What to buy when... Your friend is pregnant

Sometimes it can be tricky to know what to buy a friend if they're pregnant.  You may want to buy a special present to celebrate their pregnancy or it maybe their birthday etc... What ever the occasion here are a few ideas for what to by when your friend is pregnant.

Chime Necklace

£39.95
I first came across this gorgeous necklace from the wonderful babes with babies website about 5 years ago when a friend from work wore it and have bought it for a couple of friends since.  It has a lovely delicate chime inside which is soothing for both mother and baby who hears it in the womb.  The baby may recognise this chime when they come out and it can help to soothe them.  I think it's a lovely piece of simple jewelry that is good for both mum and baby.

Pregnancy Massage

  Price varies dependent on salon
A friend bought me a voucher to have a massage when I was pregnant with my first and when I had it done it was pure bliss! I loved every second of it and felt wonderful for the rest of the day.  It was so nice to have some aches and pains taken away for a while.  If I could I would have had a massage every week during the final trimester.

YSL Touche Eclat

So annoying that with pregnancy sometimes comes insomnia.  It's so wrong and annoying - you know that at the end of pregnancy you're going to be sleep deprived so why has mother nature insisted in making it so hard to sleep whilst you still can?!  In the first trimester you might not be able to sleep or like me you might not be able to stop sleeping but was still exhausted and then comes the 3rd trimester.  If you manage to manoeuvre your bump into a comfortable position then great but this doesn't mean you'll get a full nights sleep.  I remember getting up at 5 because it was just frustrating staying in bed when I couldn't sleep.  So your friend may well appreciate this beauty miracle. And if they don't appreciate it during pregnancy then they'll certainly use it when the baby comes!!

Clarins Maternity Gift Set

This clarins set looks beautiful and contains; stretch mark control, tonic beauty treatment oil, beauty flash balm and is £37.  It's a gorgeous gift for any friends who's waistlines are expanding!

Pedicure

So there comes a time when your friend may not be able to touch her feet too easily anymore.  So maybe a pedicure to cheer her toes up would be a nice present.  She may not be able to see them but you can tell her how pretty they are.

Magazine Subscription

Much like when you start to plan a wedding your reading material often starts to change. Your friend may appreciate a subscription to a parenting and baby magazine after all it's good to get nice post and not bills through the post.
