Answer 1

Ohh good question.. whatever you do make sure its just for her.. not the baby...All the attention will soon be all about her pregnancy and then the baby.. She will be left out a little. So make sure she is comfy and happy..

Answer 2

I once got a scrapbook kit (when the whole concept of scrapbooking was new) from my well-meaning sister-in-law when I was pregnant with my last child (who is now 18).
It was a cute idea, but I couldn't put anything into it until after the baby was born and *then* I didn't have the time to finish it 'cos I had a new baby! It got relegated to the back shelf in a closet until some other woman had a child and then I gave it away.

One gift you could give is a "coupon book". You get a large piece of paper and write on it, all the things you can offer your wife. Cut the pieces of paper into the size of a small booklet and then staple it all together into a "coupon book".

Massages, belly rubs (*that* can get sore, too, you know... ), etc. Anything you can think of that you know she'll enjoy.

Once the lil' one is here, you can write out coupons that offer her time alone to do whatever she wants; nap, go shopping, night(s) out with the girls without guff from you, etc.

Instead of offering to help out around the house, DO it!
If housework isn't your forte', and you have the resources, why not have a housecleaning service come in while she's in the hospital and when she comes home, everything will be done for her?

If you can cook, do so. If not, order take-out.

Show her in *so* many ways how much you appreciate her and the fact that she made you a father.

Afterwards, give her small trinkets right outta the blue, "just because... ". Give her daily hugs and kisses... You can go to bed angry, but don't die that way. In other words, clear up any disagreements between you.

Give her a lot of support with the new baby and back her up during parent/child feuds.

Small things count just as much as the big ones. Trust me. Sometimes a show of support is the cheapest and most practical gift of all.

*However*, IF you feel you must give her something for Christmas, why not try a gift certificate solely for *her* to cash in after the baby's born at her favorite clothing store?

She's gonna need a few new pieces to boost her ego and also, to accommodate all the changes her body's gone through. One can't tell *now* what she'll either need then or even if her clothing size will change.

If at all possible, don't make it for a cheesy amount. IF you can, and ONLY if you can, start at $100. Not only because clothing is expensive, but because she *will* be needing more than you can ever think of right now.

Good luck on your choice and congratulations on your
"newest edition/addition"...

First of all, SMART MAN! You didn't fall for the okie-doke! I don't know why some women do that, I'm a woman and I've never found the need to lie like that. Second my suggestion: SPA DAY. Get her a gift certificate for a spa day; extra brownie points for her if you can spring for her and a friend to go with her. She can get pampered and feel all good and when she comes home have dinner ready; you can pick it up from somewhere, but just do it. If spa day is too rich for you, you can still get her a certificate for say a facial, manicure and pedicure, or even cut out the facial. Whatever you do, keep the mani and pedi in there, trust me. Even if she's not all girly, pedicures and massages are the BOMB! Hope this helps.

Jewelry For Pregnant Wife

Answer 5

Why did you rule out clothes? Buy her some cute maternity stuff - she'll love it! (I'm 23 weeks pregnant). Or jewelry, that'll fit no matter what and will make her feel pretty. Or a big fluffy body pillow - she will love you for that later on in the pregnancy!

Also, take her on a get-a-way or something.... she's at the point where morning sickness will soon be over, and the big belly hasn't actually started yet. Second trimester is the best trimester!! One last chance to ENJOY time together, just the two of you!! Third trimester she'll be too big and sore and tired, and after that, well you'll no longer have time for just the two of you.

No hot tubs though! lol, something I really miss.

Answer 6

I think a massage or a day at the spa or something that will help her to feel relaxed. A new purse might be nice because she can't outgrow it. I don't know what you can afford but Coach is really nice and most women won't treat themselves to Coach because it is expensive. I personally have a few, but my neighbor bought a leather one like 10 years ago and she still has it, and uses it all the time and it has not wore out yet.

Answer 8

First the disclaimer: I'm by no means at all an expert on anything to do with pregnancy. ;-D But I've heard that most pregnant women really appreciate massages. Find a good massage spa with a masseuse that is familiar with or specializes in pregnancy massages.

Good Luck!

If there is a nice day spa near you, buy her a gift certificate, she can pamper herself and feel gorgous at least for one day, because she probably doesn't right now, and she deffinatly won't in a few months. My husband bought one for me, and even though i didn't think i was a spa kinda girl, it turns out it was the best gift ever. I was able to relax and be pampered for a few hours.

Answer 10

Get her a gift card for a pedicure and manicure. Girls love to be pampered when they are pregnant. Trust me. Then get a small basket and fill it with things that remind you of your wife. A cd of her favorite band, her favorite flower, some scented lotion from bath and body works. She will really dig it I'm telling you. Plus, she will know that you put in a lot of effort and when it comes time to deliver she will remember that instead of calling you all sorts of swear words for knocking her up. Trust me...

Answer 11

A gift certificate to a spa, or at home spa things like massagers or even just a nice fuzzy robe and slippers.
