Boss Baby on Board: What to Give Your Boss Who’s Pregnant
In the new age of employee/employer workplace dynamics, it’s becoming more and more prevalent to have close working relationships with our bosses. It’s an inspiring shift in our usual office mentality, leading us to relish in the opportunity to shower our bosses with equal love and admiration both personally and professionally.
If you are lucky enough to have a boss who celebrates your small wins and big life changes, you want to do the same for them when given the chance. So when he/she announces an expecting bundle of joy, there are a ton of ways to show your support and share in the excitement. How you do so can vary depending on if they are the ones expecting or if it’s their partner, but nevertheless, take it as an opportunity to get creative and have a little fun.
Important Questions to Ask yourself When Gifting Your Boss
It’s a different ball game than simply giving a gift to a friend. I mean, this is your boss, your pregnant boss! It can be a delicate line when balancing professionalism with personal well-wishes. So what questions should you be asking yourself so you don’t drop the ball (so to speak)?
What is your boss’ personality? (introvert, extrovert, homebody)
What was her journey to motherhood like? (infertility, IVF, surrogacy, adoption)
What is your relationship with her?
What is the company's policy on office gift-giving?
Will this be a gift just from you or from your entire work team?

Let’s Hear It For The Boys: Unique Ways to Gift Your Male Boss Whose Partner is Expecting
Perhaps it’s not your boss who’s pregnant, but your boss’ partner. Although he isn’t physically experiencing it, I guarantee, in his own way, he is going through it too. He’s likely enduring sleepless nights, endless nerves, anxiety-ridden doctor visits, and co-sleeping with her new body pillow (we all know how easily men are replaced with a body pillow). It can be a difficult adjustment for the future dads as well. A big life change calls for a celebration and I’m sure very few people consider how the men are affected. So imagine their surprise when an employee thinks of them for a change.
Gift With Purpose: Offer a Helpful Solution
Help him connect with his wife again - give him gifts to facilitate a spontaneous date night with popcorn, chocolates, coffee, hot cocoa, cookies, and candles.
Help him contribute to the prep process for the baby's arrival - a rattle or toy, baby blanket, or baby book. It will make him feel included in the journey.
Prepare him for her postpartum journey - Help him help her pack essential hospital bag items or things to ease the transition at home like tea, robes, and slippers. (Save the more intimate postpartum gifts, like heating pads, peri bottles, nipple butter, and herbal bath or spray products that ease swelling, for your close non-work friends to avoid awkwardness!)
How to Adjust Your Work Life to Offer Maximum Support
Even the smallest gesture can make big waves, especially when it comes to your boss who may not expect much, given their position. Even if you aren’t able to give a physical gift, there’s always something you can do to extend a simple congrats and appreciation for their continued dedication to the workplace through this challenging stage. Some of the best gifts are given through action, rather than words:
Meet deadlines ahead of schedule
Bring breakfast or coffee
Take initiative (pick up the slack if she needs to be out)
And for goodness sake, throw a work baby shower!! Who doesn’t love a good party in their honor?
Final words: Congratulating your boss on her pregnancy with a thoughtful gift gesture can help foster a positive and supportive work environment. Whatever gift you choose, don’t forget to include a gift message with your well wishes for a smooth and joyful journey into parenthood!
