Two close friends of mine & the hubs (the hubs and mine?) just had a baby today! We're planning on visiting them in the hospital tomorrow (she had a c-section, so they will be there for a couple of more days), and I was wondering what we should bring them, if anything at all. In the past, I've brought:

-chocolate covered strawberries (or other snacks)
-Jamba Juice for the new mom & dad
-Starbucks for the new mom & dad

I've heard that the following are bad/inconvenient:

-gifts for baby (just more crap they have to take home/takes up valuable hospital goodies/freebies space)
-flowers (allergies, pain in the ass to take home)
-balloons (PITA)

New moms or moms who had visitors at the hospital: do you have any recs? Trashy gossip magazines? Maybe a gift card to a local takeout place (so Dad can take care of the first few meals)? Or should I just bring well wishes?
