Gift for Pregnancy

Hi everyone! My sister recently found out that she is pregnant, 9 weeks along. Her birthday is in three weeks and my wife and I thought we would put together a pregnancy care package for her as a gift. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? I'm looking for things that would be helpful to her during pregnancy, not gifts for the baby.

    Maybe a pack of pregnancy milestone photo cards/stickers for her to use for weekly bump photos.

    It was really comforting detecting the FHR with my fetal doppler during the 1st trimester. I was able to consistently find the heart rate at around 11.5 weeks which was especially reassuring given I was not able to feel the baby move until about 19 weeks. You can purchase a doppler online for $35-$40.

    She'll be quickly approaching her second tri by her birthday. To round out the basket, maybe a pair of comfy maternity leggings. The Ross near me has tons of super cozy fleece-lined maternity leggings for $6 right now. Also, chocolate. (Unless she has an aversion to it right now.) Maybe some recipes for freezer meals to make before the baby comes. Fancy lip balm for the never ending chapped lips. That's all I've got right now.

    Maternity clothes are oh so helpful- nothing fit right for long. A prenatal massage was heaven sent for me, although pricey. We got a nice frame specifically meant for ultrasound photos what was cool. Hum.. anything pampering was really just the best.

    My mom has bought me three massages this pregnancy. Best things ever. You can get a decently priced one at Massage Envy as long as it is your first purchase. I think it's $40 for an hour long prenatal.
