What to get a 2nd time mama.....

having another girl and has EVERYTHING. My step-SIL is going in for a scheduled c-section on Monday. She seriously has EVERYTHING (they kind of have a lot of money) and doesn't need anything.

She doesn't cook - so I thought about doing a dinner's ready sort of thing for her.  Here's the kicker, they live in the Bay area and I can't seem to find any "Dinner Delivery" type places.

HELP!

  • That was my situation too when I had DD#2.  The absolute best gift I got was from co-workers: a gift certificate to come have Merry Maids clean my house.  It was awesome.  It's not cheap so it is better as a group gift but it was absolutely wonderful!

  • We ate out a lot when both babies were first born. I think any type of food GC is a good idea! There are a few places like Red Robin where you can get it to go too, if they like that sort of thing.

  • A spa gift certificate maybe?   or a cleaning service is a great idea too.

    I'd say something for her, and then you can always do a cute little hat or animal or something small for the baby.  I like to give the older sibling a little gift too - like a puzzle or something else they can do on their own.   Ben got this book that was like a little scrapbook about him becoming a big brother.  It was so cute, and yet we have never filled it in, but I thought it was a good gift.  If you're interested in that at all page me and I'll go figure out what it was called.

  • My first thought was the house cleaning certificate, but you said they're pretty well off so maybe they already have a house cleaning already.

    What about a cute "In Case of a Mommy Emergency" kit for her, and fill it with things that a stressed out mommy might want after a hard day?  Maybe some bath products, a relaxing CD, chocolates, a couple classic chick flicks on DVD?  Maybe a gift certificate for Pizza Hut so she can order in an easy dinner for the family when she's tired and doesn't want to cook?

    Or maybe a necklace with both of her kid's birthstones?  If she has the names picked out you can get one of those stamped necklaces from Etsy with both her kiddo's names on it?
