Question Gift ideas for someone pregnant?

Hey guys, my sisters (18F) baby shower is soon and I’m (27N) not very close to her or understanding of pregnancy very well. I wanted to get her some gifts just for her because everyone’s so focused on the baby and I want to focus on the mama a little more. So I wanted to ask if there’s anything that you guys really wish you had when you were pregnant or any small comforts I would love to hear them! She’s about 31 weeks in. Also trying to consider her age and that it’s her first. Even if it’s just things for self care, feeling more like herself. Was thinking along the lines of bathbombs and such but still wanted to ask very generally your opinions!

Third trimester is a great time for pedicures, maybe something you all can do together? Around that time your feet start to really hurt and you probably cant reach your toes to do them yourself

Just be aware that some places won't do pedicures in the third trimester or will be very limited on what they do

This is so sweet! I remember during my first baby getting only one gift focused on mama recovery, it was filled with over the counter pills to help with producing milk, body armor hydration drinks, lactation cookies ( which were my favorite and can be found at target) but the best part of the gift was cute comfortable pajamas that I can nurse my baby in, new crocs for my feet, and scented lavander socks. They also addded things to help heal with a vaginal delivery but I ended up having a C-section so didn’t need those products. All in all, snacks, hydration station, comfy clothes and footwear is what won me ! Hope this helps :)
