Price at time of publication: $48

What Our Editors Say

"After going through two pregnancies, I've tested a lot of leggings. Huge fan of these. They are a great price point but fit like a seamless luxury legging in which the material on the bump and the legs are the same (a plus, in my opinion). And the best part is they're made from recycled plastic bottles! Giving a sustainable gift is always a good idea." — Lauren Levinson, Editorial Director Verywell Family

These baby bump speakers allow parents to safely play any music or voice messages directly to the baby from any iOS, Android, or standard audio device.

"We thought this monitor offered solid video quality. We were able to see the feed clearly throughout the day and night, thanks to the aforementioned night vision. As for audio, we could also hear clearly, even with the volume turned to low. Though, the monitor's range is an area that could use improvement. While one of the pricier monitors out there, the performance and features make this a solid investment for your nursery." — Michelle Piccolo, Verywell writer and product tester

"I often think the best gifts are experiences. Since I wasn't going to be leaving the house too much in the months after giving birth, my husband brought the experiences to me by getting me a monthly Goldbelly subscription. He opted for the New York City box, and it was so fun looking forward to the surprise each month. Before we would get the official email about what was shipping each month, we would try to guess what was coming next and what we hoped it would be. We ended up getting cheesecake, bagels, and pizza." — Julia Warren, VP of Commerce

Verywell / Bailey Mariner

What to Look for in a Gift for an Expecting Mom

Sentimental Value

If you want to tug at a new parent's heartstrings, opt for a gift with sentimental value. Many gifts for expecting moms and dads serve as pregnancy keepsakes and help capture the incredible growth of the baby, like the Savor Baby Keepsake Box or the Bubzi Co. Baby Handprint and Footprint Makers Kit Keepsake. These types of gifts are sure to be treasured by the whole family for years to come.

Usefulness

Sweet gifts may make Mom tear up at the baby shower, but practical gifts are just as appreciated. From products that make pregnancy more comfortable, such as the Leachco Snoogle Maternity Body Pillow, to those that come in handy once the baby is born, like the Evenflo Pivot Modular Travel System, think about the things that will make their entire experience as stress-free as possible.

Thoughtfulness

When shopping for a thoughtful gift for expecting parents, consider their interests and lifestyle. If a mom-to-be likes to be pampered, opt for soft, beautiful clothing, lotions, and other products to help her relax. For a mom who loves her morning cup of coffee or tea, the Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2 is a thoughtful solution that keeps drinks hot all day long so she doesn’t have to run to the microwave every hour.
