Your sister, a friend or your partner has just told you she’s expecting a baby.
Naturally, attention often focuses on the future child: a soft toy, a first outfit… gestures filled with tenderness.
But when I was pregnant myself, I realised how much pregnancy is also a time of deep transformation for the woman: the body changes, emotions intensify… A magical yet intense moment that deserves to be supported with care.
Finding an original gift for an expecting mother is not always easy. If someone close to you has just shared this beautiful news and you would like to offer a meaningful gift, I have gathered 12 slow and local gift ideas, designed to care for the mother-to-be while consuming more consciously 🌱
Idea 1: a maternity photoshoot for an expecting mother – Atelier Moino
We didn’t do one for my first pregnancy and I only have mirror selfies as memories 😂 For my second pregnancy, I “dragged” my husband to a photoshoot with Marie and he ended up loving it. Marie makes you feel comfortable, everything happens very naturally and she adapts to everyone’s wishes.
I think it’s truly a beautiful gift because we often hesitate to organise a photoshoot, but when it’s given as a gift, we’re a bit “forced” to do it ;-)
Price between €225 and €275 incl. VAT for at least 50 photos.

Idea 2: a prenatal massage for expecting mothers with Gatienne from Hults
After 6 years as a nurse, Gatienne wanted to care for people in a different way. She welcomes you in Lasne for various face and body treatments. And she has a magical table: part of it can be removed to make space for the pregnant belly and enjoy a real back massage while lying on your stomach. It feels amazing. Cherry on top: Gatienne has chosen to work with Siprès massage oils, approved for use during pregnancy, 100% natural and beautifully scented.
