I suppose if you are going to buy post-pregnancy items from a celebrity mom it might as well be Brooke Burke.

The gorgeous former swimsuit model, who is currently pregnant with her fourth child, knows all about the challenges associated with returning to pre-baby shape. In fact, it's the reason she left TV hosting and modeling behind to market her own line of post-pregnancy belly wraps. According to her website (where you can purchase the post-pregnancy items) the belly wraps are believed to reduce the size of the swollen uterus, reduce water retention and help you lose inches, while supporting leftover baggy baby skin. Burke's original line of tummy tauts come in sexy lace and organic fabric, and range in price from $56-$62.

Another hot item on Burke's site is a buckle that allows you to get into your pre-pregnancy jeans quicker. Burke comes to the rescue of new moms who can't get the top button of their jeans to close post baby. The solution: Brooke's b-buckles. The device has three adjustments and snaps right over your troubling fly. It retails for about $20.

There's not a new mom (or anyone else on your holiday gift list) who would not appreciate a gift card, but instead of getting the standard gift certificate for books or music, how about springing for something a little more exotic?

For example:

Bedandbreakfast.com is offering gift cards redeemable at nearly 4,000 B&B's nationwide with no expiration or blackout dates.

Ideal for the new mom (or any mom) is a gift certificate from mollymaids.com. Free maid service for any amount of time you desire. The new mom in your life will feel like she really cleaned up with this gift card.

What woman would pass up the chance to get a free massage, a fabulous facial or a much-needed manicure? You can fulfill every girl's wish with a gift certificate from spawish.com, which can be used at over 1500 spas across the country.
