When it comes to meeting the surrogate mother, the Intended Parents always struggle with finding the proper gift to present her. That’s why we made 5 thoughtful gift ideas for your surrogate mother. We truly believe it will ease your search for present options.
- Basket with sweets, fruits and vegetables. Make sure to ask your surrogate mother what her food preferences are, especially if you are planning to surprise her during the first trimester as her food preferences can significantly change during pregnancy. Don’t forget to ask about her kids and what food they like as well. It will be very thoughtful from your side.
- SPA day (or massage for pregnant). Women who are not pregnant can barely find time for themselves and even more so when they are pregnant. Book SPA day or Massage for your surrogate mother. “Me-time” is an absolute must-have during this period, also if the surrogate is exposed to swelling, it would be very recommended to have a massage. Just imagine the dosage of relaxation and rest she can get during one session only.
- Movie in a theatre with comfortable sofas. Surprise your surrogate by buying tickets to the cinema. Choose a theatre room with sofa or bed to create comfortable conditions for your surrogate as it would be much easier to watch the movie in a lying position especially if the gestational term is big already. Don’t forget to include popcorn:)
- Presents for her kids. Make sure to ask about the exact age of her kids, find out their interests and what they like. Some present ideas can be as follows: Play-Doh sets, Educational books such as Usborne (Inside Your Body, How Things Work, My First Encyclopaedia, Listen and Learn First English Words), Lego, Puzzles, Crayola Markers Set, Drawing Pad, Clothes etc.
- Clothes for pregnant women. (Jeans, leggings, sweaters, even comfortable shoes as it happens pretty much often when the size of foot increases during pregnancy). I know it may sound as something unnecessary, as pregnant women can always wear oversize clothes but it is a matter of care from the Intended Parents and creating comfortable conditions for the surrogate mother even in this situation.
Conclusion
By showing interest to the surrogate mother in any of these aspects the Intended Parents can express their gratitude for her invaluable contribution to their family creation. Such small but carefully arranged gifts will bring so much joy for the surrogate. And remember: your support during the surrogacy journey is extremely important, that’s why even a routine message “How are you feeling today?” matters.
