Valentine’s Day Gifts For Pregnant Women
Contains gifted products & aff links.
Being pregnant isn’t the easiest job in the world. Everything is a bit sore or swollen, you feel sick and nauseous, you’re permanently knackered and you’re lugging around a heavy little human with you everywhere you go.
It also means you don’t get to enjoy some of the luxuries you may have enjoyed before. Things like a luxury spa day seem less exciting when you can’t have the full range of treatments. You can’t reach for that bottle of wine at the end of a hard day. You can’t even eat some good old fashioned gooey cheese (yep, that counts as a real treat for me!)
Valentine’s Day is all about showing the love and appreciation you have for your significant other. So if your lady just so happens to be working hard on growing a baby, she definitely deserves some pregnant friendly pampering and carefully thought out gifts come February 14th.
Valentine’s Day Gift Guide For Pregnant Women
To start off with, how about a nice collection of Phil Smith hair products to care for those lushious locks? Phil Smith do a marvelous range of products that leaves hair glossy, sleek and frizz free. Try the Super Smooth Luminous Shampoo (£3), Glam Shine Ultimate Glossy Conditioner (£3.50), Total Treat Argan Oil Cream (£4) or the Glam Shine Glossing Serum (£4). All four smell wonderful, plus they help to transform the texture of your hair into lustrous silky locks. What more could you ask for? The products help to lock in moisture to heal dry, damaged hair and restore smoothness. Just in case you’re wondering, all the products are safe to use during pregnancy and breast feeding and are available exclusively in Sainsbury’s stores nationwide.
On the theme of looking and feeling great, why not treat your lovely lady to one of Hunkemoller’s gorgeous All Over Lace Kimonos. I reviewed one earlier this year and I have to say, their clothing is utterly fabulous. I think that it’s important to feel confident with your new body during and after pregnancy, and something like this really does help to give the ego a good old boost. If lingerie isn’t an option, Hunkemoller also sell loads of sleepwear (including some comfy looking PJs!), underwear, sportswear and swimwear.
It’s all jolly good feeling confident with the way you look, but it’s important for a pregnant woman to feel confident and empowered about the pregnancy journey and delivery. You may know that I’m pregnant with Baby Number 2. Upon hearing others rave about hypnobirthing, I decided to do some research into this natural approach to pregnancy. If you’re looking to have a calm and confident birth with your partner, The Hypnobirthing Book by Katharine Graves (£12.97) could make an excellent gift for mums to be. The book focuses on the production of oxytocin (that magical love hormone), the knowledge and skills needed to fend off fear, building confidence and bonding with your baby and partner both before and after birth. The hypnobirthing book also comes with a relaxation MP3 download to help you to drift off into your bubble of calm and practice the techniques learned. There will be a full review of the book up on Lukeosaurus And Me in a few weeks and I’m really looking forward to diving in and learning more about the benefits of hypnobirthing, so watch this space.
If she hasn’t already got one, pregnancy pillows are 100% worth it. It may sound like a cop out gift, but I guarantee that giving her the gift of a comfortable night’s sleep will be absolutely life changing. I haven’t listed a specific brand or type because they come in some many different shapes and sizes that it’s worth having a scroll through all of the different styles. For me, I needed something to support my back and something to go under my tummy. Sleeping on your side with the weight from your bump can twist and hurt your back, so having something to help take some of the weight off has made a huge difference to ability to sleep and therefore my overall mood.
A few weeks after finding out that I was pregnant, Mikey bought me a gorgeous Pregnancy Necklace from Not On The High Street. The idea behind the necklace is that you have a little chime ball at the end of a long chain that helps baby and mum to bond. When worn low over your growing bump, the soft chimes comfort the baby. Once your bundle of joy has been born, gently shaking the chime pendant can help sooth and calm your baby, even helping to aid sleep. If you’re looking for something original, this pendant makes a wonderful gift for a pregnant friend or partner, comes in a luxurious gift box and retails at £29. I wear mine every day and I really do love it. A gift from my partner that focuses around our baby and growing family just makes it extra special to me.
It has come to my attention that some people don’t like bath bombs. I mean…I don’t know how anyone could dislike them, but if your mum to be is anything like me, she definitely won’t turn her nose up at Lush’s Valentine’s Day collection.

Some truly stunning gifts here. I love that lace Kimono!
Lukeosaurus And Me
It’s gorgeous, isn’t it? 😀
Jenni
I used that hypnobirthing book and the cds too! That kimono is stunning x
Lukeosaurus And Me
I’m really looking forward to reading it in full, I’ve only skimmed so far but I’m quite excited.
