Suggestions for thank-you gift?
A wonderful friend has done EVERYTHING for me during my pregnancy: advice, listening, offering to have her husband drive me to the doctor, even making a meal just for me that wouldn't upset my stomach at a dinner gathering. Her whole family has embraced my hubby and I as this baby is going to be a new addition to their family (I sure feel like he is). The list could go on and on. On top of all this, she's organizing a huge baby shower for me.
Nothing could ever be enough to thank her for her help. I'd buy her a mansion if I could. But she wouldn't want it -- she already has everything. And unfortunately, baby preparation is taking a LOT of money. I'm trying to save as much as possible in the next few months to do something for her -- hopefully at least $200 (it's not enough, but that's what I'll probably have).
Does anyone have suggestions for gifts? And should I give it to her after the shower or after the baby is born? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks!

i think the best thing for you to give to make her feel that way she makes you feel is to take a road trip together somewhere. or spend some time at the spa. no one gift is going to say everything that you want to. letting her know how grateful you are for everything she does and returning little favors like what she did for you will mean a lot.
you are very lucky, always know that but she is just as lucky as you are to have you as a friend

If she already has everything, no tangible gift. It would insult her. Really.
She helped you, that is her reward. Let her attend the birth, suggest names, hug her, ask for advice, hold the baby, etc. but the best thing you can do is just tell her your appreciation.
She understands that all your money and resources have to go towards the baby. That is what mothers do.
Not everyone measures their life in money and gifts, and the more money you make, the less measuring you do.

A spa package, or certificate for a nice resturant for her and her husband, or even an hours massage and a basket full of delightful organic body products. Give it to her after the baby is born, so that you can really tell her how much you appreciate such a good friend!

Well, they say a picture is worth a million words! So, if you know some of her hobbies or passions you could surprise her with a nice little portrait made from a photo depicting exactly what or whom she likes. This can be done at http://www.paintyourlife.com/ for a reasonable fee and according to your specifications!
The same company also has a studio for oil paintings reproductions. If you are looking for an affordable gift urgently, you can take a look at their 'stock on sale'. Visit http://www.oil-paintings-reproductions.com/
