Shopping for a pregnant friend or family member sounds easy. But once you dive into the world of teeny onesies, plush toys, and swaddles in 97 different patterns… it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
So what do mums-to-be really want?
Whether your pregnant bestie lives in the leafy streets of Camberwell, the bayside bliss of Brighton, or is nesting seaside in Sorrento, this gift guide is your secret weapon to nailing the perfect present.
We’re keeping it heartfelt, practical, and absolutely beautiful. And yes—there’s a little something in here from yours truly. 💁♀️
📷 1. A Bella Fresh 48 Newborn Photography Gift Voucher
A Bella Fresh 48 session captures baby in those first precious day or so after birth. We're reimagening Newborn Photography from unaffordable or generic... to truly unique & special.
Using natural lighting, we document the early days with your new baby in your hospital or home. We don't overly pose your baby, or use props, the session is very relaxed, flexible and super friendly. The resulting gallery includes portraits of baby, close-ups details, feet, sibling, baby with individual parents and family shots.
You’ll be giving something no baby product can match: a beautiful collection of images to look back on for the rest of their lives.
Our gift vouchers are available in any $ amount and are fully refundable (no reason necessary)
