An adorable "congratulations on your pregnancy" gift for the mom-to-be for her pregnancy journey.

This box includes a balance foot soak, a head wrap, and a headband – plus a luxurious eye treatment and a massager to make it easy to give her a mini spa day right in the comfort of home. She can even pack in her overnight bag for the hospital.
It's all about pampering the mother-to-be, which will make you a hero!

From reviews

Baby Bump Box- His addition
Why it's on the list:
This would be an extra gift for a first-time dad in case you want to have his and hers matching set.
If you're only getting one gift, we don't recommend this be the one, because the last thing you want to do is leave out mom or baby!
However, we know that dads do often get left out so that's why this gift made the list!
Here’s what you’ll find in the box: A handbook for new dads, a super cute onesie that says "I heart my daddy" and a kid's book to read together.
Included in this gift is some Buffalo Trace Bourbon Soap which will also provide the new dad with some pampering.

For example, the Handprint Footprint Keepsake Frame, with an inkpad included so they can get the prints while those feet are still tiny.

6. "It's their Second Baby" Gift
Why it's on the list:
For those parents who already have a little one, the joy of another addition can be doubly exciting and double-time challenging!
A great gift to make life easier for those sleep-deprived parents is gifting them a split-screen baby monitor so they can keep watch over both little ones at once ensuring everyone gets enough rest.
This monitor allows parents to view two different rooms at the same time on a crystal clear high-definition split-screen while having the ability to zoom in and out if needed.
Also, there's no wifi connection necessary, which means no hacking risk!

- supports up to 4 cameras- 2 included
- 2-way audio
- white noise
The Best Part:
The customer service for the company
From Reviews:
Pros:
- I like to be able to single out one room or see both rooms at the same time
- The cameras were so easy to set up, and have great quality.
- Night vision is solid. No discernible drop in quality when night vision turns on
Cons:
- No intuitive/easy way to mount the cameras
- The battery on the viewer only lasts one night before needing to be charged.
- The thermostat isn’t accurate (one room will say 1 thing & the room right beside it will say something different)
7. Pregnancy Journal Book
Why it's on the list:
Pregnant women have a lot on their minds, and it can be hard to remember everything.
Between doctor appointments, picking out nursery colors, and buying baby clothes, it's easy to forget to document her pregnancy.
The pregnancy journal is the perfect way to document every step of their journey, because once the baby arrives, she may forget all the details.
With sections for notes, photos, multiple pockets, ultrasound pictures, some space to write letters, and more, this spiral-bound journal is a thoughtful gift that will help the new mom to be remember everything about her pregnancy.
The Best Part:
The gold ‘xoxo’ pattern
From Reviews:
Pros:
- Simple enough to keep up with.
- It is ten times more beautiful than imagined
- It's great that she can write all her medical stuff in there for the baby without having to remember everything
Cons:
- Stickers are very cute, but they do not stick very well.
- Most of the pages say the same thing so a little too repetitive but still cute and good quality.
