“I wore this every day of my pregnancy to prevent stretch marks. Not only did it smell delicious, but it really worked. I recommend it to anybody having a baby, but it’s good for after the delivery, too. It takes a long time for your body to spring back to shape, every little thing helps.”

“My gift to Kim will be a mink Céline coat to wear upon leaving the hospital, perfect for paps. And my gift to her baby will be the Stokke stroller, so he never has to share with North West.”

“Nothing celebrates the arrival of a new addition better than a piece of phenomenal jewelry. This antique diamond and pearl necklace from S.J. Phillips is subtle, sophisticated, and elegant. Plus Mrs. West will no doubt want to add a little sparkle to any outfit once she’s toting about baby boy West.”

“I would get her a night nurse for the first two weeks! Although since she probably has one, the next best thing is this cashmere onesie from Hatch in all three neutral colors—her palette of choice—so she can lounge around comfortably without sacrificing her style.”

“I’d say a personalized cashmere blanket for the baby, now that you know what the baby’s name and monogram are. For the mom, especially a mom like Kim Kardashian West who has absolutely everything, I’d say, send over a delicious meal or some fresh baked goods and hold off on a visit. The worst thing when you’re a new mom is guests standing in the way of you and a much-needed nap. I’d also say a nice bottle of champagne or wine. This mom hasn’t had more than maybe a glass here or there in nine months. Bottoms up!”

“I would have Kim Kardashian West pick a charity for me to donate to, like Christy Turlington Burns’s Every Mother Counts, which helps women who do not have access to adequate maternal health care and aims to make pregnancy, as well as childbirth, safer. Also, on the site, you can buy clothing and accessories—the proceeds go to charity.”

“After you’ve carried a child for nine months and have gone through hours of intensive labor, I can’t imagine a new mother needing anything more than some R&R via a spa day. I wish I had a pregnant friend in Miami who I could send to Lapis Spa at Fontainebleau, but for all of my NYC moms-to-be, a gift certificate to Shibui Spa or Aire Ancient Baths is coming your way.”

“My gift to Kim would be a ReTrak Bluetooth Selfie Stick so she can master the perfect ‘threlfie’ (this is a real thing). Also, I’d throw in a chic iPhone case for protection and some noise canceling headphones for when she’ll need #peace and #serenity.”

“My gift to Kim would be a set of Ron Jon Surf Shop sweats, which in my apartment was the go-to postpartum outfit—for both Mom and Dad, to be honest. The baby gets a Ron Jon camo onesie, obviously. Surf’s up.”

“For Kim, who has a sense of humor, and who said being pregnant made her feel like a whale, Thom Browne’s mammalian bag. And for the baby, the matching change purse with a shiny copper 2015 penny inside.”

“It’s been well documented that Kim and Kanye—and North, for that matter—prefer a neutral palette to primary colors. An ivory sheepskin rug such as this would surely suit the design-conscious couple’s tastes, while providing a luxe setting for the tummy time that’s to come.”

“It’s North who will most need a present! I’m sure this is going to be very disorienting for her.”
