Parents- can you help me with a new mom gift?

A coworker of mine a had a baby last month I had gotten her crib sheets & blankets for her shower, which I couldn't attend.

Now the the baby is here, I want to send something to her house, but I was thinking soemthing for her, not the babay.

I was thinking a basket of coffe related items, since she is a big coffee drinker. Would she still be cutting back, if she is nursing though?

Any other ideas?

Did she drink coffee during pregnancy? If so, she probably hasn't changed now for nursing. Some coffee is allowed.

She said she was having a half a cup a day.

Hmmm then I'd probably go with a different gift, since she probably is denying herself desired coffee!

Can you find out a good night and send her a nice delivered dinner? I bet she isn't cooking very much, so an extra yummy meal that is no work for her would be appreciated!

I would go with a dinner or if you know where she gets her nails or hair done get her a GC to that place. Once she's able to get out of the house she'll appreciate it. Someone gave me a GC to have my hair done. I went about a month after delivery and it felt soooooo good.
