Gift for poorly mum and newborn baby ? Any ideas please

My friend is recovering in hospital with her new little boy who was quite poorly when born as well as mum. Just after any suggestions of any thoughtful gifts I could send to her while she's in hospital? She's likely to be in there another week so just wanted to send something to show I'm thinking of them both. Thank you :)

What about a nice little personalised blanket or cardigan for baby and a basket of goodies for her.. face mask, some nice wipes, cleanser, favourite chocolate etc

Maybe something nice to eat that you know she'll enjoy? A perk after hospital food!

A fruit platter, but I'd maybe put it into a cool bag or something with a lid which can be resealed rather than the supermarket ones you peal open with no way to reseal it.

Or an insulated bottle to keep her water cold that can later be used for tea / coffee at home.

Interested in this thread?

Not chocolate hospitals are too hot for it.

Really nice pyjamas and a good book for mum, I loved the books gifted to mine when born too, especially if the givers favourite or written in with a message for baby

Magazines that she can flick through, some nice snacky food, maybe some posh cordial or other drinks you know she likes.

Hand cream
pyjamas
book
journal and pen

Be of those lovely muslins for baby or a little soft you to go in his cot and then travel back to his home

For friend a swell or chilly bottle to keep drinks hot or cold, refreshing wipes, a Costa card if she is able to move easily and there's a Costa in the hospital,
