I was on bed rest with both of my pregnancies, and was totally bored! The best thing that I had were extremely engrossing books, such as The Millenuim Trilogy or The Hunger Games. Those were a lifesaver because it really took my mind off of things and made time go by so quickly.

Other great options: a Netflix gift subscription, trashy gossip magazines, the hottest nail polish colors and a manicure kit, a baby keepsake book that she can start putting together, delicious pregnancy-safe treats, comfy cozy socks, yoga pants, a Pinterest invite (that site saved my sanity!).

Just think, she wants to be comfortable and have her mind taken off of what she is going thru. The best thing for me was to have people come and hang out, I was terribly lonely and felt even more isolated because people were afraid they were bugging me. BTW, you are such a caring friend to be doing this!

if she's crafty, you could find a craft project for her to complete for her due date. I did a couple of needlepoint projects and I LOVED them. I wasn't on bedrest though... just lazy.

I was going to suggest trashy magazines too! My favorites are In Touch and People (not so trashy but always entertaining).

Word searches, crosswords, or soduko if she's into that. What about a pregnancy type book like Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy or Exploiting my Baby by Teresa Strausser... both are fun! I also like the idea of cross-stitch or crochet. If she doesn't do that, maybe you could get her an intro/beginners book & some yarn or thread? You're such a sweet friend!!!

A gift certificate to amazon, so she can download books if she has a Kindle.

A baby book, to start completing the stuff about the family, pregnancy, shower, etc.
