These are my favorite lounge pants to wear, hands down. They're super-soft and the lightweight fabric makes them a great option for year-round wear. I've had mine for over two years now, and, even though I wear them regularly, they still look and feel the same as when I first got them. I especially like the heathered pattern; if you have an accidental spill while you're out and about, it doesn't show up much at all. Expectant moms will appreciate the stretchy, ultra-soft fabric and flattering wide-leg silhouette. The waistband also features an internal drawstring and can be easily folded up or down, depending on the desired fit.

Then, the larger will feature text whether that be “Mom”, your loved one’s name or anything else you have in mind.

Some of the best mom-to-be gifts are splurge-worthy items—just like these luxe pajamas by Eberjey. While I’m not an expectant mother, I did receive a pair as a present, and they quickly became some of my favorite PJs. Before putting them on, you can tell they’re well-constructed and made of premium materials right away. The silky, stretchy fabric delivers premium softness without sacrificing aesthetics; I love the timeless look of them! The low-waisted pants sit comfortably on the hips, so they could be positioned under a bump. Meanwhile, the top offers a nice amount of coverage and is long enough to cover a bump, with buttons that can be undone easily, making it ideal for nursing. One piece of advice: I would recommend getting a darker color; my pair is white with a light pink floral pattern and it’s a bit see-through.

On the lookout for the perfect present for the yogi in your life? Then this luxe yoga mat is sure to be a winner.
