My DH is traveling for work and will be meeting up with friends who are 11-12 weeks pregnant. They sadly lost their baby at birth just over a year ago and they suffered a miscarriage earlier this year. He asked me to pick up a gift but I'm not sure what to get. Any suggestions?

I would stay away from baby gifts. Maybe something edible, or is there something good from your local town that you could bring them that's popular?

@artbee: thanks artbee. They're originally from our area before they moved out west. I can't think of any special foods but I completely agree to avoid baby-related items. I'm racking my brain and I can't come up with anything!
-
Do they have special interests like cooking or movies, etc?
-
Sometimes just some nice fresh flowers are a nice simple gift. It brightens up a home (even for a short period).

@aprk: I'm not sure! I would love to get them one of our favourite cookbooks or something but I don't know if they'd like it. Would a gift card to a restaurant, book store or meal preparation service be too impersonal?
@Thehistoryofus: I think fresh flowers or a nice houseplant would be great but that would require DH to pick something up and I don't think he'd have time. I could arrange for delivery though...

@Sammyfab: hmm, I keep thinking of a gift basket or something that wouldn't necessarily be easy to travel with. A gift card to a restaurant or tickets to an event are always thoughtful.
Agree with pp that flowers or something from hometown would be nice as well.
