Ideas for a personal themed gift for my pregnant daughter in law.
Luxury skin care/ bath and shower?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

What do you mean by personal themed? It's not clear.

Those are just generic gifts, @PregnancyTreat. They’d only be personal if you’d had a long and detailed chat about what she currently uses and what she wants to swap to having researched absolutely every possible brand for their positive pregnancy effects.

There is a book by Emily Rollings called Birthday Letters to my Baby. It’s a book that your DIL can write in each year around the time of the baby’s birthday to record things about that year. I think the idea is that they hand it over one day, but I might keep mine forever!

Or how about a gift card for a spa that offers pregnancy themed treatments?

For me I always loved a decent sized dressing gown. Some nice skin care, maybe a pregnancy massage ?

A voucher for a pregnancy massage.

The greatest present I think anyone has ever bought me was MIL. A whole crate of my favourite (soft) drink. I was so dehydrated in hospital after giving birth, and tied to the sofa BFing after, it was magical.

Everyone else, blah blah flowers and nonsense.

I miss MIL a lot.
