New Year's gifts are always chosen with special scrupulousness, because you really want to please a loved one. A pregnant woman, whether a friend, sister or daughter-in-law, wants to give double pleasure. A woman who has already gone through this period is easier to choose a gift, as she understands the desire of ladies in an interesting position. For the rest, our article will become a wand for help, in which we will consider what you can give to a pregnant wife, girlfriend or daughter for the New Year.
What to consider when choosing?
First of all, it is necessary to determine 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 postponed for another time of the year.
It is important to remember that the present will be presented to the representative of the fair sex, who is waiting for the baby. Try to give something that she can use immediately, and not wait for childbirth. Gifts in the form of tickets to a concert or to the theater are unlikely to be useful, especially for a period of five months, since during this period the baby begins to actively kick, and the future mom will not be able to sit physically in one place.
When buying a gift, you should remember that it is purchased for mom, and not for the baby. Do not give your pregnant girlfriend clothes, toys, cosmetics and accessories for the child. Firstly, every woman wants to get something for herself, and secondly, some pregnant women become very superstitious and do not accept children's things before childbirth.It is recommended to give similar products after the birth of the baby so as not to put the relative in an uncomfortable position.
Moreover, as a rule, future parents want to independently acquire the things necessary for their daughter or son.
It is not recommended to give ladies in position perfume or cosmetics, even if she really loved this fragrance. Unfortunately, pregnancy is not only the most wonderful period in a woman’s life, but sometimes also the strangest one, since at this time tastes and preferences radically change. The gentle and summer smell of perfume can cause discomfort, and sometimes even the urge to vomit.
As for cosmetics, even here the reaction of the body sometimes changes dramatically. Even the most expensive cream, which was often used before pregnancy, can cause a severe allergic reaction or rash. Be very careful with such presentations in case your daughter-in-law or daughter just gave birth.
Some have to change all skin care after childbirth, as the body's reactions have changed significantly over nine months.
Not a good gift will be a certificate in a spa or beauty salon. Firstly, not all women dye or cut their hair while they are expecting a baby. Of course, many people want to treat themselves to 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 happen that using the services does not work at all.
"Pregnant" gifts
Consider the list of gifts that any pregnant woman will like and will delight her in such a wonderful period of expectation for everyone, when a small miracle will soon be born.
Cozy pajamas for pregnant and lactating
Despite the desire to always look beautiful, from about the fifth month, when the stomach begins to bulge, women especially appreciate comfort and coziness. Therefore, as a New Year's gift, soft and warm pajamas are perfect for warming up on winter evenings. Pay attention to the presence of elastic on the trousers, so that with the growth of the abdomen, pajamas remain all the same comfortable to wear. Remember that during this period, many ladies gain weight, try to guess with size.
A model for nursing mothers will be useful after childbirth.

Steam cooker and sterilizer

Vacation together
Any woman will be glad of such a gift from a loving husband. Surprise your wife and buy in secret from her a trip to the holiday home for the winter holidays. First make sure that there are no medical contraindications for the trip. Fresh air, the lack of household chores such as cleaning and cooking, daily walks and activities in the pool will have a beneficial effect on the condition of the lady in position.
Modern holiday homes and sanatoriums offer a complete rest, the price of which varies depending on the level of the institution. Since the vacation is planned for a pregnant woman, it is important to follow some rules when choosing a hotel:
