What to gift a new mom at the hospital besides baby clothes?

[Dassymomof2un2]

Hi! My SIL just had her 1st baby girl and I want bring her a gift to the hospital. I usually get baby clothes but she already has a lot. Any ideas? Did you get anything besides clothes?

Diapers are always welcome. I buy a larger size outfit. Like 3 to 6 months summer outfit. If the baby is big 6 to 9 month outfit for summer. I got too many newborn and 0 to 3 months stuff.

Buy something for her instead of for the baby. A nursing top, lotion, or something to make her life easier or help her relax.

A  nice pair of slipper or a robe is a good thing to get!

I'd make a small basket of stuff for her. Nipple cream if she's going to breast feed, a robe, slippers, a book, maybe a candle.

Something for her would be great. As stated, a nursing top, or just a comfy cute outfit to have at home. She won't be able to fit back into her regular clothes yet, won't want to wear maternity, and will have people stopping by and will want to look halfway descent. My sister bought me something cute to wear with each new baby. Just cotton pants and a tank or something.

A gift card to her favorite clothes store, buying those first post baby clothes are hard ( I wore my maternity for six months after I had my son cuz I was lazy, and more important, broke)

I usually give baby toys - like teething toys and rattles. Even if they have other kids, it's good for the new baby to have clean, new toys.

I received a disposable camera, for those unexpected photo opportunities and a nice gift basket of lotions, body  butter, note cards, small box with baby's name engraved (if you know the name ahead of time) - I knew I was having a girl and had her name all picked out.  The box was so i could put her little bracelet and any other momentos in it for her.

ANYTHING for 3-6, or 6-9 months. They will need these things and be like ummmmmmm.....
