subject: Gift Ideas For Expecting Mothers [print this page] Let's face it, coming up with a gift idea for mums-to-be is no easy task. We've rounded up some savvy suggestions when Christmas shopping for pregnant women.
An obvious idea is to whisk your lady away for a romantic weekend just the two of you, before two becomes three and your whole world as a couple shifts into a new routine. The UK is perfect for getting away for a weekend, with plenty of enchanting cities to visit within only a few hours of home -- and ideal for making the most of each other' company while you can.
Making the trip to Edinburgh, for example, would be a particularly good choice, with a strong range of charming hotels to choose from and a thriving cultural scene to explore. Wander up to the Castle for impressive views over the city and out to the coast, and take in the Scottish accents and bagpipes of the Royal Mile. There are plenty of delightful coffee shops to stop at for a slice of cake, and delicious restaurants to be discovered too.
Alternatively, head south west and for the rugged coastline and beautiful beaches of Cornwall. Rounds of fish and chips and ice-creams on the sea front await, along with cream teas and fresh air, and plenty of big views to refresh and revitalise busy couples.
Another idea is to play to the strength of your lady's pregnancy cravings for experience days. Does she demolish chocolate? Then buy her a chocolate making class so she can find out how to make her own. Or can't stop eating curry? An introductory class into Indian cooking cold solve all your problems.
With such a wide range of vouchers, presents and experiences available with Red Letter Days the possibilities are almost endless: even for the most demanding of expectant mothers, the likelihood is that there will be something to suit everyone, from gourmet days and theatrical nights, to pampering breaks in the spa and a new health and beauty look.
Well considered, thoughtful and fun gifts will always be popular at Christmas time -- and the buying of the gifts should be as much part of the pleasure as the beaming look on faces as presents are unwrapped and unveiled. The only trouble now will be having too many ideas from which to choose.
