prosecco and nice chocolates unless you know she’s into something else.
