Most moms would love a nice relaxing bath.
5. Unique Wine Glasses for Mom to Be

How about making her a meal so she has one less thing to do when she brings the baby home. You could make a pan of lasagna in an extra pan like this and tell her to keep the pan.
Tea can be soothing and nursing moms need to stay hydrated.
These are a nice treat for any new mom.
