I do not want anything baby related! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gift-ideas-for-mom-to-be#post-87584 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 13:56:36 +0000 BananaPancakes 87584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't give her a baby related gift!!! I wish I had waited to tell family until well after my birthday instead of a couple weeks before because everyone bought me baby stuff only. When you're still adjusting to the fact that you're going to be a mother, it doesn't help when everyone forgets you're you and not just a mom. I was really upset about it (and I never care about gifts), but it made me feel really alone at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gift-ideas-for-mom-to-be#post-87559 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 13:36:45 +0000 Andrea 87559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: thanks! i just ordered her something off of Etsy. i saw it on her pinterest. what a great way to spy on people. hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gift-ideas-for-mom-to-be#post-87554 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 13:34:48 +0000 tequiero21 87554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i agree with the ladies above - gift for her, not the baby. jewelry sounds nice - but i'm with you, wait til after the baby is born so you know the name for sure (people change names at the last minute!)</p> <p>since she's into graphic design, i think a print for the nursery would be great! if she hasn't already gotten one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gift-ideas-for-mom-to-be#post-86614 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 16:29:03 +0000 Andrea 86614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I like the idea of a print so she can hang it in the nursery or somewhere else! I agree that I should probably get something not directly baby related.<br /> @Mrs. Bee: I was thinking that but she isn't 100% sure on the name yet so I can save that gift for after the birth. I really want one of those myself, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gift-ideas-for-mom-to-be#post-86468 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 20:48:55 +0000 Mrs. Bee 86468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ok this is a baby gift but if she's already picked out the name, an initial necklace! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gift-ideas-for-mom-to-be#post-86465 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 20:35:55 +0000 heffalump 86465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get her something for her and not the baby. I love getting gifts for lo, but now its to the point that she gets everything and I never ever get anything. Ever. So its nice when someone actually gives something t me that's for me.</p> <p>But if you did want to go baby related, I saw a cute gift box idea on pinterest that helps with monthly baby pictures. You can buy monthly stickers, plain white onesies in sizes up to 12 months, and a pretty blanket for the background. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gift-ideas-for-mom-to-be#post-86406 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 17:03:51 +0000 Andrea 86406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: that would be great except I got her that for Xmas already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gift-ideas-for-mom-to-be#post-86404 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 16:47:54 +0000 BoogieBea 86404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about a spa certificate. I'm sure she could use some pampering at some point once the baby arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gift-ideas-for-mom-to-be#post-86401 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 16:24:23 +0000 Andrea 86401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: ooooh a print for the nursery maybe? I think she has something on pinterest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gift-ideas-for-mom-to-be#post-86398 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 15:59:01 +0000 chopsuey 86398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get her something she can enjoy that's not baby related or motherhood related.. a pretty print, framed art, article of clothing, accessory.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-gift-ideas-for-mom-to-be#post-86394 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 15:22:22 +0000 Andrea 86394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My best friend's birthday is coming up and her due date is month after that. Should I get her something baby related? Related to motherhood? I already got her something for the baby.<br /> She is a graphic designer and loves pretty, arty things. </p>
