What's a great gift to give my wife when we have our first baby?

Question

She's due in December, were having a little girl. She's 37, I'm 39 and its our first together. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Hands down the most unique yet functional gift is a hooded towel that keeps the infant warm after all those baths mom will be giving in between diaper changes etc. I received one for my first-born 6 years ago, and he used it for years. The key is the hood, which keeps baby's head warm - where most our body heat is lost. Here's a fun youtube video showing my favorite hooded towel:

You choose the ribbon, and can also get it embroidered with your daughter's name.

A unique gift like this will remind mom of those most special times a new mom has with her newborn!

best of luck with your little one

A day at the spa or a new wardrob

Answer 3

Answer 4

as the husband, you should try to pay attention to things that she wants, for example, take her shopping and see what she is into, then get her something that you know she wants, and that it's appropiate for the ocasion. I myslef would love diamonds, but maybe she not into that and likes something else, just observe her from now until then

Answer 5

A ring with the baby's birth stone in it or a spa day  

Answer 6

Hi, how about a painting of a photo of your newborn child or one from when she was pregnant?

If you go to http://www.paintyourlife.com you can send a photo and a group of pro artists will paint it by hand and in the style you like the most.

You can also send a photo to http://www.photo-print-on-canvas.com and an editor will edit your photo and print it on canvas also in the style you like the most.

Hope you like my idea.

Good Luck

And congrats ^^

Bye

Answer 7

A NECLACE WITH A CHARM THAT HAS EITHER A MOTHER/CHILD IN A HEART OR THE BABYS BIRTHSTONE IN IT, CONGRATS, SOUNDS LIKE YOU WILL MAKE A TERRIFIC DAD!

Answer 8

at craft stores they have all kinds of neat stuff where you can capture the babys foot print and frame it.

they also make something where you can make an imprint of her pregnant belly and even have it painted and hang on the wall.

I wish I would have had that stuff when I was pregnant..

Answer 9

This is a baby website, and it's my hubby's favorite go-to site for gift ideas...and mine too!  :)  Hope you find something super special!

(P.S. next year, when baby turn one, I'd give Mama one of these: http://www.thebrownbrush.com/Portfolio%2... )

Answer 10

A day of pampering at your local spa, a peice of jewelry or a wonderful vacation you can take together when the baby is a little older. Do not get her something for the baby, get her something that would make her feel good as a woman to let her know how special she is to you.

Answer 11

A diamond necklace.  We're both 36 and trying for our first baby, and that's what I want.

EDIT: Ignore all the advice to get her some sort of 'baby thing.'  She needs a WIFE gift, not some sort of scrapbooking mommy memento nonsense.  She's getting a baby.  She needs a gift that says you still see her as your wife.
