Supporting Your Office Family: A Guide to Group Gifting
Group Gift Giving To Spoil Your Pregnant Colleague
Send an expectant co-worker a luxury gift box from all of you! Nurtured 9 pregnancy gift boxes can be customized however you’d like, and include gift wrapping plus a handwritten notecard.
If you are anything like most, a 40+ hour work week lends itself to a close-knit extended work family. Let’s face it, sometimes it feels like we spend more time with our coworkers than our actual family. So, if you are among the lucky ones with a band of colleagues you call your friends, it's natural to want to celebrate every achievement, milestone, or life-changing moments.
One of the most exciting times in a coworker's life is when they decide to start a family. As your pregnant coworker steps into this new stage, filled with anticipation and many many adjustments (especially while still working through it), her honorary work family has a profound opportunity to show their love and support, especially in a place where she may least expect it. What should you give your pregnant colleague that’s from the whole team?
Group Gifting Guidelines To Live By
A group gift for an expectant colleague is a great way to display a sense of community, build workplace morale, establish a support system, and bolster her confidence through her pregnancy and new motherhood journey. Many gifts may come to mind but there is a lot to consider when gifting as a group for a company baby shower at the office or as a gift you send directly to her home.
Set a Budget: Determine a reasonable budget for the gift that works for everyone, and communicate this amount to all participants in advance. This helps prevent overspending and ensures that contributions are within everyone's means.
Inclusivity: Be sure that everyone in the office has an opportunity to participate if they so choose, however, be sure to relay that participation is voluntary and no one should feel pressured or obligated to contribute. Avoid excluding anyone based on personal preferences or office politics.
Group Decision-Making: Involve all participants in the decision-making process. Organize a group meeting, group chat, or survey to gather input on gift ideas.
Deadlines: Allow ample time for contributions to be collected and set a clear deadline so there is plenty of time to purchase the gift.
Include a Card: Add a special card with the gift including all the names of the contributors to show appreciation and recognition of all those who participated. Include a personalized message and the company logo for an extra special touch.
Deciding On The Right Gift That Everyone Can Agree On
Once you’ve established group participation and a suitable budget, the brainstorming can begin! Remember to choose a gift that is unique to the new Mom’s needs and personality while clearly relaying the sentiment of the group.

Spa Day Voucher: No woman alive, much less a pregnant woman, would be disappointed to receive the gift of a spa package. Give your coworker the gift of a massage, facial, or treatment of her choice to leave her feeling rejuvenated and recharged. This is a great way to appeal to all budget price points because you can add or remove treatments as the budget allows.
Gift Cards: Another gift that offers a lot of versatility is gift cards to her favorite stores, mommy-related or not. Consider a gift card to a popular baby store or maternity clothing shop where she can have the freedom to choose items for herself.
Subscriptions: Seems like the world is turning into one big subscription these days to make our lives easier and more entertaining. But the cost can rack up quickly for one person. A service that will either give her comfort and entertainment or take some sort of task off her busy plate will be super appreciated. This can include a streaming service, meal delivery, or even a few months of a cleaning service.
Customized Pregnancy Gift Baskets: The absolute best way (in our opinion!) to add an element of personalization and warmth to a group gift, is a customized pregnancy or new baby gift box. They 1) allow you to pick and choose items artfully tailored to her needs at this particular moment 2) Contain items she wouldn’t think to buy for herself, 3) Lets you add elements for both mom and baby, and 4) It gifts like a warm care package packed just for her, which is exactly the vibe a group gift would want to give in this instance.
A gift of any size, cost, or distinction is sure to warrant a smile but why settle for just a smile when you could drop a jaw or two and become the talk of the office with a truly one-of-a-kind gift? With a luxury pregnancy gift box to fit any price point (making it an ideal group gift!), Nurtured 9 has already put in the man-hours choosing the perfect products for an effortless shopping experience, personalized to perfection, that will leave her feeling showered in unexpected indulgence and overwhelming support from her amazing work family.
