What about things that could help with her self care? Bubble bath products. Spa gift card to get her nails done. Salon visit. Eye mask for sleep. Something to help her get her hair done quicker - claws and clips and headbands for our messy mom bun.
Okay not a gift to open but maybe gift her a makeover at JCPenney or somewhere and a Sephora gift card she can pick out some makeup and products. Or a self care basket include things like chocolates face mask bath or Epson salts. Slippers, a candle.
A gift certificate for a float spa.
Wow! These are all great ideas! Thank you everyone!
I would have loved a batch (or frozen dough) of lactation cookies. Make sure you know if she’s eliminating any allergens like dairy. It’s so hard to get out of the house during that phase to use anything like massages, pedicures, etc. Maybe a cleaning service?
