What to give a pregnant woman for the New Year?

New Year's gifts are always chosen with special scrupulousness, because you really want to please your loved one. And a pregnant woman, be it a friend, sister or daughter-in-law, wants to give double pleasure. It is easier for a woman who has already gone through this period to choose a gift, since she understands the desire of ladies in an interesting position. For the rest, our article will become a lifesaver, in which we will consider what you can give a pregnant wife, girlfriend or daughter for the New Year.

First of all, it is necessary to decide on the style of the presentation: it must correspond to the holiday and the situation in which the woman is. For the New Year, it is better to give something cozy, warm and festive, so gifts such as a summer dress or sandals will have to be set aside for another season.

It is important to remember that the present will be presented to the fair sex, who is waiting for the baby. Try to give something that she can use right away, and not wait for the birth. Gifts in the form of tickets to a concert or to the theater are unlikely to come in handy, especially for a period of five months or more, since during this period the baby begins to actively kick, and the expectant mother will not be able to sit in one place physically.

When buying a gift, you should also remember that it is purchased for the mother, and not for the baby. You should not give your pregnant girlfriend clothes, toys, cosmetics and accessories for the baby. Firstly, every woman wants to get something for herself, and secondly, some pregnant women become very superstitious and do not accept baby things before giving birth.It is recommended to give such products after the birth of the baby, so as not to put a relative in an uncomfortable position.

It is not recommended to give perfume or cosmetics to ladies in position, even if she really liked this fragrance. Unfortunately, pregnancy is not only the most beautiful period in a woman's life, but sometimes also the strangest one, since at this time tastes and preferences change dramatically. The delicate and summer smell of perfume can cause discomfort, and sometimes even the urge to vomit.

As for cosmetics, then the body's reaction sometimes changes dramatically. Even the most expensive cream, often used before pregnancy, can cause severe allergic reactions or rashes. Be very careful with such gifts even if your daughter-in-law or daughter has just given birth.

Not the most successful gift will be a certificate for a spa or beauty salon. First, not all women dye or cut their hair while waiting for a baby. Of course, many people want to pamper themselves with a relaxing massage or body wrap, but such procedures are strictly prohibited during this period. Secondly, many certificates have an expiration date, so it may turn out that you will not be able to use the services at all.

Consider a list of gifts that any pregnant woman will like and will delight her during such a wonderful waiting period for everyone, when a small miracle will soon appear.

Despite the desire to always look beautiful, already from about the fifth month, when the belly begins to stick out, women especially value comfort and coziness. Therefore, soft and warm pajamas, which will warm you on winter evenings, are perfect as a New Year's gift. Pay attention to the presence of elastic on the trousers, so that as the belly grows, the pajamas remain comfortable to wear. Remember that during this period many ladies gain weight, try to guess with the size.

A universal gift that will be very useful during your first pregnancy. A small notebook where you can write down your feelings at certain times, paste photos and printouts from an ultrasound scan. Many of these diaries contain useful tips for each week of pregnancy and a small information block. The notebook will become a real treasure, because in a couple of years a lot will be forgotten, and inside there will be mother's notes that will remind you of such a magical period.

A universal present that everyone will be happy with. Having received such a gift for the New Year, the expectant mother will be able to independently pick up the things she needs in the store. If the gift is addressed to a work colleague, you can chip in the whole department so that the denomination of the certificate is larger.

Another useful gift that will delight a woman already for a long time, since it is very uncomfortable to sleep with a stomach, and in the morning she is often bothered by back pain. So that the pregnant woman does not feel discomfort at night, she can be presented with a special pillow, designed taking into account the characteristics of the figure.

Such pillows can be of different colors and change shape at the request of the owner. A comfortable sleep is very important while waiting for a baby, so a friend or sister will definitely thank you for such a useful present.

Many pregnant women want to capture a magical period.A wonderful gift will be the services of a photographer specializing in the "pregnant" topic. A professional will definitely offer interesting ideas both for pair photos and separately for the expectant mother. New Year's studios, beautiful dresses and delicate makeup will be at the customer's disposal. By making such a present, you will give the expectant mother the opportunity to forever capture the memories of a wonderful period.

These can be classes in preparation for childbirth or courses for expectant mothers, which will tell you how to swaddle, feed and care for your baby in the first months of his life. At such events, a woman will be able to meet other pregnant women at a similar period, share her observations and get useful advice.

An important part of any course is a psychologist's consultation, which will help you mentally prepare for the birth process.

Very useful gifts that will be useful not only for nine months, but also after the birth of the baby. Proper nutrition is a guarantee of health, and sterile dishes are necessary for both the expectant mother and the newborn. Steamed dishes are delicious and, most importantly, are easily absorbed by the body.

Any woman will appreciate a beautifully designed basket with useful content. It can be filled with bright fruits, jars of honey or caviar, which is a must-have delicacy on the New Year's table. You can put tea sets inside.

The expectant mother will be happy to enjoy strawberries, raspberries, mangoes and other products that are either unavailable or too expensive in winter.

Of course, it is not necessary to give a gift for the New Year with an emphasis on pregnancy. You can also present something classic that will delight a woman in position.

Any woman will be happy with such a gift from a loving husband. Surprise your wife and secretly buy a trip to the holiday home for the winter break. Make sure that there are no medical contraindications for the trip. Fresh air, the absence of such household chores as cleaning and cooking, daily walks and activities in the pool will have a beneficial effect on the state of the lady in position.

Modern holiday homes and sanatoriums offer complete rest, the price of which varies depending on the level of the institution. Since the rest is planned for a pregnant woman, it is important to follow some rules when choosing a hotel:

• it should be at most a couple of hours drive from the city;
• all necessary amenities are required, such as showers, toilets, heating and proper nutrition, a 24-hour medical center on site, and a pharmacy and a grocery store nearby.

Another New Year's gift for your beloved can be a fashionable phone, if possible, get the latest model.

Some gifts do not need to be purchased in the store, you can make them yourself.
