A good friend of mine is expecting! I’ve been wanting to give her a pregnancy gift, but I just couldn’t find the right gift. I was trying to stay away from buying anything for the baby (for now!) and only focus on gifts that would help a pregnant woman feel their best. I came across Pregnancy Survival Kits when googling “gifts for pregnant women” and I thought it was the perfect gift idea! I had to make her one!
So I began my search for the best gifts I could find for pregnant women in their first trimester and pregnant women in their second trimester. I looked at best pregnancy gift lists, I looked at top pregnancy gift search results on Amazon and I read a handful pregnancy blogs. After some research (ok, a lot of research…), I finally placed my order on Amazon!
Here is a list of the top 8 best pregnancy gifts that are included in the Pregnancy Survival Kit pregnancy gift basket:
