Secret Santa for a Pregnant lady - what suggestions?

19 replies

ELF1981 · 13/12/2006 19:37

We are doing Secret Santa at work and I've picked out the name of the woman who is seven months pregnant. I dont want to get her anything for the baby, I want to get something for her (she is being made redundant as well so she's had a sucky year). Minimum spend of £5, no maximum. I cant spend too much and I need to be able to get it tomorrow / Friday.
Any suggestions?

Raspberry leaf tea with a note from Santa telling her not to open it until she's 39 weeks!

Nice bath stuff.

dara · 13/12/2006 19:41

I'd have HATED raspberry leaf tea, btw!

DarrellRivers · 13/12/2006 19:41

nice makeup ?
jewellery? some nice stuff in accesorize(sp)

nice toiletries? I loved baths when I was heavily pg and if she's ahd a bad year she may not be able to afford little indulgences.

Nice choccies or a wee bottle of champagne/cava for when teh baby arrives.

it was a joke dara.

BrandyTutter · 13/12/2006 19:45

marmite
choc penguins
wotsits/quavers

(sorry, just running through what i'd like...)

ah, she's 7 months

when i was that stage i liked wearing scarves (silk, not woollen!) knotted around my neck for work - detracted from alarming belly and made me a little more glamorous

MammyMto3kids · 13/12/2006 19:45

Fybogel, sore nips cream, earplugs????

Sorry, only joking!!!

Definitley something treat-y, how about a foot bath? At 7 months your feet KILL you, remember???!!! Otherwise anything smellies, jewellery, nice choccies... Bless her, poor lady reduntant and pregnant, no fun..

5 lottery tickets

beansprout · 13/12/2006 19:49

Definitely something pampery, nothing related to the baby, god knows there will be enough of that in the months to come!

there's a lovely bath range in boots for preg ladies and it does a gorgeous bubble bath - think it's called mediterranean

ELF1981 · 13/12/2006 19:50

Oooh, like the lottery ticket suggestion - could get her one for every draw between now & new year, along with some smellies etc.

She's such a lovely girl as well, and had waited ages to decide on the right time to get pg, only to be told before she announced the pregnancy that her job was going to be redundant.

Am looking on Boots now for some nice smellies.

I wish you could buy memory sticks for humans, I know I needed one after having my DD, so she might appreciate that!

How about a post baby relax kit.

Something nice for the bath
Some Chocolate
A little bottle of wine
A magazine
A pair of earplugs.

I told dh to get one for their pressie thing at work.
They could only spend £1 so we got 1 lucky dip and wrapped it all up in tissue and put it in a big box

Everything in Lush is suitable for preganat ladies. you could get her a couple of bath bombs, bubble bars.
The mediterranean range in Boots is lovely and the Elle Mcpherson range too.

I had my secret santa at work today and I am 23weeks pg with twins.

I received 2 bottles of raddox, 2 anti-stress face masks, some hand cream and a box of maltesers.

Really appricated that and with lottery tickets it would have been more perfect

angmarie · 14/12/2006 14:36

a big box of Thorntons chocs and a little bottle of bubbly to have after baby is born

One of the Mumsnet books -what better preparation for motherhood could she have?
