PJs and food! Even if her mil is going to be there - food is still nice, a meal she can heat up later when they have less help? maybe some muffins or cookies? In the early weeks easy to grab food is good. </p> <p>I just brought my friend a breakfast casserole to easily heat up since both her mom and mil where there and I know they all loved it! My sister brought me choc chip pumpkin muffins she made and it was sooo great to have! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-after-delivery#post-447115 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:52:11 +0000 prettylizy 447115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: yep! nice pj's are the best, and if they're not marketed as 'nursing' pj's they are way less expensive </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-after-delivery#post-447103 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:47:37 +0000 MrsTiz 447103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: She's not going to BF, so maybe some regular pajamas wouldwork?</p> <p>Ooh, I have a peppermint bath set in my gift closet I could give her?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-after-delivery#post-447091 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:44:58 +0000 Ash 447091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Obviously I'm not a mama... I wouldn't have thought to get comfy pjs but such a good idea! I took my friend a Starbucks gift card and a pumpkin scone.... her favorite!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-after-delivery#post-447069 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:37:27 +0000 autumnlove 447069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely food or some comfy lounge pants? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-after-delivery#post-447062 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:35:40 +0000 rachiecakes 447062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FOOD! I loved when friend brought take-out, it was nice to have a restaurant meal even though I was stuck indoors.<br /> A nice wrap sweater or pair of yoga pants would be nice, too. That's what I lived in for weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-after-delivery#post-447049 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:26:43 +0000 travelgirl1 447049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone just bought me a really nice bar of chocolate bath oil. So excited about using it! Anything that can add to her comfort or make her feel good about herself would be great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-after-delivery#post-447019 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:14:38 +0000 prettylizy 447019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love giving a new mom a really nice set of nursing pj's. You spend so much time in your pj's in those early weeks, and it's nice to have something that makes you feel special as opposed to a gift for the baby. Every mom I've given this to has loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-a-friend-after-delivery#post-447009 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:12:01 +0000 MrsTiz 447009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a girlfriend who is in the hospital right now about to give birth to her first baby. She wants me to come visit once she gets home. She is staying with her SO's family for a while before they go back to NY..so, typically you can take new moms meals or help dp chores, but she's going to have her MIL to do that. What can I take her that would be a good gift for her? I already have something for her LO </p>
