Everything Your Pregnant Friend *Really* Wants for the Holidays

It’s important to celebrate the mamas-to-be in your life any time of year—not just around the holidays. But we loooove a gift guide, so now felt like the perfect time to circle up our favorite finds for pregnant ladies. And while you probably can’t gift your pregnant friend the things she *really* wants, like a giant glass of rosé, sushi, and brie (ALL the brie), you can wrap up beautiful, pampering presents that’ll help her feel like the goddess she is. Think: face masks for her belly, the softest sweaters, and bump-friendly jumpsuits and robes she’ll love now—and later.

Scroll on to find the perfect Christmas gift (or Chanukah gift, birthday gift, just-because gift, etc.) for your pregnant friend!

1. A Glowy Belly

Hatch’s belly masks are a customer favorite, and for good reason: They’re packed with skin-supporting ingredients to help minimize stretch marks, and they also serve as a great excuse for a little self-care (oh, I just have to lie here with a mask on my belly? OK). This adorable kit also includes the cutest temporary belly tattoos (perfect for the ‘gram) and a bottle of the most luxe belly oil around.

2. A Breezy Jumpsuit

A relaxed-fitting jumpsuit is the one-and-done outfit she’s currently craving. No tight elastic bands around her waist, no jeans digging into her sides—this is the ideal, stylish gift for pregnant friend’s growing bump. (Hint: size up and she can wear it longer!)

Shop It: Life’s Breezy Black Wide-Leg Midi Jumpsuit

3. A Transportive Candle

If you can’t take the girl to Paris, bring Paris to the girl, amirite? Burning Brooklyn Candle Studio’s heady Tuileries Escapist candle is akin to taking a stroll through the famous French gardens—without actually hopping a flight.

4. A Cute Crop Top

A sweet sweater that stops just short of her bump makes all the leggings and maxis she’s currently living in feel like full-on lewks. We love a boxy, cropped fit to layer over literally anything.

Shop It: Detour Rust Orange Knit Dolman Sleeve Cropped Sweater

5. A Sheerly Beautiful Robe

This swoon-worthy pick is sure to feature prominently in her maternity photoshoot. But aside from that, delicate lace and a swingy, sheer shape will make even the slouchiest PJs feel sophisticated.

Shop It: Treat Yourself Ivory and Blue Sheer Lace Robe

6. An Alternative Baby Book

Even the most well-intentioned new mamas barely have time to fill out an entire baby book—which is where these super modern birth posters come in. Enter a few quick stats, a pretty photo, and voila, a timeless piece of custom art for the nursery (after the little one arrives, of course). 

Shop It: Still Novel Birth Stat Art Print

*Need a few other ideas for the postpartum stage? Try luxurious slippers to pad around the house,  a snack subscription box to keep up with breastfeeding cravings, or even a few home-cooked dinners delivered for when bb arrives!*
