Best Mom and Dad To Be Gifts
1. Digital Picture Frame
For all the pictures they are going to take with their new little one, this is a great way to display them all. It is so much better than keeping them on the phone.
We gave this wireless digital picture frame to our mom and now we all want one too.
This picture frame is especially great because it has internal memory. Most of them don’t. It works whether the internet is on or off.
2. Instax Camera
Mom and Dad are going to have so much fun capturing all of the prego moments and then baby moments with the Instax Camera.
My daughter has this camera and it is so much fun.
Just tell them to not use it in bright light. We learned that those pictures don't turn out.
3. Date Night Gift Cards
Help that mom and dad to be get out of the house and enjoy some couple time before their new baby joins them with a gift card. Some great options here are to a favorite restaurant or the movies.
We went out as much as we could before our first baby was born and we are so glad we did. See friends, we don't live near any family so going out for regular dates when our kids were small was not an option.
However, now that our oldest is 12 and babysitting, we have been able to start going out again. That has been a crazy thing to get used to, but I think I will manage.
4. Board Games
There are only so many movies you can watch together before you want to do something else.
Your couple is going to love it if you gave them a board game or 2.
Board games are fantastic and can be played both before and after the baby arrives.
My husband and I like to play Ticket to Ride, Scrabble, and Sequence a lot. These games are all great for 2 players.
Sometimes we toss in a card game or 2 like Cribbage.
5. Yeti Tumblers
If this couple doesn’t drink coffee yet, they will be soon after the baby arrives. Whew, that lack of sleep sure does a number on a person!
I can assure you that the Yeti tumbler will keep their coffee hot for hours, I am talking from personal experience here.
I usually get a dark shade for the dad and pick out something close to the mom’s favorite color for her.
6. Chocolates
When my sister became pregnant, I knew right away what to get her and my brother-in-law. They both have a sweet tooth, especially my brother-in-law.
I stocked them up on a few bags of Twix because he loves them.
If you don’t know what their favorites are then you need to try these chocolates out.
That dark chocolate with sea salt and caramel is the perfect mix!
I may have a secret stash of these in my house all the time. Here’s to hoping my kids won’t find them!
7. Soft Blanket
Your couple is going to love snuggling up under this blanket. It is soft, cozy, and oh-so warm.
It comes in a few different sizes but we have the Full/Queen size. Large enough for 2 people but not so big that it is overwhelming.
If you don’t know what color to choose, go with the white or grey. Neutral colors always match everyone’s décor.
We have a few of these and everyone always wants to use them. I think I may have to get a few more so my kids stop fighting over them.
8. Picnic Kit
They will be able to use this gift before and after their baby arrives.
This cooler is large but collapses down for compact storage and can hold enough food for a family of 6 with room to space.
I also love this picnic blanket. It is huge and it can be tossed in the wash!
This blanket can also be used at the beach. It will save them from the hot sand.
My husband and I love exploring and it turns out there are some pretty spectacular places to have a picnic.
9. Willow Tree Figure
I am not the biggest fan of giving home décor to people unless I know their style inside and out. However, this Willow Tree Family Figure is to die for.
It is so beautiful that it would fit into anyone’s home.10. Lottery Tickets
Just for kicks, why not toss a few scratch-off lottery tickets in with whatever gift you give? It is always fun to anticipate if you are going to win anything from them.

11. Water Bottle
You know that hydrating is so important, but especially so for your prego friend!
Hook your girl up with a dynamite water bottle.
I love the 22oz Hydro Flask water bottle.
12. Lip Balm
If you are going to get 1 thing for your new Mama, it should be this lip balm.
It is so hydrating and makes your lips so soft. I can't get enough of it.
If you aren't already using it, put an extra one in the cart for yourself. You won't be disappointed!
13. Large Tote
With all the stuff Mama is going to be carrying for years to come, this large tote bag will be a lifesaver for her.
I use this bag during the summer for my 4 kids and this bag can carry all our stuff with a little room to spare.
