What would be a good gift for my wife for having a baby?

My wife is due on April 10th. She is going to be a stay at home mom after the baby is born and I really appreciate her for taking that responsibility with our child. What would be a gift to get her, once the baby is born, to show my appreciation for what she had to deal with the last nine months and what she is doing by staying at home with the baby. I am hoping to give it to her while she is in the hospital and hoping to get something for $500 or less.

What would be a good gift for my wife for having a baby?
A mother ring it will have the childs birthstone in it. It would be the perfect gift. Also include a gift card to a spa that will make her day.
Reply:give her a gift which is her favorite. if she's ok to breastfeed you can give her babyglide chair with stool or support breastfeeding pillow or something like that (she can also use this while putting the baby to sleep or just feeding the baby... or buy something to prevent back pain...


when she comes home pamper her. and if there no contraindications for her to have a massage (ask your doctor first)... you can give her a massage! or give her massage voucher but make sure that the masseuse have a specialty in pregnancy and post natal massage to be safe.
Reply:Well, you will never go wrong with art pieces, for instance handmade portraits on Oil, Acryl or Canvas. They really look classical! You simply select a nice photo - one of her most memorable ones or one taken in some beautiful landscape - and send it to the professional artists at http://www.paintyourlife.com to be turned into a unique portrait. It is a reliable address for all sorts of gift ideas for every occasion!


If you are looking for an affordable gift urgently, the same company also has a studio for oil paintings reproductions. So, visit them at http://www.oil-paintings-reproductions.c... and take a look at their 'stock on sale'.
Reply:be on her bedside as long as you can, is the best gift.
Reply:a mothers ring or necklace are good gift ideas. A day at the spa would be great too, but she isn't going to want to leave the baby right away. So if you do go the route make sure that she can use it 2 months down the road or longer. By that time she will be ready to have a day away from the baby %26amp; will probably have someone she can trust to watch the baby if you're not around all day to stay home with the kids.
Reply:Make up some "gift certificates" or "coupons" that you print out yourself, that begin with "You Are Entitled To..." and then fill in the blanks with such "gifts" from you as:





...a 30-minute back-rub


...an hour of "Me Time" (when she can do whatever while YOU take care of baby)


...dinner cooked by hubby


...free Maid Service (that would be you, husband) for a day





and so on. I think any woman would get a kick out of it!





Congrats, Daddy!
Reply:A day at the spa...the works...makeup, hair. manicure. pedicure, massage and new outfit...can be done under 500. (Btw do you have a brother, cousin, uncle, father, nephew etc....)
Reply:I'm sure you want to get her something that she can open at the hospital, and I think the other posters had great ideas! My husband gave me flowers, and I thought it really sweet.





If you really want to make her happy consider hiring a maid service for the first month that she is home. Caring for a new baby is so overwhelming that things like laundry and dishes get over looked. I know when my baby was sleeping I should have been sleeping too, but I found myself taking care of house cleaning too often and not resting when I should. She would probably really appreciate the help and I'm sure it wouldn't be anymore than $500 to hire someone to come in a couple of times a week for a little bit.
Reply:Jewelry. Give it to her after she comes home from the hospital. Simple diamond studs are in your price range, and they are easy to wear while caring for a little one.
Reply:I love swarovski crystals...and so for a gift to me when our children were born my husband bought me an item from the baby collection, and then got me one every year on our child's birthday. (yes its her birthday..but its also the anniversary of the day I gave birth) the first one he bought was the cradle, and I now have the stroller, pacifier, doll, blocks, rattle, bottle, and teddy bear. when our 7mth old was born he got me a family ring. it contains my birthstone, his, our 7 year olds, and the baby's.
Reply:How about a mothers ring or a family ring. It will be something she can keep forever. Congrats on the new baby! A dozen roses to go with it would be a nice touch.
Reply:My wife had our daughter the day before Mother's Day, so she returned home the day after. She really loves Angel figurines, so I bought one that was holding a flower pot with one flower in it that had our daughter's birthstone. I had it all setup on her dresser for her to discover when she got home.





