What’s the loveliest present you’ve received as a new parent?

[Olderandboulder]

I’m very excited about the imminent arrival of my DS and his DP’s first baby. We are going to do the decent thing and stay away until they’re ready for visitors, but when we do go, I’d like to take something special for the new mum. She’s been so brilliant through quite a stressful pregnancy, and deserves something lovely. They’ve already got a stack of baby stuff from various friends and family, so I don’t want to add anything else to that.
Does anyone have anything, practical or frivolous, that they were given as a first time parent that really hit the spot? TIA

Oooh, great idea! I’m going to get one for my DIL while she’s heavily pregnant and can’t reach her feet!

COOK food vouchers from my workplace. Absolutely brilliant. They deliver prepared (but it's small batch, high quality, not over processed) frozen meals. You can then just whack them in the oven and your sorted. They do a new parent discount too as I think it's quite a popular new baby gift now.

My daughter had her first baby in December and I gave her a bottle of Clarins Eau Dynamisante to lift her spirits if she was feeling a bit low, such a beautiful fragrance

My DS got us a homemade frozen curry and a timekind voucher that we used on a house deep clean - best gifts ever!

Several someone made me a box of the most delicious millionaires shortbread for guests (we ate them ourselves), my best friend bought me a soft toy for baby, a soothing motion chair thingy and a Clarins shower gel for me, but got lots of lovely gifts for baby but someone else bought me a small thing for baby and a bottle of wine for me.
