My friend had a baby today at 32 weeks.  Her baby is in hospital 1.5 hours away from where she lives.  I would like to get her put a basket of a little something together to send up with my parents this weekend, as they are heading to a concert up there.  Any ideas of what to send for her??  Any ideas would help.

    I had my baby close to 31 weeks.  We got some gerber onesies (they size small), blanket and socks as a gift after baby was born. 

    Did she have a baby registry?  It was always flattering to me when someone bought from my registry or gave me gift cards to stores that I liked. 

    I had one guy from my work give me $20, and I used it to go to Babies R Us and buy some cute newborn clothes for my baby--it was fun to pick out his baby clothes. 

    Baby essentials-diapers, wipes with a gift receipt for when baby comes home. 

    It would have been nice to get gift card to Starbucks or some other place to eat.  It takes a lot of time to coordinate daily hospital visit for your baby. 

    My church group put together healthy snacks and food from Whole Foods Market--I just loved that--I was pumping so I needed more calories.

    A gas card for her commute to and from the hospital.

    GCs to restaurants en route so that she doesn't always have to eat hospital food.

    A nice basket of snacks.

    A GC to have a cleaning service or laundry service come to her house.
