Philosophy Amazing Grace Eau de Toilette Gift Set
A heightened sense of smell can be a common side effect of pregnancy, which is why we like this clean, soft fragrance from Philosophy. The regular size can be used at home while the mini is perfect for freshening up on-the-go (and the festive box is prime for gifting as is!).
Mutha Body Set
Mutha was born out of its founder’s obsession and own challenges with finding a stretch-mark cream that actually worked. This set offers two of the brand’s hero products — Mutha Body Butter and Mutha Body Oil — featuring 100 percent naturally derived ingredients like shea, cocoa and mango butters at a special gift set price.

Get it to help the busy mom-to-be look and feel her best in a matter of five minutes or less. The Glow Set is another safe bet at a lower price point.

Dagne Dover Indi Diaper Backpack
She always looks pulled together, so why not get her a diaper bag that fits her gear and her aesthetic? This pick from Dagne Dover is sleek enough for everyday use, yet equipped with space and various compartments for stashing and organizing baby essentials once the little one arrives.
Ekouaer Maternity Robe
Make her feel special with this stylish robe from Ekouaer, which triples as a maternity robe, hospital robe and nursing robe in one. It’s racked up over 2,500 five-star ratings from verified customers who relied on it throughout their pregnancies and beyond. Scoop it up in one or several of 15+ shades and patterns!
Allbirds Wool Loungers
Having to pry your sneakers is no picnic, especially when maneuvering around a baby bump. These wool loungers from Allbirds are slip-on for easy on-offs and made with renewable wool and padded materials for extra coziness and cushion. They’re also machine washable for removing stains in a cinch.
Birdies Starling Loafers
If she’s heading into the office, consider this dressy slip-on from Birdies, which has a nearly five-star rating from over 19,500 reviewers for its sleek style and soft footbed. The brand’s seasonal collection also offers velvet and crystal versions for dressier occasions and days when she wants to feel more festive.
Spanx Mama Faux Leather Leggings
These leggings have garnered a cult following for their sleek finish and super-stretchy fabric (and we can attest that they are that good). Casual enough for every day yet elevated enough for work and weekend wear, they’re perfect for the woman who’s a little bit relaxed, a little bit rock ‘n’ roll.
Amma Natural Cocoon
This versatile pick from Amma goes on triple duty as a scarf, wrap and nursing cover in one, but it can also be used as a baby blanket or car seat/stroller cover in a pinch. It’s made of lightweight, knit fabric to prevent overheating, and is both stain- and wrinkle-resistant for low-maintenance, enduring style.
Seraphine 3-in-1 Down Maternity Coat
Ensure she stays warm during her pregnancy and well beyond with this clever design from Seraphine. Available in three shades, it serves as a chic maternity coat (all nine months), baby carrier (extra panel zips form a supportive pouch) and regular coat that she can bundle up in for seasons ahead. For a great gift at a lower price point, we also love the brand’s ‘Mama’ and ‘Mini’ sets.
