What is a good gift for my wife after she has our baby?

I wanted to get her something to kind of show appreciation type of thing. Didn't want to get the typical flowers but the right kind of plant might work. She wouldn't want me to spend a lot of money either. We're talking like no more than $150 or so. THanks for the ideas.

What is a good gift for my wife after she has our baby?
Well my husband got me the typical flowers and balloons, but he also got me a gift certificate to a day spa around here. About 4 weeks after I had my son (when i was feeling mobile again) he watched Tyler so I could go get my hair/nails done and a nice massage too. 3 hours of personal mommy alone time, and being pampered too; it was wonderful!! (the package cost him 200. . . but there were many choices, but happened to be what he choose). Just a thought! Good luck. . . and congrats on the (soon) addition to the family!
Reply:I know what you are saying. You want to actually get her something awww :)





The best gift I can recommend is a maid lol. If you could get someone to come in once a week and clean for about a month that would be awesome.





But if you are talking something a bit smaller..how about a nice gift basket from Bath and Body?
Reply:Hire a cleaning service for after she has the baby. Get the house cleaned. Trust me, I would appreciate it, and my idea of a good time, is playing video games. But I like a clean house.
Reply:How about a mother's ring, with the new baby's birthstone in it?
Reply:A small diamond pendant/earring or any other small piece of jewellery with her birthstone, post-natal massage session all sound good to me. Lots of love and patience and of course some help around the house after the baby arrives are also added gifts ;) Congrats on the baby and you sound like a good hubby man.
Reply:Well, a gift certificate for a spa and a promise to babysit is wonderful, but not lasting. If you want her to remember the gift and keep a special association with the baby, jewelry is the way to go. Or maybe a music/jewelry box she can store keepsakes in (a lock of the baby's hair, the baby's hospital bracelet).
Reply:No money needed.For you to get up when she gets up with the baby and ask her what you can do or get her to help out.It's alot on a mother to do all the care.Just show her your there no matter what time of the day it is.That and show her you love her for having that beautiful baby.Let her know she's still beautiful too.
Reply:This must be a new thing! I had four children and my husband never got me a gift for having a child. If you want to show your appreciation, maybe some type of jewelry. I have always felt it took two to have the baby and my husband always helped out a lot. I remember when I came home with the third and had some girlfriends stop by, he made coffee and tea for them. I sure thought that was nice.
Reply:When she is starting to feel a little better and recover for the birth offer to take care of the wee one for the day while she goes and gets pampered at a spa.
Reply:You sound like a great husband! Maybe a gift certificate to a day spa for a nice massage and manicure while you stay home with the new baby. Or maybe take the baby one day to a portrait studio and get some nice pictures taken.





I remember when I had our first baby my husband did so many little things - would cook simple dinners, or sometimes he would run a nice, hot bubble bath for me while he watched the baby. It's usually little things like that that are great. He would sometimes just take the baby out for an hour or two so I could nap.





But your wife is lucky, you sound great. Congratulations :)
Reply:i am surprised nobody else has said this... a massage or spa treatment!!!!


she will love the time out (and will need it)


and plus has not got much time for herself.


plus she may need to feel beautiful again.


trust me on this one!!!!!!


plus.. good on you for thinking about her needs. :)
Reply:Give her something SHE can use or enjoy, some lotions bath oils, maybe even a massage.
Reply:perhaps a day at the spa


or watch the kids while she goes out with her girlfriends, have the house clean and a bubble bath waiting for her when she gets home, while she is bathing prepare a romantic dinner


my husband just sent me african violets for my birthday, they are very pretty


buy her a gift basket that you put together with candles, stuffed animals, some comfy jammies, a good book or movie and her favorite snack





good luck!!!
Reply:Yourself just make sure your there for her and help her that will be good enough trust me you will be spending tons of money on that new baby.
Reply:A babysitter, a clean house, dinner, and a massage!!!!
Reply:Give her your time and your love. That is thanks enough for most women. Just your kind and loving words and actions will be just what her spirit needs right now. You are so sweet to be so thoughtful... Congratulations to you and your wife on your new baby.
Reply:you are the sweetest guy in the world. Thinkin of her in her time of need. you are aawesome
Reply:give her a body massage, i'm sure her body's really tired from having the baby..make her happy. that comes from the heart [:


or write her little thank you notes and stuff,


idk just have fun, it does NOT have to be something bought..
Reply:The best gift you can give your wife is your help. Help her around the house doing things that she normally does (such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc) AND help her with your baby so that she can get some sleep.





If you really want to get her something, get her something that she can keep forever (such as a diamond pendant or earrings that she can wear later and remember forever what it was for).





Good luck with your new family and congratulations!
Reply:The most precious thing to a woman after childbirth is


time for herself and the baby.


A few ideas:


Hire someone to come in on saturdays to clean house the first month.


Order $150 worth of diaper delivery service


Hire a personal chef (or a good friend-relative) to come and prepare freezable meals that all she has to do is microwave or heat in oven.


Some women are worried about getting back in shape and ONLY if that is one of her concerns get her a membership to a gym. (I wouldn't do it if she hasn't mentioned it or the loving act might be held against you!!!! LOL)


Give her several gift certificates from different places:


message therapist


nail technician


beauty salon





Congrats on the baby too!
Reply:I suggest a birthstone ring. Go to a local jeweler and tell him/her what you want. Give him/her a budget.





The jeweler can make a ring using real birthstones or semi-precious stones. The birthstones can be your new baby's, your wife's and maybe you! If you have more children, add them to the ring. It won't look junky if you ask a professional jeweler to do it.





This way, your wife will have "all of you" with her always when she wears the ring!
Reply:first of all do all the house work untill she is well or get domestic helper for her..... and then maybe you could get her a pendant with ur ur wives and babies initials on it..
Reply:Just help her out as much as you can.





Buy her a spa treatment (they have one's you can use at home), for her feet... then maybe a day at the spa and you take care of the little one.
Reply:Ohh let me tell you FOOD!! Real food because she is going to be hungry believe that!! My Husband got me a stuffed animal while I was in labor and after that he brought me flowers and a ballon. I loved he brought me something while I was in labor it really made me smile!!! Then when I got home he had cleaned the house so nice . Believe me all that together will make for a wonderful gift.
Reply:I would have to say a gift card to go get massage, get her nails done and get herself a make over... hair or color. i think that be a great idea. cause after labor us woman want to look good. lol
Reply:You can buy a mother's pendant. It is a charm that goes on a necklace that has the birth stone of the mother and the birth stone of the baby. You can find one that is within your budget and it is a good keepsake.
Reply:how about a locket so that once the baby is born she can put photos of her two favourite people in it! im sure she has a gold or silver chain to attatch it to... and a locket on its own wouldnt be expensive.................


congrats!!!!
Reply:Help her out as much as possible, tell her she's beautiful, and get her a mother's ring and anything that seems like it would make her life easier when she's not going to get much sleep for a while. You sound like a great guy! She's a lucky lady.
Reply:Maybe a bracelet or necklace or ring with the childs birth stone or name on it. You could even just go with a piece of jewelry not related to the baby or a spa gift certificate would be a great idea as well! Good Luck!
