Mother's Day is approaching, and for expectant mothers, it's a chance to celebrate the journey of pregnancy. A Daily Mail journalist, who is herself a mum-to-be, has curated a list of 16 gifts she would buy for herself, ranging from practical essentials to indulgent treats.
Among the top picks is the BBhugme Pregnancy Pillow, endorsed by Sofia Richie Grainge. This adjustable, washable pillow is filled with pressure-relieving microbeads and can be transformed from a C-shape to a U-shape. Another standout is the Rise Baby Carrier from a brand loved by Lily Collins, featuring magnetic fastenings and three ergonomic carrying positions.
For stylish practicality, the Avery Row Baby Changing Tote Bag offers a chic alternative to designer bags, complete with a mini changing mat, pram clips, and a thermal pouch. The Inka Buggy Organiser from Tiba and Marl is a water-resistant pram accessory available in seven colourways.
Other recommendations include the Saltair Santal Bloom Body Butter, praised for its lightweight gel-cream texture and lasting scent, and the Momcozy Ergonest Maternity Belly Band, designed to lift the abdomen. The M&S Mama Slogan Mug is an affordable keepsake, while the Bedtime Book for Bump by Ruth Symons is suggested for bonding with the baby from 18-25 weeks.
Mori's matching pyjamas for mum and baby are also highlighted, along with the Avery Row Little Farm Collection New Baby Essentials Gift Set, which includes a nappy caddy, muslin squares, and a toy. The list aims to recognise the challenges of pregnancy, from hormones to sleepless nights, and offer gifts that say 'you're doing amazingly'.
