Pregnancy is an exciting, emotional, and transformative time, a journey full of new beginnings.
If you’re looking for the right way to support a friend, colleague or loved one during this chapter, a thoughtful gift can go a long way.
Whether it’s for a baby shower, a maternity leave send-off, or simply to say “I’m thinking of you,” here’s our guide to choosing meaningful gifts that show you care.
Gift Ideas for the Mum-to-Be
The Comfort and Care Edit
These gifts offer everyday comfort and moments of calm, just what a mum-to-be needs.
- Fluffy Socks: Soft, warm, and perfect for putting her feet up.
- Herbal Tea: A gentle, caffeine-free pick-me-up for those low-energy days.
- Collapsible Cup: For staying hydrated, whether she's commuting or nesting.
- Body Bar: A touch of spa luxury, with a clean, grounding scent.
- Mindfulness Deck: Daily prompts to pause, reflect, and connect.
For Self-Care & Rest
Gifting her time to rest and recharge is one of the best ways to show support.
- Nourishing Belly Mask: A soothing skin treat for a growing bump.
- Natural Body Lotion: Gentle, hydrating skincare for sensitive skin.
- Magnesium Bath Soak: Helps ease tired muscles and promote restful sleep.

Baby Shower Picks
If you’re attending a baby shower and want a mix of practical and personal:
- Pregnancy Journal + Pen: A beautiful space to reflect, record milestones and plan ahead.
Creative and Thoughtful Gifts
If you're after a standalone present or something a bit more personal:
- Flower Embroidery Kit: A relaxing, mindful craft project - ideal for creative types or anyone who wants a quiet moment to unwind.
- Becoming Mama Pregnancy Journal: Thoughtfully designed to support emotional wellbeing, track milestones, and document memories. Includes checklists, space for baby name ideas, and interviews with other mums.
Make It Your Own
If you’d rather pick and mix your own selection of gifts, that’s a great option too. Choose a few items you know she’ll love; a nourishing bath soak, her favourite herbal tea, a baby item or two and present them with a handwritten card and your own wrapping.
A thoughtful gesture doesn’t need to be extravagant. The best gifts are ones that make her feel seen, supported, and celebrated during this life-changing season.
