So, a loved one recently announced they’re pregnant. And now you want to send them a little something to say, “Congrats!”—except figuring out the best gifts for pregnant people can be difficult, especially if you’ve never been pregnant yourself before.
Pregnancy is a long journey full of endless physical and emotional changes, and a thoughtful gift for a new mom-to-be can go a really long way. Chances are they are tired, maybe nauseous, and overall overwhelmed as they navigate this new stage of life and get ready to welcome a little one into their life. The best gifts you can give any mom-to-be are ones that show you’re there to support them—whether that’s through self-care products that help them pamper themselves, maternity clothing to make them more comfortable, cute baby gear that fuels their excitement and helps them prepare, or honestly anything that makes the waiting game easier and more enjoyable.

Below, we rounded up some of the best gifts for pregnant people from retailers like Amazon, Nordstrom, Etsy, Uncommon Goods, and more. Some of these things I also personally found to be great gifts or purchases while I’ve been pregnant. Your care and support alone during the pregnancy and postpartum periods (even just texts to check in and ask how they’re feeling) mean the world, but if you’re looking to make a soon-to-be new mom a little extra special, the right gift can be really meaningful.
