How to Pick the Right Valaikappu Gift for Wife?
It Must Have a Personalised Touch
Pregnancy is such an important and sensitive phase of any woman’s life and while celebrating it, you must pick such Valaikappu gifts for the wife which are super personalised. Buying gifts as they are and handling them over to your wife indicates that you haven’t put any efforts in them.

Try to Pick More Relatable Gifts for Mother Rather Than for the Baby
One of the most common mistakes that most husband would do is to pick gifts for the baby and not for their wife.

It is the time to ditch the typical gifts and go for some DIY ideas to make her feel special and the top priority of your life. It might seem tiring initially, but the thought of making her smile will motivate you for sure.
