What to buy your pregnant boss

I had lunch with a dear friend the other day, and she told me she’d just found out her boss is expecting for the first time (with twins!). So exciting. She wasn’t sure how best to acknowledge the good news though so, as folks sometimes do, she asked for my advice. Now, I’m not an expert on gift-giving to pregnant employers—my boss is a man, you see—but I did come up with five ideas that I thought might be particularly nice. (Also, they’d be great for a friend or family member or anyone else with a baby on the way who you’d like to send a little love to.) Would you like to see my picks?

ice cream sandwiches / journals / versatile shorts / nail polish 
magazine subscription (sorry for the shameless promotion, guys, but it makes a great gift!)

What do you think? Would you give any of these to your with-child supervisor (or bestie!)? And if you’re a mama-to-be, which would you most want to receive? I’d love to hear.
