Spoil the mom-to-be in your life with these great gifts!
By Andrea Zimmerman — Written on Feb 02, 2022
Valentine's day is upon us and if you have a special expecting mom in your life, we've done all the hard work for you.
We've gathered 50 incredible Valentine's Day Gift ideas to make your wife/friend/sister/whoever feel extra-special this February 14th.
Good ideas are galore in this gift guide (Hint: while a heating pad or a gift card/gift certificate are great pregnancy gifts to have, they don't exactly scream romance.)
From fun mommy-and-me swimwear to monogrammed nursery decor to a spa day fit for a queen, these gifts are everything a pregnant woman will want before her baby is born.
And if none of these ideas fit the bill, you can always defer to a practical gift no mom-to-be will ever turn down: offer to do the housecleaning!
50 Best Valentine's Day Gifts For Your Pregnant Wife
1. Dr. Motion Compression Socks
Unlike medical compressions socks, these anklet socks offer enhanced support for maximum, all-day comfort that will keep up with all your pre-baby nesting activities.
2. Kérastase Genesis Strengthening Shampoo for Normal to Oily Hair
Your hair goes through a lot of changes when you're pregnant — we won't even mention the postpartum phase — and this strengthening shampoo, meant for normal to oily hair types, reduces hair loss due to breakage from brushing.
3. Happiest Baby SNOO Smart Sleeper Bassinet
The SNOO is the Lamborghini of bassinets — and there's a good reason for it: Created by renowned pediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp, the SNOO promises 1-2 hours of extra sleep per night with constant, calming womb-like motion and sound. Extra sleep, you say? Sign us up!
4. Whispering Willow Eucalyptus & Mint Rest & Renew Gift Box
Combine the invigorating scent of eucalyptus & mint in this bar soap and body oil, with the calming aromatherapy of a lavender neck wrap to make an incredible Valentine's Day gift for your pregnant wife.
5. Papercape Sleepytime Bundle
This is technically a gift for a baby, but we all know who it's really for: a doting mama! The Sleepytime Bundle contains the Classic Pajama Footies and an adorable matching nighttime cap. Suitable for day and night, they feature a hidden zipper for easy on/off during diaper changes.
6. Franne Golde Bliss Duster
This chic and comfy layer is perfect for curling up with a good book, getting the baby's nursery ready, or running the day's errands in style. Pair with the matching Heavenly Pant for a perfect mama-to-be lounging set.
7. Coterie Diaper Subscription
What every mama-to-be wants: a diaper subscription! These eco-friendly ones from Coterie have earned a reputation for being fast-wicking, extra absorbent, and super-soft.
8. Motsi Refresh & Rejuvenate Skincare Bundle
Give a pregnant mama the gift of self-care with this three-in-one skincare bundle, which includes a rose-scented clarifying mask, a cucumber herbal eye gel, and a fresh tea face mist. Ah, bliss.
9. Teddy's Cotton Essential Onesie Bundle
Made of 100% certified organic longer-staple yarn, this is another gift-for-baby-but-really-a-gift-for-mom. You can never go wrong by gifting onesies and this bundle includes a precious set in berry, cinnamon, almond, and midnight.
10. Mabel's Labels Baby Label Pack
This is one of those gifts moms won't receive at their baby shower because we forget to think about it! But it's actually one of the most useful gifts you can give: labeling bottles, clothes, and sippy cups are such a help, especially if mom has plans to eventually send her baby to daycare.
11. Nuzzle Snuggle Slides
The coziest, snuggliest pair of slides a new mama will ever own: gifting this furry pair is a Valentine's Day no-brainer.
12. Chilling Home Pregnancy Pillow
In the later stages of pregnancy, sleeping becomes uncomfortable and frankly, difficult — I mean it when I say I would not have gotten any shut-eye without this pregnancy pillow. Game-changer for getting zzz's.
13. Bliss Lemon & Sage Soapy Suds Body Wash
Pregnancy comes with all sorts of weird smells and an aversion to smells. This citrus-scented foaming body wash is a crisp, clean antidote to all of that.
14. Karité Carryall Gift Basket
For the pregnant mom with perpetually dry skin, this moisturizing bundle comes with a Crème Mains Nourishing Hand Cream, Crème Corps Hydrating Body Cream, and Baume à Lèvres Lip Balm — plus a gorgeous bag that fits all 3 products perfectly!
15. Wild Flicker Milk & Honey Soy Wax Candle
Candles can be a tricky gift for pregnant mamas — they may have an aversion to certain scents in the first trimester. But for later stage moms, they're usually a welcome, calming gift and this milk + honey one smells ike freshly baked oatmeal cookies dipped in milk & drizzled with natural honey.
16. Artifact Personal Podcast
This is such a unique gift idea. Artifact sets up your person of choice with professional interviewers — mostly moonlighting journalists — to capture the stories that matter to them, sort of like a private podcast. What a special opportunity to document a pregnancy in-real time for your future child to have.
17. Elements Assorted Box Of Truffles
The gift of chocolate is a classic Valentine's Day gift. This sampler box of delicate, melt-in-your-mouth truffles is hand-crafted and garnished with love.
18. Partake Craft Non-Alcoholic Beer
For any mom who's really relishing a nice cold beer after a long day, this non-alcoholic blonde ale from Partake Brewing is a great alternative. It gives notes of toasted bread intermingled with floral, earthy hops, and a hint of pom fruit.

Um, how stinkin' cute are these Dylan's Candy takeout candy boxes? The best part: You can choose the candy of her choice to fill it with.
20. Philips Avent Natural Response Newborn Gift Set

22. Verve Culture Moroccan Leather Slippers
These Moroccan house slippers are made with strong but soft goat leather to provide ultimate comfort and durability. And because some things are better with time (like pregnancy!), these slippers will mold to the shape of your foot.
23. Munchpack Snack Pack
Pregnant moms want snacks. Any hour, any day, any time. The cool thing about Munchpak is that it includes snacks from all over the world, so mamas-to-be are likely to discover some new global treats they've never noshed on before. Yummy.
24. hiAria MAIA Diaper Bag Backpack
A little secret: She won't always want to travel with a bulky diaper bag. Sometimes she'll want a mini bag that just fits diapers and wipes for when she needs to run a quick errand or take a short stroll. This is where the hiAria diaper bag comes in handy: as their site says: motherhood — but make it chic.
25. Harmati Velvet Storage Bench

Fun fact about labor: Sometimes it takes a while — it's not always like the movies. Gift your mom-to-be a coloring book to bring with her to the hospital for a calming activity to do during downtime before the baby arrives.
31. 7AM Enfant Rose Dawn Quilted Warmmuffs
Warmmuffs are a must-have stroller accessory. Cleverly attached to the stroller, it keeps hands toasty while making it easy to tend to a child’s needs without ever losing another glove (we've all been there.)
