25 best gifts for pregnant women, approved by GLAMOUR mums

Featured in this article
Unlike tracking down suitable gifts for pregnant women, shopping for a new baby is fairly easy — a sweet stuffed toy, alongside a coordinating baby grow, and you're good to go. But what perfect present says ‘congratulations’, ‘I’m thinking of you' and preps the mum-to-be for parenthood in one?
We should also mention that pregnant women put up with a lot, from morning sickness and weird cravings, chronic backache and a weakened pelvic floor, so they deserve to be spoiled. Thankfully, founder of LittleList, Katie Massie-Taylor, has some useful suggestions: “Pampering wellness gifts are always a hit. Creams, oils, bath sets and even a pregnancy pillow are an option.
"You could also consider personalised gifts, like jewellery — maybe something that includes her and the soon-to-be mini-me's birthstone. And for the mums-to-be missing their cocktail nights, treat them to a botanical drink set.”
Still not entirely sure? Thankfully, GLAMOUR editors have quizzed their mum friends, sisters and colleagues for their suggestions on the best gifts for pregnant women. Think cosy pyjamas, thoughtful gift hampers packed with luxe body lotions and body butters or a hospital bag the fashion set would approve of.
For those willing to splurge.

Best bed sheets for pregnant women
Piglet in Bed Mix & Match Linen Bundle
Getting a good night's sleep gets trickier the further along you get in your pregnancy — but some luxurious linen sheets should definitely help keep her both cool and comfortable. Plus, this gingham print should easily hide milk and snack spills.
A brand that's already incredibly well regarded in the world of sleep, it comes as no surprise that Simba's innovative body pillow is just as impressive as we'd hoped. Designed with side sleepers in mind, its gently curved shape ensures the entire body is kept in alignment — therefore reducing pressure on her shoulders, hips, back and, most importantly, her growing bump. But it's also stuffed with soft, down-like Simba Renew Bio, which has been gently combed into separate springy layers to ensure optimum airflow.
