Pregnancy Gift Suggestions?

I just found out that a relative is having another baby (her first passed away shortly after birth about 5 years ago). I would like to give her a Pregnancy Gift Basket some time in December and would like suggestions. I would also like an idea of something I could include for her husband. It's taken them a long time to deal with the loss, so I want to make it happy.



Her belly has as many scars as mine (kindof like the topography of the moon). They itch. I would like suggestions for a cream that would soothe and prevent the itching as time goes on, since preventing more stretch marks is sortof pointless.



Any other gift suggestions would be appreciated!

Pregnancy Gift Suggestions?
What a great idea for your friend!



Some of the ideas I have are:

Preggie Pops

Belli Cosmestics gift set

Bella Band

Hand massager for her back and legs

Pregnancy journal to chronicle this pregnancy

Prenatal massage or pedicure gift certificate

Pregnancy pillow - I can't sleep w/out mine at all

Sonogram picture frame

Maternity pjs or robe

Mederma for the scars

Cute maternity shirt - 2chix.com has great ones



For dad-to-be:

Picture frame - I just bought this 1 for my husband: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp...

Cute t-shirt about his dad-to-be status (again, 2chix.com!)

His own diaper bag



Hope this helps!

Reply:for a cream get BIO OIL It works wonders,.and or a mommy to be t-shirt
Reply:A great idea for a care package (basket) would be to put things in it that will pamper her. Mederma is an excellent skin creme used to minimize the appearance of already formed stretch marks. Also, get her a manicure and pedicure from the local nail shop, and maybe a nice robe.
Reply:Bath and body works has "flavored" cocoa butter stuff. My best friend got me some last Christmas while I was pregnant that was marshmallow. It smelled SO GOOD, I wanted to eat it!



I'm still on the fence about if it really helps for stretch marks, but even if it didn't, I bet she'd like that.



I'm not sure what scents they have, but you'd probably find some other ideas as well while you were in there.



Something nice just for her might be a gift certificate for a manicure and/or pedicure at a local nail salon. Might be something to just lift her spirits and make her feel good.
Reply:just get her stuff the baby really needs, no matter what youll get her the baby is gonna need it, trust me!!! im currently 35 weeks pregnant and i itch alot too, this whole pregnancy i been usuing cocoa butter with the pregnant woman on the front and so far i dont have any stretch marks on my belly...im keepin my fingers crossed tho
Reply:Diapers, wipes and ointment Oh MY!
Reply:Maybe some slippers or massage oils that her and her husband could use on each other. Cocoa butter lotion to help with stretch marks.
