When is the baby due?
My mom just gifted me a big basket of beautiful board books. I loved the counting and alphabet books illustrated by Charley Harper, and another one called "ten little fingers and ten little toes". And there's even one called "eco babies wear green". I loved getting board books since I know we'll be able to use them sooner than regular books.
Even though I'm still in the first tri, I know I would enjoy anything that helps me feel pretty and feminine. Certificates for haircuts or pedis are great, and I know I would love pretty pajamas or a robe.
Burts bees products for both mama and baby might also be a good bet!
I've gotten these for a few baby showers and moms have LOVED them
I know a few moms who SWEAR by these bibs as well.
@MerryC: The baby is due in Feb :D Thank you for all the lovely advice! I definitely want something to pamper mommy as well, so thats part of her Xmas gift
@gogogiraffes: thank you! I shall look into these! :D
Do you knit-crochet or sow? I crocheted a baby blanket for my MOH and I made her a flannel blanket big enough that she'll be able to use it for the little one for a long while. She loved it.
I think books are always a nice gift. What about a baby bjorn or some other sort of baby-wearing wrap? Another idea is some picture frames that she could use in the nursery. Or does she have a nice baby book yet? Perhaps you could splurge on that?
They have pregnancy essentials kit and other great products from Earth Mama Angel Baby
Prenatal Massage!
Does she have a registry yet? Anything off of there would be much appreciated I'm sure. :D
@couawilou: yeah that was my plan today actually! Im gonna get some fabric and sew a quilt :D and then maybe get some extra stuff on the side. Thanks for the input!
@HopingToBeaMama: hmm a baby book? Maybe- but shes so busy all the time Im afraid she might not use it (shes a working mum!) Maybe a small one for the first couple of months? Can you get ones that are for just the first year?
@regberadaisy: nooo I dont think she even has time for a shower, I wish I could throw her one but we live miles and miles away! I have never heard of a prenatal massage before! Is that like a normal message or one for expecting mothers?
@bells: Thank you for your help, I can look into this!
It's specifically geared towards expecting mothers so you want to find a spa that does that. Even the tables are different I believe.
I got my SIL a book from I See Me. They're beautiful books that use the baby's name to spell out a personalized story .
I LOVE those! All our nieces and nephew have one. :)
Does she have any trouble sleeping? I would LOVE a snoogle right now but they are expensive.
I am a pretty "crunchy" mom, and my sister wants to do a lot of the things I do: cloth diaper, breastfeed, etc (she's pregnant now). I threw her shower, so I didn't feel like I had to get her a super extravangant gift, but I still wanted to get her something. I bought her a bag full of essentials: California Baby body wash/lotion/diaper rash cream, natural baby wipes, cloths to use as cloth wipes, a bottle of detergent suitable for cloth diaper washing, and cloth nursing pads. I also wanted to get her a gift for her stay in the hospital, so I bought a "wet bag" (cloth bag where you store dirty cloth diapers in between cleanings...it holds in the smell- they have lots of cute ones on etsy), a book, and a GC to a salon to get her hair cut after the baby (so she feels "pretty" even when she's all spit up on and hasn't slept! lol.
When I first had my baby, some of my favorite gifts were: diapers/wipes, a girly nightgown that just made me feel "pretty", GCs for coffee and panera so I could get out of the house with my newborn and not break the bank, nursing pads (OMG I used so many!!), baby carriers (I had 4 and used them all!) and books. I love all the board books my now 2-year-old has. Especially the classics.
HTH!
This is one of my go to gifts for any new babies. There are so many shapes to choose from for a truely personlized teether. Especially cool to get mom/dad's home state or something fun like that.

Also - Aden & Anais swaddle blankets are AMAZING :)
@mrscheetos: hmm something to look into! Thanks
@les105: wow! Great ideas :D that will definitely help, thank you!
@jilian: Thanks! Will look into it! :D

Hi Everybody!
I know there are some TTC ladies on the bee (of course) I was wondering if any current or soon to be moms have any advice for me as to what kind of gifts to get for my sister? Its almost christmas, and Im getting her some pampering stuff for herself and I want to get some gifts to spoil my niece/nephew with! Yes I have no idea what the gender is, thus we need gender neutral stuff :) Also, Sis is a huge eco- fan and wants alot of naturally based products as much as possible
Please let me know what you would love to have as a mommy to be! So that I can spoil my sister and her baby this Christmas
Thanks for all the help ladies!
