subject: An Ideal Maternity Gift by:Olive Boettcher [print this page] If you're looking for the right maternity gift to give to that special pregnant woman in your life, why not consider giving a classic item of maternity wear? Before you purchase a maternity gift for your special pregnant lady, there are 3 things you need to know:
The Right Item
Before you decide what this classic item of maternity wear is going to be, you need to know what she'll use it for. For instance, will she need maternity wear for the office, or is she a stay-at-home mom? Either way, items to choose from would be a basic pair of slacks, capris or skirt, and a classic top which would match. The bottom is usually good in a solid colour so it can be coordinated with many different tops.
The Right Size
One generally purchases the same size one wore prior to the pregnancy when buying an item of maternity wear. If measurements are needed, make sure you find out the correct ones from someone close to the pregnant woman so the clothes will fit when they arrive. Measurements are sometimes needed if purchasing a special dress.
The Right Color
This might require a little detective work on your part, especially if you don't live near the mother-to-be, but getting the right colour will ensure that she will be delighted with the purchase and that she will wear it for the duration of her pregnancy. She might even have the pleasure of wearing it during breastfeeding months.
In conclusion, if you have a pregnant friend you wish to purchase a special gift for, even if you live far away, maternity clothes make a great gift. Not only do they lift up the mother-to-be's spirit's by maximizing her maternity wardrobe, they also show her that you care about her and are supporting her through this special time in her life. As well, the maternity clothes will remind her of you as she continues to wear them for the duration of her pregnancy.
