Mother’s Day is coming up, which means it’s time to put together the perfect present for not only the maternal figures who helped raise you but also the people in your life who are soon-to-be mothers themselves! Whether the person expecting is your partner, spouse, best friend, or colleague, take the opportunity to spoil them with a gift ahead of having their child. From flowers to frames, there’s a host of wonderful Mother’s Day presents you can treat them to. Take a look at some of our favorite gifts for those expecting moms in your life:
Flowers are a classic gift for nearly all occasions, and for good reason! They bring joy and serenity to any room. For an expecting mother, consider a floral arrangement for Mother's Day containing flowers that symbolize motherhood. For example, carnations are the official Mother’s Day flower (especially pink ones), and lilies have long been associated with divine femininity and motherliness in both Eastern and Western cultures. Or you can always opt for a flower gift basketas a thoughtful gesture for anyone who is expecting.
Often exceeding the life span of bouquets, a live Mother's Day plant will make an excellent long-lasting gift. The best part? The expecting mother won’t necessarily need a green thumb to keep it going! From orchids that require a bit more care to hardy succulents that can withstand almost anything, there’s a houseplant for every soon-to-be mama.
From pregnancy cravings to just a bit of comfort eating, many expecting mothers will want a yummy treat from time to time! And, we know that a delightful high-end snack gift basket will hit the spot. From fresh fruit and nuts to an array of decadent candies and cookies for something more indulgent, there’s a basket for everyone this Mother’s Day!
Being pregnant or in the process of adopting can be an incredibly stressful time, not to mention the pressure that follows birth or adoption! So, help the expecting mama take a load off by gifting them a relaxing prenatal massage, facial, manicure, pedicure or any other pregnancy-safe spa therapy you know they’ll enjoy.
Although most of us use our smartphones to store our photos, there’s nothing quite like an old-fashioned hard copy kept in a beautiful frame or photo book. From ultrasounds and birth or adoption certificates to birthing and coming home photos, there are so many pictures you’ll want to cherish and keep safe forever. A baby-themed photo frame or album is the perfect way to protect these memories.
Whatever gift you choose to send this Mother’s Day, be sure to order it before the expecting mother welcomes their baby into the world and their home! They’ll cherish your thoughtfulness and it will be a representation of how much you care and support them in their journey.