Rhian Westbury
Great ideas, anything which promotes pampering and relaxing would be great for a pregnant lady x
Lukeosaurus And Me
I would have to agree with you on that one. 😉
Jen
It can be rather tricky to get the right gift when you’re pregnant. Skin is different, food tastes different, no alcohol, clothes totally different, even your sense of smell differs. So this is a great gift guide for ideas, am loving the kimono you’ve shown, very very pretty.
Lukeosaurus And Me
Oh yes, definitely. A combo of knowing what she’s into and what she definitely has absolutely no interest in anymore, as well as having a rough idea of gifts you could get is the solution.
NICOLETTE LAFONSECA
Wish I had known about that necklace, more than enough reason for a third baby right….
Lukeosaurus And Me
It’s amazing, but I wouldn’t go that far! 😛
Joanna
The products from Burt’s Bees are so high quality and I am always surprised that they don’t cost a fortune. Anything from them would be a great Valentine’s Day gift for any woman. 🙂
Lukeosaurus And Me
Agreed! I use their lip balms a lot and love them.
Lisa
I love the necklace and the belly butter we don’t usually buy for each other for Valentines Day but it would be nice x
Lukeosaurus And Me
We don’t usually go all out, this year he’s cooking me my favourite meal 🙂 That’s enough for me, it’s been a skint few months!
Chrissy Faery
What a great list – that lace kimono is totally gorgeous and I love the idea of the pregnancy necklace – what a beautiful way to calm and bond with your little one! x
Lukeosaurus And Me
The kimono is fabulous, isn’t it?! It feels so soft as well. 🙂
Debbie
I’m loving that necklace and think you definitely deserve a treat being pregnant over valentines
Lukeosaurus And Me
It’s lovely isn’t it? I think being pregnant on Valentine’s day definitely calls for some form of treat. It’s not easy being pregnant.
Helen
What a lovely idea the chime necklace is. Pregnant women do need a lot more pampering so this gift guide is a brilliant idea.
Katrina
I would be super happy to receive the hair products as my hair is super problematic at the best of times never mind when pregnant
Lukeosaurus And Me
This Phil Smith range is gorgeous! My hair is the same because I dye it so often, but being pregnant I am obviously trying to keep unnecessary chemicals to a minimum. The hair bits are making my hair feel better than it’s felt in years! 😛
Jem
These are all lovely ideas. That chime necklace is wonderful.
Lukeosaurus And Me
Thank you so much. The necklace is gorgeous, isn’t it? 🙂
Tanya
Oh I’m so in love with the idea of the pregnancy necklace, such a thoughtful idea and the fact it’s a present for you and baby just gives it that little something extra
Lukeosaurus And Me
It’s a gorgeous gift idea isn’t it? I really love mine.
Laura H
I love that “belly butter” exists! Sounds like a great gift for an expectant mummy as Burt’s Bees are known to be really high quality and are well loved 🙂
Lukeosaurus And Me
Belly butter is amazing! I use it even when I’m not pregnant, it makes your skin so soft.
Yaya
Pregnant mamas deserved to be pampered and spoilt! These are perfect gifts. x
Lukeosaurus And Me
Definitely!
WhatLauraLoves
That necklace is absolutely gorgeous! I love how jewellery can be kept for years and years after the day xxx
Lukeosaurus And Me
It’s a very special piece, isn’t it? 🙂
Olivia
Lush always has some of the cutest bath stuff I love their bubble bars, the idea of a pregnancy necklace sounds so cute too! I think this a unique gift guide to make pregnancy feel good!
Lukeosaurus And Me
Lush bubble bars and bath bombs are AMAZING. They are my ultimate treat. 😀
Kristal Tu
Great article! My best friend is pregnant and she is tired of receiving gifts for her baby. I actually bought her a new lace cardigan and he was delighted. Are you planning to update this post with more gifts ideas?
Nigel William
Lifesaving ideas! My wife is pregnant with twins, would I be right to gift her with 2 presents? Also, are you planning to update this article soon to include more ideas?
Lukeosaurus And Me
Hahaha, I think that might be a safe bet – or you can have a look at our Mother’s Day guide (https://lukeosaurusandme.co.uk/mothers-day-gift-guide-2018/) for more inspiration too. As Valentine’s Day has been and gone, I doubt I will be updating until next year now. 🙂
