What to buy a Pregnant Wife at Christmas?

Wife is 6/7 months Pregnant - any ideas what to buy?

I've searched and searched and searched - most suggestions are pamerping days and pregnant masages but my wifes never really been one for that and I know the voucher will still be in her possesion when the child is 5 years old so waste of money ;)

Ideas don't necesarily have to be cheap - im just really stuck for ideas and would appreciate any suggestions :p

    I'm 6/7 months pregnant this Christmas too, I'm not expecting anything out of the ordinary. I have asked for a Le Creuset casserole dish, books, cds and a computer game for the wii. We also had a quick look at Magimix food mixers the other day.

    Have you actually asked her?

    yeah i've asked her but the only things she can think of aren't practical while she's pregnant.

    i've already ordered her a game for the wii and a foot spa thingy which I will say is from the baby :D

    Do you know her taste in jewellery? Would she like a locket type piece to put babies picture in or maybe a charm bracelet to start collecting charms to commemorate special times to come?

    what about making her a 'treat' stocking? buy her some nice bubble bath, a couple of candles, a book by a favourite author or magazine subscription and some chocolate.

    would she appreciate a voucher for a pregnancy photoshoot?

    I like the idea of a bracelet charms can be added to.

    When I was pregnant with DS1 my OH bought me a bracelet for Xmas. That was five years ago and I wear it always.

    How about a voucher for you all to go to a professional photographers after the baby is born?

    Does she read? How about a good book and some chocolates?

    After my first baby I stopped using handbags as everywhere I went I took the nappy bag.

    V-shaped pillow is an essential cushion support and will support mum during pregnancy and improve feeding positions for baby.

    Practical and it will be a surprise. :)
