There is no question that this year has been a strange one. We've had so much thrown at us and we've had to pivot so many plans. There are few who know this as well as people who've been pregnant through social distancing and staying at home and out-of-the-ordinary medical appointments. It's been stressful and not at all fun, so we believe these people need to be pampered a little extra this season.
Buying a gift for moms-to-be or new mamas who likely didn't get to be as pampered or loved on as they should have been means being extra mindful of what we're getting them. We want to ensure they've got all they need to recover, rest, and bond with their baby — especially if they weren't able to have a baby shower. They deserve a little extra love and a few extra splurges, and we're here to help with that.
We've rounded up a list for all the pregnant people in our lives who didn't get to have a baby shower because of all that went on during 2020. So, instead, we're vowing to pamper them with some extra love for the holidays and have everything covered from the essentials to items that will help pamper the one who has been growing a brand-new human. We're confident there is going to be at least one thing on the list that's exactly what has been missing.
