New mum gift

One of my closest friends has just gave birth (first time mum) to a lovely boy. I know she’s struggling a bit with EBF, tiredness and hormones, saying she’s failing etc. (which I keep reassuring her are perfectly normal feelings and she’s doing a bloody brilliant job). I’ve got gifts for her DS when she’s feeling up for me visiting but I went to send her (and her partner) and little few gifts to try and help them out.
Is there anything you recommend I could send them as a gift? I’m on a bit of a budget as I’m unemployed at the moment but £50 could probably be spent. If there is anything you think would be helpful to them, around the house or to their general sanity?
Thanks

I felt very much like your friend and my sister got me a hamper...basically a big basket with lots of stuff that you can pick up for next to nothing, For example there was coffee, milk, honey (we use that instead of sugar) baby milk, pyjama pants, wipes, nappies, bread, some soups in a pouch which I love, some muslin cloths, some wax melts, sweets, chocolate,popcorn, my favourite wash powder products, a face mask....some other bits. It all seemed very random but was all appreciated especially the wash powder considering there was so much washing my house smelt amazing. You could adapt to your friends favourite things but I loved mine and can't wait to return the favour to my sister in February

Thank you that's helpful. I was thinking something along those lines :)

Honestly the things I liked the most were champagne, wine, chocolate. Then I don’t like things that clutter up my home, you get enough of that with all a baby requires
