Question - Mother's Day gift for friend

One of my best friends (roommate from college) is pregnant with her first child.  She's the first of my really close friends to have a baby.  She's 23 weeks and due in August.  I'll be seeing her at a friends party the weekend of Mother's Day.

She enjoys getting massages and I was thinking it might be nice, along with a couple other friends, to chip in and get her a gift certificate for a pre-natal massage.  Does anyone see anything wrong with this idea?  Is it too much?

And a follow up question...Our one close guy friends from college has two small children.  We've grown closer to his wife over the years and she's absolutely part of the group.  It's possible she may be coming to the party as well.  Should I think about maybe getting her a card or something small?  Or do you think it would be understood why we're giving a gift to our best friend and not her?

    I thought of doing that for my SIL for her 40th bday last year.  SHe was pregnant at the time.  I tried to get DH's sister and FSIL to chip in but they bailed and I couldn't afford to buy her the massage myself.  I think it's a great idea if you can afford it :)

    I think its a great idea.  I don't think you should feel obligated to get a gift for the other friend's wife.  Just don't give BFF her gift and make a big deal out of it in front of everyone.

    Haha, yeah, this will most likely hinge on getting my two other friends to chip in as well.

    Umm if my friends did this, I may love them forever. Great Idea! But I'd give it to her away from the other friend.

    I think it's a nice idea, but I agree with MH.... don't give it to your friend in front of the other girl.

    I'm doing something for the two bm's. I'm contemplating getting them the flowers that BP psa'd... especially because I'll go through my Upromise account. :)

    Coming from a mom? I'd love it if friends took such good care of me. :)

    Thanks everyone!  It's nice to have a group of people to bounce ideas off of and know you can trust their feedback.
