What could I buy for pregnant bridesmaid not attending wedding?

[lovefreddy]

one of my best friends is an "honorary" bridesmaid in my wedding. After I asked her to be in the wedding, she became preggers and is due 2 weeks before wedding, so she is not coming. She has helped out alot, and I am not sure what to buy her. My gifts for the other bridesmaids all revolve around the trip. Any ideas

How about get her a photo session of her pregnant or for right after she delivers? Or if she is a little ecsentric a henna tattoo to cover her pregnant belly, or one of those paper mache' molds of her pregnant belly. Or a girls weekend for when you get back and after she has given birth (so like 6 months later or so, whenever she feels comfortable leaving the baby)

my prego friends love mommy spa days, they get a prenatal massage and a facial!

I was about to suggest the same thing!

I would say maybe a spa certificate. I think all mommies would LOVE to be pampered!

 

Edit: Maura beat me to it :~)

I would also agree to a spa treatment or something from your wedding destination.

Great ideas, I am now in the same boat too!

What about a basket (or bag, or whatever you wanna put it in) filled with things that will remind her/feel like a tropical location. You could get her a pedicure gift cert (although she can't use it til after! lol), tropical scented soaps or lotions, etc, candles with seashells, etc... just little things that are tropical! You could even get her margarita (or whatever other drink) mix so she can enjoy virgin cocktails!
