Celebrate Her Journey: The Best Gift for Your Pregnant Daughter
Expertly curated mom-to-be presents that aren’t found on Amazon!
Congrats Grandma! Your daughter (or daughter-in-law) is pregnant and of course, you want to celebrate! Now comes the search for the perfect pregnancy present to commemorate the happy news that your family is growing. But in a sea of pregnancy gift ideas and endless product lists, it can be overwhelming and hard to make a decision. Do you go super practical with prenatal vitamins and a pregnancy pillow from Amazon? Or lean into baby right away with a newborn layette set and tiny booties from a big box retailer? Or…is there an even better option, something that’s just for her, the mom, that makes her feel special? The answer is yes! We’re here to guide you through your search with our tried-and-true elegant pregnancy gifts from our boutique gifting studio, Nurtured 9. All of the luxurious and thoughtful gifts in this guide come beautifully wrapped, include a handwritten notecard (so you can share your sweet sentiments with your daughter or daughter-in-law), and ship directly to your home, straight from our headquarters in Tucson, AZ.
First, a quick introduction. We are Lauryn and Lindsey, both moms of two, and co-founders of Nurtured 9, a small business dedicated to gifting moms. We’ve made it our mission to make gifting for pregnancy and postpartum elevated and easy. Although we are not yet grandmothers ourselves, we have fielded many questions from other grandmas-to-be in your exact position, and have made it our business to know what pregnancy and new mom products are the best and most popular today, so that we can help you all along your gifting journey. Now, let’s dive in!
The Best Gift for Your Pregnant Daughter – Suggestion #1
A pregnancy gift box curated by grandmother extraordinaire DeeDee Moore
The first pregnancy gift that we recommend is The Sleep and Relax Pregnancy and New Mom Gift Box, which is a curated collaboration between Nurtured 9 and an experienced grandmother whose perspective we find so spot on and lovely: DeeDee Moore from the resource for all things grandparenting, More Than Grand. Through her online content, DeeDee shares her honest advice and valuable ideas for strengthening the bonds with grandchildren—and with their parents. Given her expertise in the relationships between a grandmother and her expectant daughter, we asked DeeDee if she’d like to curate-her-own Nurtured 9 gift box so that we could share her exact picks with you! And alas, here it is, The Sleep and Relax Pregnancy and New Mom Gift Box (designed to help mom sleep!), which includes:
Nurtured 9 Maternity/Postpartum Pajama Set - luxurious, light & silky pjs to keep mom feeling comfortable. Plus, they’re nursing friendly!
Satin Sleep Mask - to gently block out light so that mom can rest
8 Sheep Organics Sleepy Body Lotion - a lavender-scented magnesium infused moisturizer that relaxes your mind and body naturally for a deeper, more restful sleep
Earth Mama Organic Peaceful Tea - formulated with chamomile and herbs traditionally used to help promote a sense of calm, relieve occasional anxiousness, ease tension, and promote sleep
“Giving your daughter or daughter-in-law a gift to let her know you are there for her is an amazing way to support and nurture your relationship. Can you think of a better way to celebrate a new grandchild than by thanking their mother with a gift just for her? Especially one that acknowledges that having a baby is hard, and that she deserves to be pampered.”

We are all about soaking in the simple pleasures--like a soothing sip of a toasty beverage. The Nurtured 9 “Just For You, Mama” pale pink mug elevates this moment with a subtle reminder that this joyful moment is all about her. (Even if mom does have just ONE moment to herself!)
We collaborated with a local designer to create this classic clay pale pink mug with Mama in mind, so it is equal parts beautiful, thoughtful, and practical (yes, it is dishwasher and microwave safe!). Each mug is handmade, wheel thrown and kiln-fired, then hand glazed in an ombre pale pink and stamped "Just For You, Mama". We love to pair it with one of Earth Mama Organics' Teas as a well-deserved, relaxing treat. Let Mama know that it is important for her to take time for herself; she will certainly feel loved with every sip.
