Shopping for a pregnant mama is not always the easiest. She may not be able to use the types of gifts you’d normally get her. But you also don’t want to buy her gifts that are actually for her unborn child and not really for her. This pregnancy holiday gift guide will help you balance those considerations. All of the gifts on this list would be both fun and useful for any expecting mama.

Pregnancy Holiday Gift Guide
Athleta Coaster Luxe Sweatshirt
This is the softest, coziest sweater I’ve ever worn. It’s already a bit oversized, and the side slits allow for extra growth. If you get this sweater for a mom-to-be one size up from her normal size, she’ll be able to wear it throughout her pregnancy!
Get it from Athleta for $79
Minnetonka Moccasin Slipper
Expecting mamas need (and deserve) comfort, and that’s exactly what this slipper provides. The faux fur lining and EVA foam insole make these a dream to walk on. And the rubber sole means that she can wear these anywhere, not just in the house.
Get them from Amazon or Nordstrom for $59.95
Winter Puzzle
Pregnancy often means low energy, and the mama-to-be in your life may be struggling with not being able to partake in her usual winter activities. Enter the puzzle! This classic winter activity requires minimal energy and is easy to set aside whenever a nap is needed. Once she’s cozied up with a puzzle, a holiday movie, and a warm drink, skiing and snowshoeing won’t even cross the mind of your friend!
Find it on Amazon for $13.27
Instax Mini Camera
Why wait until the baby arrives to start snapping photos? Giving a pregnant mama an Instax camera provides a fun way for her to capture memories of this very special time, before everything changes.
Get it from Amazon for $73.97
HoMedics Foot Spa
Sore feet are pretty much synonymous with pregnancy. If you know an expecting mother with painful, swollen feet, this foot spa is a must-give. She can fill it up with warm water and find relief for her tootsies, whether she’s on the couch or working from home.
Find it on Amazon for $24.99
Maternity Robe from Kindred Bravely
Nothing feels more luxurious than a satiny robe. Your pregnant mama friend can wear this one over her jammies this winter with plenty of room for her growing belly. And it’s perfect for after she delivers her baby, providing a little glamour after the most tiring and exhilarating experience of her life.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99
Google Nest Mini
This gift will be a lifesaver, both before and after baby. The Nest allows a tired mama-to-be to play music, start a timer, ask a question, and more without having to get up to look for her phone or remote. And after her baby comes, all she has to say is, “Hey, Google. Turn on white noise,” to help them stay asleep during the many stroller naps they will inevitably take.
Find it at Target for $19.99 (on sale at time of posting)
Allbirds Wool Loungers
If your pregnant friend is less into slippers and more into sneakers, Allbirds’ Wool Loungers are exactly what she needs. These incredibly comfy shoes are easy to slip on, so she won’t need to bend over to tie her shoes when her belly gets larger. Plus, Allbirds has chosen materials and production processes that generate less carbon, so you can feel good about this gift for multiple reasons!
Get them from Allbirds for $105

From conception through postpartum, this book provides inspiration and guidance for both baby and mama. The illustrations are beautiful, and the week-by-week breakdown keeps the book from feeling overwhelming. If there’s a mindful mama in your life, The Motherly Guide to Becoming Mama is the perfect gift.
