For a gift that is sure to amuse many of today's parents-to-be, rummage through a secondhand bookstore to find an old book on child development, discipline, or parenting.

Pickles 'n' ice cream, or any other unusual food combinations that appeal to the mother-to-be, make fun gifts.

Arrange a getaway for the expectant couple. Note: This gift would also be much appreciated after the baby's birth, but should then include an offer to babysit.

Contract with a cleaning service to help ready the house or apartment for Baby's arrival.

Every new mom—and dad—needs a sturdy, comfortable rocking chair. To ensure a perfect fit, take the expectant parents to the furniture store to "try on" rocking chairs. Or find a furniture company or craftsman that will make an ergonomically correct custom rocker.

Help paint, wallpaper, or furnish the nursery in preparation for baby's arrival.

Almost every mother-to-be counts the days to her due date! A Pregnancy Time Countdown Clock is a fun way to help her keep track of the days and minutes 'til the special event. (Countdown Clocks are also available for weddings, graduations, retirement, and other milestones.) Phone: 516/739-7800. Internet: www.countdownclocks.com.
