Gift for newly pg friend

I was pg once but I can't recall wanting anything in particular
besides books. My friend is in her early stages of pg - about 10 weeks
- with her first. I'd like to get her something but all I can think of
are books, and she's not as much of a book hound as I am.

I can think of more useful gifts to prepare for baby in late pg, but
what about early days? What would you have liked? Something on the
small/not too expensive but useful side.

Thanks

A card.

toiletries, nice ones, particularly things that have smells which either
reduce nausea, or boost energy levels. My husband picked up a pack of 4
small bottles of aromatherapy bubble baths, I loved them all! I good
bath was a major boost.

Vouchers towards maternity clothes stores/nursery stores? You don't need to
get a lot, they'll all come in handy.

But make sure that those things won't bother her and/or give her a headache,
or she is allergic to it. I can't tolerate perfumy stuff. I am allergic to
most lotions and make up. Bubble baths give me yeast infections. I am just
saying make sure you know her tolerance for these things before you give
them to her.

Does she celebrate Christmas? What about an ornament
to commemorate the pregnancy?

Best wishes,

May be a bit steep for a "token" gift, but this time around I got a
Bella Band ($25-30) and was quite tickled with it. It's a nice-
looking spandex tube that you can use for that phase when you're too
big for regular clothes and too little for maternity clothes. It
looks like an undershirt or camisole peeking out from under your shirt
and holds up your pants with the fly open. Worked quite well. I
anticipate getting some use out of it on the way back to regular
clothes too.

When I found out my daughter was pregnant I sent her a tiny pair of red
sneakers. She and her husband were tickled at how small they were.

I love the sneakers idea! All the ideas are great...I didn't have much
time so I went by my old stand by of books, which she was pretty happy
with. I will remember these for next time!
