~ Barefoot Dreams Blanket — Okay I got one for Christmas last year and YES it is pricey but omg it’s the best blanket! We ended up buying a second one for our home.
~ Kindle — One of my favorite things to do is cozy up in my egg chair outside or in a book bath and read fiction on my Kindle. The coziest vibes!
~ Ceramic Mug — No cozy environment is complete without an aesthetic mug filled with coffee or match, ya know?
~ Initial Necklace — I have this with my baby’s first name initial on it and new mamas always ask me where it’s from so they can get one, too!
~ ”Bumpin” Book — One of my favorite pregnancy books I’ve read. It’s super informative without being dry. Very comforting for new mama to-bes.
~ Mama Hat — Because washing your hair when pregnant is an actual Olympic sport.
~ ”A Heart So Full” Book — I got this as a gift and it is such a beautiful book! Perfect gift for new mamas.
~ Bump Hugging Biker Shorts — I have 3 pairs of these because once I hit the 3rd trimester my belly felt so heavy and these gave me a ton of relief.
~ Giant Water Bottle — Hydration is always important AF but it’s an even bigger deal when you’re pregnant and having my 40 oz Stanely was so helpful to make sure I was drinking enough during my pregnancy
~ Labor Prep Tea — I started drinking this at 32 weeks pregnant.
~ Electric Scrubber — This will save a pregnant woman’s back when she’s cleaning…trust me, lol
~ Gift Card for a Prenatal Massage — I obviously can’t link this BUT getting a prenatal massage (especially in the third trimester) is HEAVEN. Look for a place that specializes in working with pregnant women.

~ ”At Your Best” Book — One of the best time management books I’ve ever read, seriously.

~ Clevr Blends — I meaaaan if it makes Oprah’s favorites list then it’s gotta be good, right? 😉 But seriously, I can’t wait to get back to sipping on my daily Clevr Blends after my pregnancy. Clevr drinks are filled with adaptogens, mushrooms, and probiotics to help manage stress and give you energy. I like the chai, coffee, and matcha the best! (Use the code HUSTLESANELY for 15% off)
~ Acupuncture Mat — I actually bought this for myself for Christmas this year 😂 I’ve heard amazing things about how stress-relieving at-home acupuncture mats are and I’m stoked that this one has a pillow and back mat.
~ Lululemon Set — Lululemon Aligns are my FAVORITE leggings ever and when they released a ribbed version, I scooped them up! The ribbed version has a touch more compression than the OG Align leggings. These are the leggings and I paired mine with this sports bra (my fave one from Lulu) — both in the brown color.
~ Peacefully Productive Journal™ — I would be doing you a disservice if I didn’t share my ultimate mental health tool. My therapist and I discovered that daily journaling is the best coping mechanism for my anxiety and I created this journal with a lot of intention to make journaling enjoyable and not overwhelming.
