Bought my BF some really lovely body lotion. She said a couple of times how much she appreciated it and the smell of the lotion reminds her of that lovely time.

Hand washing soap that smells amazing. Chocolate. A water bottle. A book - What To Expect: The First Year or similar. For the baby I would buy a couple of cloth/board books.

For baby:
muslins
dribble bibs
clothes in larger sizes (people only buy clothes for the first few months but you need them from like 9 months onwards really)
board books
nappies in slightly larger sizes

For me:
chocolate
a meal to reheat or a takeaway
a cosy dressing gown
Really nice moisturiser / bubble bath / shower gel so you feel a bit pampered
Vouchers for M&S
A basic food shop - bread, milk, butter etc so you don’t have to worry about that stuff
An eye mask / nice pjs
