Amuse Me Nursing Covers — $65

Not everyone is a fan of nursing covers. But if your pregnant friend is worried about flashing her boobs – or needing a whole new nursing-friendly wardrobe – then you can't do better than these designer nursing covers. Each cover is two-sided, made of two gorgeously patterned cotton fabrics, plus an adjustable-with-one-hand neck strap. The finishing touch is a series of ribbons sewn on the underside, designed to keep the baby's hands occupied while keeping the mother modest.

Rubicon Rucksack by Petunia Picklebottom — $235

When we first saw photos of this rugged leather satchel, we referred to it as the diaper bag Indiana Jones might carry. Now that we've held it in our hands, we know that the Harrison Ford-worthy exterior belies a truly swank interior: antique brass fastenings, an engraved wipes case, a water-resistant changeable lining in a sophisticated rust color. Okay, so the wipes case may be overkill, but get this: all the baby-friendly features (bottle pockets, storage-filled lining) can be converted to accommodate a laptop and accessories. Invest in this bag and you may not need to buy another one for years — new baby or no new baby.

The Deluxe Little Stork Delivery Bag — $280

Here at Babble, we've seen several pre-packed bags that claim to have everything you'll need for the hospital — but the Deluxe Delivery Bag from Little Stork is the first one that lives up to (and even surpasses) that claim. The gigantic canvas bag is full of quality name-brand goods: an organic robe, ridiculously comfy Daniel Green slippers, a nursing gown, a baby going-home outfit from Under the Nile, a Bravado nursing bra with gel and breast pads, massage oil, socks, lollipops, his-and-hers toiletries, a journal and pen and — seriously, there's a lot more, but we're running out of space. With contents that will get plenty of mileage even after your hospital visit, this bag is the ultimate in practical luxury.

Baby Spaces Nursery Planner — $19.99

Pregnant ladies are not supposed to be moving heavy furniture — and yet, a new baby demands some redecorating. Save pregnant people (and their partners) some backaches with these life-sized furniture templates from Design Yourself Interiors. They can cut out the paper footprints of a crib, changing table, dresser, and whatever other pieces they're cramming into that nursery, then rearrange them to their heart's content. Voila: no last-minute freak-outs when the bassinet is too big for the corner.

Dadgear Skull & Flames Diaper Bag — $82

The folks at Dadgear can barely keep up with orders for the new Skull & Flames version of their signature messenger bag. Yes, the bag is a little ridiculous. But it's also the most un-diaper-bag-looking diaper bag we've seen for under $100. And hey, not all parents want to look "cute" or "sporty." In addition to metal cred, the bag has a three-point harness, a built-in wipes dispenser, bottle pockets with exterior access, and a spacious interior.

Bucket of Burpies from Zebi Baby — $38

Every new parent needs burp cloths; why not get them the nicest-looking ones they've ever seen? Zebi Baby's "burpies" are made of super-thick absorbent cotton and come in a selection of retro designs. And they're packaged in a reusable gallon bucket. It's such an attractive gift that, for a moment, you forget what those cloths are actually for.
