To all mothers and currently pregnant women. I’m hoping to get a nice gift for someone on my team who’s pregnant. What are some practical options that she’d appreciate? Planning to spend $400.

I would get her something she can use to pamper herself! Maybe a gift card for a spa or some meal service. Anything to make her life easier for when baby comes

If you want to get her a pregnancy gift I’d vote for a nice pregnancy pillow (snoogle etc). Then you can save the rest for a work-hosted baby shower where you buy off registry.

And I also fully support seamless, Grubhub etc gift cards as well. My team sent me 6 frozen Lou Malnatis pizzas and let me tell you those were a godsend. You’re wonderful for thinking of her 🤗

Food!!!! Multiple new parents have told us those crappy fruit baskets actually saved them the most since they don't have time to grocery shop or eat. Not that you send baskets, but I believe any easy and healthy food options that the new parents can just heat and eat will be helpful. If they live in a major city, perhaps seamless gift cards or something...

If someone offered that budget, I’d spring for a “mother’s helper” type housekeeper - light cleaning (I have a regular service, so this is more tidying), laundry, groceries, food prep, etc. I plan on hiring one for #2. I know someone who had this service & it was a game changer for them.

We’re both very open and informal but seems like there should be a new level of respect.

Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.
