My good friend just had her baby last night and I am going to go see her and her new little girl this afternoon. What is something I can bring to her at the hospital, other than flowers since Valentines is tomorrow. What is something I can get for her, not the baby (I already have something for baby)?

If she is breastfeeding, a nursing gown would be wonderful.
A great book. If she is a new mom....... Chicken soup for a new moms soul would be great.
A boppy.
Her favorite lotion, adult smell.
A new movie, for when she is up in the middle of the night.
Hope something helps.

Flowers this time of the year are overpriced and under quality, so here's a great idea: Go to Bath and Body (or evenTraget or Walmart)and pick up some bath crystals, some matching lotion, a pumice stone, red (or pink) nail polish, and a few tea bags and a couple of pieces of candy and make it into a great "getaway" basket. You can literally put them in a basket (also at walmart) or just in a nice gift bag with tissue. She will really use it and thank you from the bottom of her heart.

Love these answers you got some good ones. I love the meals idea,massage or something personal for her it's always for the baby. Depending on how close oyu are and what oyu want ot spend.
My favorite gift was a memory book not a baby book but its called A Mothers Memories to her Child. It is something she will have when I'm gone.

New moms often recieve gifts for baby, maybe she would like a shampoo gift set, make-up gift certifiate from Sephora, a gitft certificate for a massage, or better yet a card from you saying you'll babysit whenever she's ready for a night out alone with hubby or partner. As a mom myself I would of loved that ! Good Luck

One of my friends arranged for meals to be provided for my family for a month so that I could go home with the baby and not have to stress about cooking dinner. Every day there was either a meal frozen in the freezer or one was dropped off. All of my friends alternated days and it was great! She took it upon herself to remind people of their dates and we've turned it into a gift we all give to each other whenever a new baby is born. It was by far the best gift I received!

A gift certificate to a massage for her and the baby. Check with your local hospital or midwifery clinic they always have names available.

well my mother just had a baby in January. i think a good gift for the mother would be something like clothes or something for the baby so she doesn't have to go to the store to get anything. trust me i know!

I just bought my best friend a beautiful sterling silver necklace from www.mommasjewels.com. These are the coolest necklaces I have seen, they have a teething ring built in, but you would never know it (they are beautiful!!!). My friend and her baby absolutely love it. I didn't even know anything like this existed until I saw it on a website call coolmompicks. You can't miss with this.
