My sister just announced that she is expecting. I would like to get her a present, not something for the baby, but something just for her. She is still very early on in the pregnancy, but she already has a ton of books, so those are out.

The most thoughtful gift I have recieved this pregnancy is a gift certificate for a pregnancy spa treatment and massage. There are many local spas out there that do it and it can be relatively inexpensive. It is especially relaxing when your muscles ache or back aches from the stress of carrying a baby.
Another great idea that I did for a friend of mine was we went at night (around close time where they wouldn't be busy or have any fumes) and we got pedicures and a manicure. It was simple but she got her feet massaged and legs and was nice cause she was far along that she couldn't reach her toes! Then we went and got smoothies (ice cream will do the trick too) and rented some movies for some down time :)

What about a piece of jewelry from you to her....to commenmorate the pregnancy?? You are her sister...so you probably know her style. Make it a charm bracelet....and have some charms put on in the beginning. When you give a gift at the shower....attach another charm to the present. If you take a gift to the hospital....another charm. Etc.
Even if it isn't a charm bracelet....jewelry that will remind her of this special time in her life will be well remembered. It doesn't even have to be something really, really nice.
Another idea.....the two of you should go out of town for the weekend together. Go someplace fun.....get a nice hotel room and get spa treatments together. Go see a movie and eat at a great restaurant. Take that board game you always played as kids.....and stay up late playing a marathon session one night!! Do a girls night out.....a sister bonding outing.
I would have loved doing that with my sister....but she lived on the other side of the country.
You are a great sister to be thinking of her like this!!!

My stepmother found out I was pregnant and she buys a box, bag, whatever, set of diapers once a week, different sizes. So, when my baby is born he'll have enough diapers for the first six months. This is a wonderful gift, very helpful and will reduce my costs, stress, etc. in the beginning. If you want to just buy her something buy a baby book, or some kind of baby journal that she can record her pregnancy, place ultrasound photos, etc. It's a great memory for the mom and a wonderful gift for the child later in life.

My husband got me a Boppy 24/7 Body Pillow. It was hands down THE best thing I received throughout my pregnancy. I use it all the time and I plan on bringing it to the hospital when I go into labor (hopefully within the next 4 weeks!!)

most thoughtful gift i got was food.
what is it that your sister likes the best? what is her favorite store for shopping? how about a gift certificate from that store or something to go with a favorite hobby.
once the baby is born, she won't have time to breath......what about homemade coupons for a night of babysitting or a few hours of babysitting so she can get some sleep?
absolute best baby gift for the baby i got would have had to have been diapers!!!!!! you can never have enough diapers and wipes. the best part about receiving so many as gifts is that it allows you to try different brands to see what you like without the expense.

My fiancee's sister, whom I am very close to, got me a set of beautiful silver picture frames. Most were filled up with pictures of her brother and me, depicting all of our happy moments before we found out we were expecting (we've been together 7 years) and then there were blank ones to be filled with pictures of our future son. I managed to put in one picture already . . . our first ultrasound! It was a very sweet and thoughtful gift, something I can look back on and always remember.

For me was my sister taking me out to my favorite restaurant and she paid for it and had a gift bag with a maternity out and a wonderful touching card with a gift card for me to get my nails done and feet and one to go to get my hair and face done. That really touched me and made me cry and went straight to my heart. Most of all when you are pregnant everybody focuses on the baby, things for the baby, buying things for baby. At my shower she got me a another card to go tanning 10 times and a hair cut and highlights. But she did not forget about the baby either! I had 2 sisters and they are wonderful in everyway and it was not all about the baby every month i would recieve 3 cards on from each of them and my mom. We are a very close family and even if you don't have money to do what you want for your sister you can make your own cards they did that too and they also got pictures blown up of us as children and frames that say sisters best friends ect. Just to let me know that they are there for me and went way over board on the shower. But it's little things that mean the most and they wrote in there home made cards like on night out will babysit. ect like that or made coupon's said free babysitting one night out over night stay for babysittng. So here are some ideals hope they help. I got my sister a neclace at Kay's where a mothere is holding her child for xmas while she was prego and she cried. and church mat. clothes out to lunch and it is wonderful just knowing that their there and care about me that is true sisters!!! They called everyday to say hi and to see how i was then how's the baby and that the loved me. They were there for all 5 of my children and watched! You need to let her know you love and care for her!! As much as possible..

Get her a gift certificate to a spa that does prenatal massages. Make sure you check the expiration date becuase she will probably want to keep it to use later in pregnancy when she starts to get all the aches and pains. My husband bought one for me for Christmas. It was wonderful.
