Gift Ideas for expectant mothers?
I lived overseas for a year, and I’m visiting there on holiday. One of my closest friends there is about 7 months pregnant now, close to 8. I wanted to know what I could gift her that would be useful and gift-like as well 
She and her husband have already bought the essentials, I think, diaper bags and stuff. What could I give them?
Expectant mums answering this question, would LOVE it if you could tell me what you would consider a useful gift from someone, and to all of you, good luck with your pregnancies!
To everyone, thanks
Edited to add: It’s going to be a girl
I would give her something for her, rather than something for the baby. Everyone gives gifts for the baby, and almost no one gives gifts for the mother.
- a gift certificate for a massage, pedicure, manicure, facial, etc. Even better if it is for the two of you together.
- a fancy dinner out for just the two of you while you are there.
- a weekend away somewhere for either you and her or her and her hubby.
- pay for a doula (if you don’t know what that is, it is a trained woman who is there to take care of the pregnant mother, before, during, and after labour/delivery. Similar to, but much more personal than, a midwife.)
