It\u2019s important to celebrate the mamas-to-be in your life any time of year\u2014not just around the holidays<\/a>. But we loooove a gift guide<\/a>, so now felt like the perfect time to circle up our favorite finds for pregnant ladies. And while you probably can\u2019t gift your pregnant friend the things she *really* wants, like a giant glass of ros\u00e9<\/a>, sushi, and brie (ALL the brie), you can wrap up beautiful, pampering presents that\u2019ll help her feel like the goddess she is. Think: face masks for her belly, the softest sweaters<\/a>, and bump-friendly<\/a> jumpsuits and robes she\u2019ll love now\u2014and later. <\/span><\/p>\n

Scroll on to find the perfect Christmas gift (or Chanukah gift, birthday gift, just-because gift, etc.) for your pregnant friend!<\/span><\/p>\n

1. A Glowy Belly<\/h2>\n
\"belly

Hatch\u2019s belly masks are a customer favorite, and for good reason: They\u2019re 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 \u2018gram) and a bottle of the most luxe belly oil around.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shop It:<\/strong> Hatch Belly Besties Kit<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

2. A Breezy Jumpsuit<\/h2>\n\"jumpsuit\n

A relaxed-fitting jumpsuit is the one-and-done outfit she\u2019s currently craving. No tight elastic bands around her waist, no jeans digging into her sides\u2014this is the ideal, stylish<\/em> gift for pregnant friend’s growing bump. (Hint: size up and she can wear it longer!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Shop It<\/strong>: Life\u2019s Breezy Black Wide-Leg Midi Jumpsuit<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

3. A Transportive Candle<\/h2>\n

If you can\u2019t take the girl to Paris, bring Paris to the girl, amirite? Burning Brooklyn Candle Studio\u2019s heady Tuileries Escapist candle is akin to taking a stroll through the famous French gardens\u2014without actually hopping a flight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shop It:<\/strong> Brooklyn Candle Studio Tuileries Escapist Candle<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

4. A Cute Crop Top<\/h2>\n\"cropped\n

A sweet sweater that stops just short of her bump makes all the leggings and maxis she\u2019s currently living in feel like full-on lewks. We love a boxy, cropped fit to layer over literally anything.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shop It<\/strong>: Detour Rust Orange Knit Dolman Sleeve Cropped Sweater<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

5. A Sheerly Beautiful Robe<\/h2>\n\"lace\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shop It:<\/strong> Treat Yourself Ivory and Blue Sheer Lace Robe<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

6. An Alternative Baby Book<\/h2>\n\"still\n

Even the most well-intentioned new mamas<\/a> barely have time to fill out an entire baby book\u2014which 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).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
