"Henna use during pregnancy is an ancient practice and is soothing as well as calming.  It is believed to help bring about an easy birth and healthy child."  Says Cheeky Monkey, the site where I have been finding some fun, wonderful gifts, including the Henna Belly Painting Kit.

The description of this kit goes on, "Applying henna to the belly toward the end of a pregnancy in certain cultures is believed to protect or bless the mother and child during the difficulties of labor." To me it just seems like it would be fun and relaxing! 

Available at Cheeky Monkey for $39.99
