Best gift for an expectant mother

I shop www.babywit.com for all my breeder friends. Seriously. The tiny pink and black "vans" are a total win.

^ I did the cleaning person as a gift and it went over very well

Um, care to rephrase that? lol

Nope. My cleaning person is a guy and a sweetie

Ok...if you insist......"I gave a gift certificate for cleaning and the present was well-received". Spoil sport!

Keep it practical. Do they have a baby bathtub yet?

I think the housecleaning idea is awesome.

I also like the keep it practical advice. You can also ask what she really wants/needs that she hasn't gotten.

Oh, and according to the moms I know, none of them were thrilled to get books on parenting as gifts.

My brother and his wife were swamped in clothes, blankets, and toys so I just asked what they still hadn't gotten that would be useful and a baby bjorn it was. It was just pricey enough (compared to all the other stuff) and not quite necessary that they hadn't gotten it themselves and it wasn't exciting enough that anyone else got it for them. And now it's in use with baby #2. I heard through the grapevine several times that they were so happy that someone ASKED them what they wanted/needed instead of another onsie or stuffed dog (they had so much stuff useless crap they had to store it away).
