For the ultimate gift (albeit one requiring pre-giving consultation with the recipient), find a nurse-midwife who knows massage (you will discover most do - those quasi-alternative medicine types tend to hang together) and get her a massage DURING delivery. I have been told that this is better than drugs, by one who has had both.
Edited to add: if you want to find a specialist in prego-massage, check with the nearest nurse-midwife for a reference. There's a good mid-wife program at UTEP.
