Omaha Steaks Meals
christadiserio said: After having my first baby, my sister-in-law and family sent us Omaha Steaks meals. This is such a thoughtful idea for a family with a newborn baby. With all of the chaos that comes in the first few weeks after having a baby, coupled with little sleep, the fact is that there's very little time or energy left to cook.
Omaha Steaks is popular for steaks & seafood, but also great for oven-ready or skillet meals. Most of the meals require little to no work at all. I even saved a few meals for when I returned to work and they were lifesavers.

Weighted Blanket
Kelly R said: We all know how good the gentle hug of a swaddle can be for new babies, but what about new moms? Give her a weighted blanket to promote relaxation and restful sleep. This one has a machine washable cover, which is a must for homes with kids.

Solly Wrap
Sarah Calamita said: A wrap is a great gift that any mom would love! The solly wrap is lightweight, buttery soft and breathable. Newborns will love being snuggled against their mom (or dad!) in this wrap. Wraps reduce infant crying and gas. Bonus - the colors are just too cute!
