A gift basket full of stuff a newborn would need for the first few weeks. For example, 0-3 months clothes (sleepers), 3 oz. bottles, receiving blanket, etc. A newborn theme basket.

You could make a mom basket. put in super comfy slippers, herbal tea or flavored decaf coffee, books or magazines you know she would like, dvd 's of her favorite show, accessories for a hobby she has or wants to learn (knitting needles, cross stitching supplies, beads and supplies, paint), some good lotion, a hand back massager (i have one that is wooden and has a ball on the end with little knubs that stick out and feels great). personalize and make it truly for her. or if you really want to do this for the baby you could make a basket that will grow with the baby. you could put in onesies and clothes in a range of sizes up to a year, diapers in sizes 1-3, some books, picture frames (all new parents go crazy taking pictures) and some disposable cameras if the mother doesn 't have a camera. or a themed basket. if mom refers to the baby as little princess make it super girly. if the baby kicked a lot in the womb get some stuff with a soccer motif.

One really neat thing we bought when I was in the hospital having my son was PeePee TeePees lol, if you know its a boy...they are like little cloth tents you put over top of their "PeePees " so you don 't get peed on, I found them so handy, I saved myself a lot of messes, and they are washable, in a pack I think there is close to 10 I cant remember exactly.....I only found them at hospitals, I 'm not sure where else they could be sold.
