All women just love gifts and no less when they have decreased mobility and a belly that seems to defy gravity. Few things put a smile on a face like the unwrapping of a gift and finding on the inside a surprise that is fitting to the occasion. An expecting mother deserves all the love and care we have to offer and something that invites her to feel good about herself goes a long way. Here are some tips when looking for a gift. 

How to make that special mom-to-be swell with joy

Baby showers serve the function of assisting in the preparation of the new arrival and to ensure that everything is lickety-split when Junior shows up. To really make an expecting mom happy you can include something for her amongst all the jumpers and knitted shoes. Even better, if you are the husband why not surprise her with a gift bought online that not only shows you care but is also practical and beautiful. It is not as difficult as it may seem to give maternity clothes as a gift. 

Measure and color me in

There are a couple of things that make getting that gift a lot easier. Make sure you have a good idea of her measurements. Have a look at the website where you are purchasing from. They often have a Size Chart and all you need is the size prior to her pregnancy. This is especially applicable to sleep and loungewear. Find out what is her favorite color or recall the time she looked so beautiful. What color was she wearing? Don’t be afraid of choosing a color. Chances are she will love you for it. 

The art of sleepy feeds

After the baby’s birth the weeks feel like a fusion of sleepless nights and caring for the little one. Days appear to blend into the nights and this is the time when sleepwear is appreciated most. Sleepwear often becomes daywear as she eases into an existence that seems to be made up of a succession of catnaps. Because sleepwear is easy to fit into and it is so comfortable she can practically live in it. She can wear it before birth and afterwards make full use of its nursing access without having to tug and stretch.

The leisurely side of loungewear

Although maternity sleepwear nowadays is beautiful enough so that it can be worn during the day do not forget to also take a peep at the loungewear. Cozy hoodies, lounge tops and bottoms are great gifts and will make an expectant mom feel truly pampered. Nowadays they are ultra comfortable and designed with the modern new mom in mind. In the last month before birth these items are often the only comfortable items of clothing they can wear.

Maternity clothing certainly is a great idea when surprising that special pregnant lady with a gift. Whether you are a friend or the dad-to-be you cannot go wrong by choosing comfy sleep or loungewear from the online shop. Buy it earlier in the pregnancy and watch her bloom in front of your eyes!
