    Default Gift Ideas for pregnant friend

    I have a girlfriend whose b-day is coming, and she's about 5 months pregnant. I have NO CLUE what to get her!! (I obviously can't get her drunk like I normally do!) She's a young, cool, tattooed chick, I was wondering if there was a relatively inexpensive website that had cool maternity clothes that I could get her a gift certificate to. I was also considering an ebay gift certificate, has anyone ever used one of these? My friend does not have an ebay account, would that be a pain in the ass for her to use?
    help meeee pleeeeease.........!!!

    One that stands out in my mind is motherhood.com. I bought most of my maternity clothes there.

    When my best friend's little sister was expecting, she did a registry of stuff she wanted at Babie's 'R Us. It was all relatively inexpensive so it was very cool and painless.

    I tried to buy dea a black one piece bathing suit with a white spot on the belly when she was preggo, couldn't find one. I think that is an awesome gift!

    a massage. That's what one of my friend's did for me. It was great and there are masseurs out there that specialize in massage for pregnant women. Just get her a gift certificate.

    As if "cool" maternity clothes exist anywhere.

    But for the baby shower, try http://www.rockstarbaby.de/

    Edit: Woops, I didn't even notice they had some cool clothes for mommies on that site too.

    Great idea! I'm sure everyone will be buying her pregnancy-related gifts, so focus on her! I'm sure she'd appreciate some spa time.

    Personally...you should get her something that she really wants for her birthday (like a massage or whatever)...but I wouldn't get her maternity clothes. People did that for my birthday when I was pregnant, and although I appreciated the thought...I was kind of annoyed at the same time.

    Maybe a cool yoga for pregnancy video, too. heh I LOVED mine...

    But, I would suggest asking her what she wants for her birthday...and then go from there.

    Just wanted to cast my vote for the massage as well.

    I also agree with VG about avoiding the maternity clothes and going with something more personal just for her.

    i am actually 4 months pregnant right now! (i'm tattooed too hehe) so maybe i could help...
    i think the spa thing is a great idea! like a 1/2 hour massage and facial. although its great to get baby stuff, i'd like people to recognize that it's MY birthday (my day) so i'd prefer presents for me. find out if she has cravings and maybe get her that food. take her out to dinner... anything that will make her feel good. when you're pregnant you're concentrating so much on your baby, that it'd be nice to have someone concentrating on you.
    good luck!

    I agree with Starr. Unless she's specifically asked for baby stuff or maternity clothes, I'd skip it. It's her special day, the last one she'll have before she enters Mommyhood. She needs to be shown that she's still seen as an individual, and get the special attention before the baby's born. Because once the baby's here, she'll rarely have days that are hers and hers alone.

    When I was about 5 or 6 months pregnant with Delia, my hubby sent me to get a deep-tissue massage, just because. I loved it!

    Maybe something like that, or a full day of pampering at a spa, like was already suggested. Just make it something for her. She'll appreciate it for years to come.

    Get her something that has nothing to do with being pregnant.

    Anyhow, thanks everyone for the ideas, I think a massage will be it, and maybe a pedicure for good measure!