Another great thing to do is to be there to help her as much as you can with the baby. Don't rely completely on her to do all of the work. Don't wait for her to tell you to do something, use your best judgement and take the initiative. I'm sure she'll appreciate your willingness and eagerness to help. You're in for some tough and sleepless nights, but it's worth it. Good Luck to you and congratulations!!!
Reply:Pay for her to get her hair done and nails, then take her to a nice restaurant and have a nice night.
Reply:Just be there and show her that you love her and be patient and helpful with the new born would be a nice gift.
Reply:A friend of mine wanted a charm bracelet with a charm representing the birth. It's nice because later you can buy charms for other occasions.
Reply:My sweet hubby actually got the BABY a gift- a necklace with a small flawless diamond pendant that he said represented how perfect she and I are to him. He told me I was to wear it until we decided to give it to our daughter- maybe on her sweet 16 or wedding day. I think he came up with the idea himself, too! He is so sweet! I loved the gift and can't wait to give it to my daughter. This only really works with a baby girl, though!


Congrats to you!!
Reply:You are an absolutely amazing man, brought a tear to my eye wish i had me one like you :) If you are as great as you sound she has everything she needs in you and a new baby but if you truly want to spoil her get her a braclet with the baby's birth stone on it and engrave it with the baby's name and birth date and on the inside a love note from you...or a locket with the baby's first photo in it anything that will be a reminder for the rest of your lives how special it felt when you first brought a little baby into your lives..congratulations, good luck and best wishes:)
Reply:your lovely.





my boyfriend got me a white gold ring with pink diamonds incrusted in it - pink cos i had a baby girl - and a matching bracelet and the biggest bunch of flowers ive ever seen in my life!
Reply:Oh my gosh, your wife is one lucky woman! What a wonderful husband you are!! Get her a beautiful necklace or bracelet with a diamond heart pendant (or something like that). Sometimes new mom's don't feel all that beautifl after having a baby (lol), so you could remind her how truly beautiful she is to you. And just be there for her and the baby. Protect them, love them, don't let life pass you by. It goes very, very fast.





Hey, and congratulations dad!!!
Reply:get her a day at a spa. women tend to need that sort of thing to make them feel better about themselves. Or take her to get a pedicure and manicure. She'll love it!! good luck!!
Reply:A moms ring with your child's birth stone.





I you a planing on having more children. You can get a ring with more stones so you don't have to buy a larger one down the road. Just put your birthstones in the extra spaces, and once you have more children the stone can be changed out.
Reply:A beautiful array of flowers, and a coupon book for a Moms night out with the girls, or gym or shopping, with daddy caring for the newborn...........make up your coupon book with as many coupons as you like, it can be as simple as a small note pad with hearts on it .................you can add a gift certificate to a spa treatment if you can...........she would love that............





Congrats............
Reply:Why not treat her to a message and pedicure at the salon of her choice. Also include if she likes having her fingernails done.
Reply:Best Present: always jewellery !!








================OR====================...





Your wife will appreciate more than anything a "baby cure" You can buy them at beauty salons and spas.





REMEMBER, most women want to be treated as WOMEN not just like mothers!








SHE SO LUCKY TO HAVE U!!
Reply:buy her a necless w/ur childs birth stone in it or a ring w/diamonds %26amp; childs birth stone
Reply:Make sure you support her thru the night feed....making her a drink before feeding time. Sharing time while she feeds baby and giving mother time to rest. Shows her your will to support. A pre- booked in massage service, go all out with spa bathe and all?


Apart from that always give her heaps of support





Oh and congratulations
Reply:A mother's necklace with her birthstone and that of the baby's. Congratulations!!!!!!
Reply:Get her a good comfortable rocking/recliner chair. Then she can relax and even nurse/hold the baby with it.


BTW - Awesome question and I'm glad to see you supporting your wife and you love for her. Bringing a child into this world is a joyous occasion. What a way to make it more joyous by buying her a gift she will enjoy!
Reply:Depends on the women. Sentimental value outdoes currency any day.
