Gift idea for neighbor with new baby

in Pregnant after a Loss

The couple that lives upstairs from us (we're in a 3 flat) just recently had a baby girl and returned home.  I was originally going to cook a meal or bake something because I don't want a big gift that they'll feel they'll have to return when we have ours but wanted to do a little something nice.  However, now I'm on bedrest and DH has plenty of responsibilities so I don't want to add more for him.  We have a CVS next door so would it be a nice gift to have DH buy a box of chocolates or something next time he's there or do you have any better but still easy ideas?

 Thanks!

    What about a gift card to CVS for diapers?  Or a package of diapers?  Or a gift card to a local take out restaurant?  Or a bag of coffee from a good coffee shop...or a bottle of wine?  And obviously, a card.

    Thanks, we can get any of this there.  I wasn't coming up with anything good because I was stuck on the food idea.

    Anything a new mom can grab and eat without having to prepare it would definitely be welcome.  I lived for weeks after DS on granola bars, fiberone bars, apple sauce, cheese sticks, pb crackers, etc... The box of chocolates you mentioned would be great, too.

    I second the diapers/wipes suggestion.  She'll be using them quicker than she ever imagined...

    Also, Amazon can bring anything to your door.  Would be great if you need to shop while on bedrest.

    BFP#2 2.5.11 (EDD 10.15.11) DS born 9.28.11

    BFP#4 8.27.13 (EDD 5.6.14) DD born 4.23.14

    How about a giftcard to someplace that either has takeout of delivers? I always get my new mom friends an Applesbee's giftcard so they can get carside to go.

    yes, order a box of diapers from amazon and call it a day. Or have your DH pick up a frozen lasagna or take out for them.

    Get one of those fruit flowers bouquet. They will deliver them. And just order the baby a cute outfit online or something. Even a babies r us gift card would be nice.

    Mini muffins! My friend brought me those when I had DS and they were great. You can just pop them in your mouth. Quick easy snack.
