for the mom who just found out
bellaband®
Now that her little poppyseed is growing, it won’t be long before she has to retire all her fav denims and cutest work pants. But don’t let her say goodbye prematurely. Extend the wear of her pre-pregnancy pants by gifting our handy dandy Bellaband. Her body is going to feel so unfamiliar and new in no time; give her some extra time in her go-to outfits so things can feel a tad more normal.
Mama jacket
Welcome to the club, we’ve got jackets. Give her a not-so-subtle way of telling everyone her good news with this goes-with-everything denim jacket. It’s ultra-comfy and we added just a touch of stretch so she’ll be layering this on the daily throughout her trimesters and beyond. Bonus points: you can surprise her with the Babe Jacket at the baby shower, so her little one can be her twin from the get go.
the nest robe
No-brainer present? This robe. We gift it to anyone and everyone (yes, even Grandma) when birthdays or the holidays roll around. The fit is customizable so you can rock it with or without a bump and the fabric is, in a word, dreamy. Sleeping while pregnant can be a serious struggle. Give your girl a running start with this cozy-yet-somehow-still-chic robe that can pull double-duty when she's up all night nursing.
Once those first thirteen weeks are up, or whenever she chooses, your mama is going to be SO ready to share her tiny little secret with everyone. This means it’s time to start showering her with textual proof of the miracle she’s growing and the newest name she’s going to be touting. Mama sweatshirt, mama underthings, mama on errything.
For the shout-it-from-the-rooftops mom
mama sweatshirt
It’s never too soon to start reppin’ that new name. Give her a token of her new role that she can wear on the daily. A comfy crew neck never goes out of style, and thanks to its oversize fit, she can wear this cozy cutie all throughout pregnancy and way beyond. Grab one for babe, too!
mama lounge set
She’d never dream about wearing a bra to bed pre-pregnancy, but the times they are a-changin’. This lounge-worthy favorite gives her growing breasts the support they need for a restful night’s sleep. Pair with the Mama Boyshort for a gift set she may not even want to cover up — for the record, we’re totally in favor of lounging in just bras + undies while she’s cooking a little one.
mama beanie
Speaking of cute-meets-practical gifts, this chunky cable knit topped off with a pom pom is perfect for beanie season. But the real star of the show? That subtle "MAMA" repping her new title up front. Of course we made one for her little too since we can't resist a matching moment. #twinning.
If your girl wasn't sustainably-minded before, chances are bringing a tiny new life into the world will change this. Let her rest easy with these thoughtful (and chic!) eco-conscious styles that are gorgeously giftable.
For the earth-conscious mom
The Flutter Dress
Maternity is known to be temporary — aka wasteful — but we're working to tackle this problem right at the design phase. Our RTWX dresses are bump AND babe friendly, meaning she'll love rockin' them before, during, and after pregnancy. The Flutter Dress is a stunner that sneaks in nursing fuction with the button detailing up front. If you have her size, just hit buy. We don't know of any mom who wouldn't love this.
Cozy reversible jacket
The best bang for your buck gift? Two jackets in one. This reversible sherpa checks all the boxes. Cozy on one side, weather-resistant on the other. Pre-and-postpartum friendly. Environmentally safe water repellant. Oh yea, we could go on (but don't worry, we won't). Hit the link below if you wanna learn more.
The unwind Jumpsuit
When it comes to sustainable sleepwear, you've got options in the gifting department. Featuring eco-friendly and naturally breathable modal fabric (made from the pulp of beech trees using less water and waste!), this jumpsuit gets our vote for the most versatile gift. When we say versatile, we mean your girl will be happy as a clam wearing it to bed or out in public — pair with an open button up and no one will bat a lash.
Let’s face it, women are busy. Whether your life is all about work, full-time momming, or a hodgepodge of ever-changing tasks and schedules, using your body as a human oven is kind of a lot to add to any mama’s plate. Trust us, she deserves some self-care more than anyone else.
for the mom in need of spa day
the oil
We *really* believe in the power of skincare during a time when a mama’s body is undergoing peak changes. This EWG VERIFIED™ belly oil is made with only the best botanicals to help her tackle dryness, tightness, and stretch mark prevention. And if you need more convincing, the formula’s got a blissful hint of rose and the gorgeous packaging is just waiting for a bow. Trust us on this one… her bump’s gonna love it.
to mama with love set
There's more than meets the eye for this lil’ bow-and-go set. Formulated with Pipette’s hero skincare ingredient squalane, this gift set of body wash, body lotion, and belly butter (plus an amazing exfoliating brush!), lets her *really* indulge in some me-time moments with plant-based, non-toxic ingredients. They also make a set for babe — such sweet and easy gifts for the whole fam!
sleepy lotion
If you happen to sleep next to one, you know… 78% of pregnant women suffer from insomnia. Handcrafted by an expecting mama who could relate, this non-toxic lotion has helped 1,000s of moms fall and stay asleep thanks to its pure magnesium blend. You know what they say... the best gifts are the ones you get for yourself, too.
the takeaway
Remember this equation: cute + personal = the best gifts for pregnant women. Even though Mom's lil’ plus one may mean some big changes for her, chances are she’s still the same person who enjoys the same things. So if she’s a fashionista mama, wellness junkie, or your favorite gal to movie marathon with, get her a gift that’s unique to her. The thoughtfulness is sure to melt her heart (and the pregnancy hormones help, too!).
When in doubt, look for grow-with-you fits she can wear for months and months (e.g., pregnancy and postpartum-friendly). As for skincare and wellness, you can’t go wrong with keeping things simple (think clean ingredients that are pregnancy-safe). Throw a bunch of items together in a cute ‘lil basket and you’ve got the gift of pampering she’ll surely appreciate.
