Present for New Parents

Hello Ladies,

I know that this might not be the right board to post this on, but it gets a lot of action.

One of my very good friends that lives in Ohio just had a baby. I would like to send a present and am not sure about what to do. I had thought about giving her a gift certificate to a take out restaurant, but do I also get the baby a seperate gift? I know that we will be going to the christening (which would obviously require a gift for the baby).

Any mothers out there have any suggestions on what you would have liked to receive those first couple of weeks after the baby was born?

Thanks in advance for your help!
