Gift for couple expecting 2nd baby at Christmas

I'm getting a gift for a couple that are expecting a baby on Christmas Day ( Shock). They will have a 19 month old as well. I'd like to get them something really useful for parents with 2 under 2, budget about £80-£100 ... now I actually was in this position myself a few years back, so you'd think I'd have loads of ideas, but I'm coming up with nothing ! I'll already be giving them our Ergobaby 360 carrier which was a lifesaver at the time.
Anyone inspired ?

Voucher for Cook if there is one nearby, lovely food, better than the usual ready meals.

Booking a cleaner or ironing service if that's required.

A friend had a "feeding" chest for the older child. Toys and books which only came out when the baby needed feeding so the older one had something special to do/play while the mum had no time. She rotated the content on a regular basis so the child never really knew what was in there,

Homemade mince pies
The offer to babysit their DC1/take them to the park
Vouchers for some kind of naice ready meal service/Just Eat
Vouchers for Netflix if they don't already have it.

Vouchers for a take-away shop.
Or actually I'd have loved somebody to bring me some lovely food to bung in the oven when I got home.

Some assistance with videoing DC1 opening gifts if they (or mum) is in hospital with DC2. Although for a child so young you could "move" Christmas to a suitable date so help with that.

she may have to have a section (she did on her first) so we're hoping they are actually home for christmas day, but you're right DC1 won't know any different :)
I'll definitely think about the food thing, though several people did that for her first and may do so again

Annual pass for a local attraction - she will get lots of use out of it on Maternity Leave and I always loved having somewhere ('free') to go for a couple of hours...
