• Knowing what to give a pregnant woman for Christmas can sometimes be a challenge. You will want to give a gift that recognizes this special time in her life but chances are she has already received many practical gifts related to her pregnancy and new addition to her family at her baby shower. With this in mind, Christmas gifts meant for a pregnant woman should be less practical and more sentimental in nature.
  
  

A Family or Keepsake Quilt

• Family or keepsake quilts make excellent Christmas gifts for a pregnant woman. These kinds of quilts are meant to be displayed and are not meant for daily use, which means the quilt can be made more for sentimental purposes than for durability. A family or keepsake quilt can include an elaborate family tree with names of relatives, drawings of family members, or even ultrasound photos of the new addition. If you don't posses the skill or have the time to create a family or keepsake quilt you can have one custom made to fit your needs.
  
  

Something Sexy or Stylish

• If the woman you are buying for is your partner purchase her something she can feel sexy in. Taking her taste into account you can purchase anything from a maternity negligee to a sexy maternity dress. Maternity clothes can be a pricey considering most items can't be worn again after she gives birth, she might not have anything to wear that truly makes her feel sexy or stylish. If the woman you are buying for is not your significant other a stylish maternity coat makes a fantastic gift at Christmas time and shows her just how beautiful you think she is.
  
  

Something Shiny

• What women doesn't love jewelry at Christmas time? Customized lockets and pendants make sweet and sentimental gifts. Have her name along with the baby's name inscribed on a bracelet or put an ultrasound picture in a locket to create a touching Christmas gift that is beautiful and recognizes this special time in her life.
  
  

A Pregnancy Scrapbook

• A heartfelt gift for a pregnant woman is a homemade scrapbook full of pictures you have taken throughout her pregnancy. If you don't have access to very many photos of her be sure to include photos of friends and family members who are important to her, as well as copies of any ultrasound photos she has. Have friends and family members write little notes expressing their excitement over the new arrival. Leave several blank pages so that she can continue to fill the scrapbook with photos and other keepsakes as her journey continues.
