Most of these things you can get at target.</p> <p>I pack all the things mentioned below into an anthropologie mug with the babe's initial (like this: <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/poshome/78404.jsp)" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/poshome/78404.jsp)</a><br /> - Batteries<br /> - Good chapstick<br /> - Pacifiers<br /> - Dry Shampoo<br /> - Some type of chocolate </p> <p>Honestly, lately, all I've been craving are chocolate covered strawberries, so I have to suggest that too! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-postpartum#post-591287 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:11:09 +0000 littlebittyhouse 591287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>odwalla smoothies, odwalla bars, gift card for take out is a great idea! a nice cozy blanket for the couch - we spent so much time there the first few weeks lol, a water bottle that is east to open one handed and doesn't leak! i loved my camelback - i could have it next to me on the couch and i knew it wasn't going to spill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-postpartum#post-591286 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:10:33 +0000 DillonLion 591286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have loved a bunch of easy, ready-to-go healthy snacks and a reusable water bottle with a straw! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-postpartum#post-591279 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:08:19 +0000 blackbird 591279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could just go to the grocery store and pick up a fresh roasted chicken and a bunch of sides from the deli counter!!!! Easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-postpartum#post-591253 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:01:17 +0000 regberadaisy 591253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: haha cute! I'll have to see how to find out what brand she is using. Likely Pampers bc that's what the hospital gives out.</p> <p>I'm liking the takeout gc or groceries! Maybe like a bag of snacks with instant oatmeal to help with supply? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-postpartum#post-591233 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 09:52:27 +0000 lavender 591233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My go to gift for new parents now is a package of diapers. Never can go wrong with them...unless they cloth diaper :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-postpartum#post-591206 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 09:45:43 +0000 MaisyMay 591206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the gift card for take-out! Could you maybe call her and ask if she needs something from the grocery store? If you want something more gift-ish, maybe a movie you think she'd like? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-postpartum#post-591191 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 09:43:53 +0000 sorrycharlie 591191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>do you know if she's nursing? those soothie pads are a godsend! maybe easy reach snack food and a nice water bottle? I was always starving and thirsty..still am, actually, lol. gift card for takeout? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-postpartum#post-591177 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 09:40:20 +0000 regberadaisy 591177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I already forgot what the days following childbirth are like. :P</p> <p>A old coworker of mine is in labor right now.<br /> I might be visiting her soon at home. I want to bring something, what should I bring? Something for baby boy? Something for BFing mom? I know food would prob be appreciated but I barely have time to make our own meals! </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
