Is a woman in your circle pregnant? Do you want to make a statement with original gifts that reflect her personality? Then you've come to the right place! In this article, we offer you a list of 7 original gifts for expectant mothers. Far from traditional impersonal gift sets and cuddly toys, you'll find among our selection material or non-material presents that celebrate motherhood. This time, there's no chance of getting it wrong.


1 / A pregnancy bola to connect with her child

If there's one piece of jewelry to give to a woman expecting a child, it's the Bola. It's a unique piece of jewelry attached to a long cord worn over the belly. Inside, there's a small sounding ball that activates with the expectant mother's movements. From 20 weeks, the baby is able to recognize this soothing sound. The bola is therefore one of the small, highly appreciated original gifts for expectant mothers, as it helps create a connection with the future child.


2 / A maternity pillow: essential for a comfortable 9 months

Another original gift for expectant mothers: the maternity pillow. If your friend or sister hasn't invested in one yet, go buy her one quickly! With this type of gift, there's no chance of going wrong, as it is particularly appreciated during pregnancy. With it, a pregnant woman can:

  • relieve her pain: it's an accessory that promotes relaxation, because depending on the position, it allows the pelvis to relax and therefore provides relief;
  • give birth: during labor, it is highly appreciated for supporting the belly or pelvis;
  • breastfeed: correctly positioned, the pillow serves as support for the mother and her child for bottle-feeding or breastfeeding;
  • support the baby: when the child begins to sit up, it is there to ensure safety and prevent the infant from falling over.


3 / A photo shoot to immortalize the baby bump

Do the parents want to keep a memory of the pregnancy? A photo shoot is a brilliant idea to offer! It allows them to keep a memory of the expectant mother's beautiful baby bump. It's also a way for the couple to express their union and love through the lens. With this gift idea, you're sure to please!

4 / A prenatal yoga session

During pregnancy, it is not recommended to engage in intense physical activity, especially if the 9 months are hard on the expectant mother's body. However, staying in shape is important for the body and mind. This is where the prenatal yoga class makes perfect sense! It's a gentle sport recommended by health professionals that helps relieve pain and work on breathing. It's therefore the ideal pregnancy gift for an active woman or one who simply wants to take some time for herself.


5 / A babywearing class

Does your friend plan to babywear her baby? Why not offer her a babywearing session? During this class, she will be introduced to different babywearing methods such as baby carriers, slings, or woven wraps. It's also an opportunity for the expectant mother to learn the safety rules for physiological babywearing. Finally, during a session, you learn how to set up your babywearing device and tie knots. The mother often leaves feeling enriched, and if she's new to babywearing, this class is an excellent gift idea! She can then choose the tool that suits her best.

6 / A weekend with dad to enjoy the last moments as a couple

The 9 months of gestation are the last moments for the parents as a couple. Why not please them by offering them a weekend to enjoy and relax before the baby arrives? A time just for them to connect, take time to think about the name, or simply imagine a new life as a family of three or more.

7 / A prenatal advent calendar

Do you prefer to give a material gift? Offer an advent calendar. Yes, you read that right! With this custom calendar, the idea is to help the mom-to-be wait until the baby arrives with lovely surprises to discover and open every day – nice, isn't it?

So, have you made up your mind among the choice of original gifts for expectant mothers? Ultimately, pleasing a pregnant woman isn't that complicated. You just need to focus on what truly matters during pregnancy: the well-being of the mother and her baby.
