I am going to poke around over there for more ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-ask-for-for-christmas#post-2925518 Wed, 17 Nov 2021 10:20:58 +0000 catgirl 2925518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with the barefoot dreams cardigan or robe - I don't have one but know so may people who do who love them! </p> <p>A nice, supportive pair of slippers. When my DD was a newborn she was happiest when we were walking or swaying. We don't wear shoes in the house and my cheap slippers weren't cutting it with how much I was on my feet with her. </p> <p>A nice water bottle. I was recently gifted the stanley 40oz tumbler that is all the craze - I LOVE it! I wouldn't have spent the money on it myself but it is so great. Keeps my water super cold, has a handle, and fits in almost every cup holder. I know when DD was little I always had to have water near me.</p> <p>A heated neck/back massager - when I was nursing my back and neck got so sore. My friend lent me her neck massager and it was amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-ask-for-for-christmas#post-2925517 Wed, 17 Nov 2021 09:06:31 +0000 Chuckles 2925517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm obsessed with wanting one of these fancy robes. I'd like to have another option besides my cozy but sort of frumpy robe.

I love love love those, and I hear they're great for soothing babies too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-ask-for-for-christmas#post-2925513 Tue, 16 Nov 2021 23:20:46 +0000 periwinklebee 2925513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An Ugg bathrobe? I splurged recently and at 9 months pregnant I think it's not an exaggeration to say it is one of my main sources of happiness in life now :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-ask-for-for-christmas#post-2925512 Tue, 16 Nov 2021 22:54:29 +0000 bhbee 2925512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe something barefoot dreams brand? I have the cardigan type sweater (bought from Nordstrom) and I loooove it in the winter. I think they also make throws and robes. Just googled reviews and they said the robe is worth the hype :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-ask-for-for-christmas#post-2925510 Tue, 16 Nov 2021 22:47:44 +0000 ChitownRo 2925510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe some nice skin products? I don’t know much about that but know there’s fancy options 😂<br /> Or an nice throw blanket? Or weighted blanket? Cozy slippers?<br /> Fancy candles or diffusers? I’m so excited about a new diffuser that smells like pine trees (posted under gift ideas thread). </p> <p>The one thing I’ve asked for for years but have yet to get: him researching composting options and then buying the stuff we need for it 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-ask-for-for-christmas#post-2925509 Tue, 16 Nov 2021 22:41:53 +0000 lady baltimore 2925509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let me preface this by saying that I HATE asking for specific presents, my love language is whatever one covers the gift giver figuring out something that I would like.</p> <p>That said, my DH is not great at coming up with gift ideas (ask me how many times I have gotten a jumbo pack of fine tipped Sharpies :silly: ). He wants some guidance about Christmas, and since I will be giving birth in February, I am thinking that I may steer him toward something indulgent for postpartum/breast feeding, like a really nice robe or . . . this is not an area where I usually splurge, so I am at a bit of a loss. Any suggestions of something useful, but also a bit fancy or luxurious for the third &amp; fourth trimester? </p>
