Thanks for the tip!</p> <p>I'm so excited. It feels like I'm the one who is pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-pregnancy-care-package#post-48419 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 19:34:41 +0000 MsMini 48419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is an awesome idea, I would have loved if someone did that for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-pregnancy-care-package#post-48377 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:44:36 +0000 twinmama 48377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those suggestions are all great, and you are so sweet to do this for your friend.</p> <p>Just as an fyi, I wouldn't use the bubble bath during pregnancy. I love baths, but pregnant women are really prone to UTIs so I've been extra careful about soaps and whatnot down south. But she might love it and use it and be just fine! :)</p> <p>I'd also love a cool/pretty water bottle. I keep one with me 24/7 now to stay adequately hydrated and I see lots of nicer ones out there, but I'm too cheap to buy one for myself :) Little snack packs are always good too, like little 100 calorie bags, to keep in my purse for if I get light headed or hungry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-pregnancy-care-package#post-48370 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:33:33 +0000 betsyboop 48370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooh the nail gift card is a GREAT idea. I'd say stretch mark cream, a tin of lemon drops (for nausea) and a nice lip balm (have anyone else's lips become incredibly DRY during pregnancy???). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-pregnancy-care-package#post-48368 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:29:46 +0000 eupenmalmody 48368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depending on how much you are looking to spend, how about a GC to her local nail place to get a few manis/pedis. I haven't been able to reach my toes for a while and have loved going to get pampered! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-pregnancy-care-package#post-48337 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 16:47:12 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 48337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the ideas. I'll definitely add some pjs to the list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-pregnancy-care-package#post-48285 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:54:27 +0000 winniebee 48285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a nice friend you are! I second Gilfriend's Guide to Pregnancy and a bella band. Also Preggie Pops (great for morning sickness) and Sour Patch Kids (also good for nausea). For lotion, you could get some tummy stretch mark cream. Also maybe a journal so she can write about her pregnancy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-pregnancy-care-package#post-48274 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:48:36 +0000 heffalump 48274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>White maternity tank tops, bella band, maternity pj's, books (Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy, Belly Laughs, What to Expect) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-pregnancy-care-package#post-48273 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:47:23 +0000 BabyLove 48273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a good idea too! Earth Mama Angel has a nice postpartum recovery kit too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-pregnancy-care-package#post-48262 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:41:33 +0000 Mrsbells 48262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally I would love a care package from Earth Mama Angel baby. they have bundle for pregnant moms </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-pregnancy-care-package#post-48255 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:36:54 +0000 BabyLove 48255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Comfy pj's! Your ideas are good as well. But I got comfy pajamas as a gift and I lived in them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-pregnancy-care-package#post-48251 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:33:39 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 48251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mentioned in an earlier thread that my bff is having a baby and I would like to send her a care package. Having never been pregnant I'm not sure what to put in it. Here are some things I was thinking:</p> <p>-lotion<br /> -bubble bath<br /> -pregnancy book<br /> -onesie</p> <p>What would you like to receive in a pregnancy care package? </p>
