@ My Sister is Pregnant! Care Package Ideas?

[hockeywife]

My sister just found out she's pregnant. She is 13ish weeks along and I want to send her a care package, but I'm not quite sure what to send.

I'd like to send some useful things and some fun things.

Thoughts?

When my friend announced her pregnancy she received this as a gift from another friend. My friend said she loved it and wrote in it every week/month: www.amazon.com/The-Belly-Book-Nine-Month-Journal/dp/0307336182/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1350404490&sr=8-12&keywords=belly+book

Clothing giftcards: GAP (can use at GAP + Old Navy online maternity), Motherhood Maternity (not a very $$MM place, but whatevs). Its hard to find decent maternity wear.

Books: I still use the ol' stand-by:
www.amazon.com/What-Expect-When-Youre-Expecting/dp/0761148574/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1350404684&sr=1-1&keywords=what+to+expect+when+you%27re+expecting


If you want to get your BIL a gift as well, I got DH this book. It has been VERY handy:
www.amazon.com/Be-Prepared-Practical-Handbook-Dads/dp/0743251547/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1350404631&sr=1-2&keywords=dad+pregnancy+book

For fun: TUMS ;D, some compression socks for ankle swelling, Giftcards to ice cream shops, baby design books for decorating a nursery, decaf coffee if she's a caffeine lover...

HTH!

Congrats Aunt-to-be! When my sister was pregnant, I sent her a care package with Burt's Bees Mama Bee items, a prenatal yoga dvd, some decaf tea, and a bella band.

Thanks to all for the suggestions so far - I am way out of my element here!

Keep the ideas coming

Some women still drink caffeine.

Haha. My sister did too, come to think of it! Maybe scratch the decaf until you know how addicted she is

She used to work at Starbucks. She is VERY addicted. LOL. I'd be proud if she reduced her order to a single shot of espresso as opposed to the triple-shot norm.
