Christmas gifts that focus on the mother and not the baby

[Cluelessuncle]

My brother's wife (sister in law?- sounds odd)

Is dated to conceive in March ,
Guaranteed she will receive countless presents this year that are focused on the baby boy rather than the next 3 months she still has to endure.
I can only guess one of the exciting factors of having a child is being able to choose its first clothes and bibs etc. yourself.
So I'd like to get her something that is focused towards her.

I'm new to the platform and would appreciate any ideas you would be able to suggest.

Thanks

MAternity pj bottoms
New dressing gown and slippers
Netflik or similar
Vouchers for coffee shop or local cafe
Someone to clean for her
Cake

Well what did you buy her last Yr?

Orange daisy -
Thanks great suggestions
In regards to food are the cravings fairly similar then?

Sleeping standing up-
Point well made !
I got them a weekend away, my thinking was some sort of support strap thing or a back massager etc still thought it'd be good to highlight the pregnancy but your not wrong I'll treat it like any other Xmas

If she is Only due in March why would anyone be buying her stuff for the baby for Christmas? Or is this what she's asked for.
As pp mentioned what you got her last Christmas... It doesn't need to be baby related get her something she actually likes and that's just for her xx

Completely agree with you, The family is just overly excited and a little impatient ! I'm ignorant to what a pregnancy can be like and I thought something like a maternity pillow might demonstrate a bit of empathy but you are both right; she's still the same person

If anyone got me a 'pregnancy thing' for Christmas I would probably kill them/scream. I am still me, I will still be me when the baby comes. I don't want Christmas stuff that will only be useful for 3 months.

I know that sounds super ungrateful. Obviously I would be grateful to receive any gift. I just want people to see than I am more than 'the pregnant one'.

For my first baby I would have been utterly thrilled with something that marked me as the pregnant one. Sure others are the same. But it depends on the personality of who you’re buying for, only you know that.

In answer to your q op, I didn’t have any cravings apart from salt and vinegar crisps for one day fairly early on.

Ikea fake (non alcoholic) mulled wine was nice, if you want to get her something she can drink when everybody else is indulging in the real stuff.

My first baby was due in the May and I was given so much ' for the baby' for Christmas. It was kind that people thought of the child but I did note my husband was given stuff for him only! Anyway, some lovely 'me' things I was given was the sanctuary spa maternity range. Maybe something like that?

My MIL brought me lovely WHITE pajamas in a size up for when I was further along and breastfeeding. WHITE.
. and then I was in hospital with DS for months nad I've never worn them. Maybe after I deliver these babies.

Depending on budget a night away somewhere would still work so long as it was for Jan / Feb or if she's a fan of theatre etc maybe some vouchers so she can pick a show later in the year? You're not my SIL cos I don't have one lol bit I'd like the vouchers for the theatre to use in my own time

Our DD is due around Christmas and at this stage I barely feel like myself anymore. The only person who really gets it is my best friend, everyone else has been treating me as a mothership to the baby. Don't get me wrong, we're guilty of this just as much - since 6m into this pregnancy I can't recall doing/buying anything for myself - it has all been about the baby girl. However, my best friend made me cry when she announced she'd be getting me a 'me' present (she did it to make sure I was ok with it) - a voucher for a day in a spa which has pregnancy offers but also some usual stuff and the best thing is that I can use within a year (so it is up to me if I want it before or after the baby comes). So maybe something like that?
