Christmas gifts are always chosen with special scruples, because you want to please a loved one. A pregnant woman, be it a friend, sister or daughter-in-law, wants to give double pleasure. A woman who has already gone through this period, it is easier to choose a gift, because she understands the desire of the ladies who are in an interesting position. For the rest, our article will be the magic wand, in which we will consider what you can give a pregnant wife, girlfriend or daughter for the New Year.
What to consider when choosing?
First of all, it is necessary to decide on the presentation style: it should correspond to the holiday and the situation in which the woman is located. On New Year's Day, it is better to give something cozy, warm and festive, so gifts such as summer sundresses or sandals will have to be postponed for another season.
It is important to remember that the gift will be presented to the fair sex, who is waiting for the baby. Try to give something that she can use immediately and not wait for the delivery. Gifts in the form of tickets to a concert or theater are hardly useful, especially for a period of five months, since during this period the baby begins to kick actively, and the future mom will not be able to physically sit in one place.
When buying a gift, it should be remembered that it is purchased for the mother, and not for the baby. Do not give a 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 such products after the birth of the baby, in order not to put the relative in an uncomfortable position.
Moreover, as a rule, future parents want to independently acquire the necessary things for a daughter or son.
It is not recommended to give ladies in the position of perfume or cosmetics, even if she loved this fragrance very much. Unfortunately, pregnancy is not only the most beautiful period in a woman’s life, but sometimes also the strangest, because at this time tastes and preferences change dramatically. The gentle and summer smell of perfume can cause discomfort, and sometimes even the urge to vomit.
As for cosmetics, then 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 similar gifts in case your daughter-in-law or daughter has just given birth.
Some have to change the entire skin care after childbirth, as the body's reactions in nine months have changed significantly.
Not the most successful gift will be a certificate in a spa or beauty salon. Firstly, not all women in the waiting period of the child paint or cut their hair. 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 using the services will not work at all.
