I am looking for some help for suggestions for a special gift or something I can do for my niece who recently had her first child. She had an emergency c- section and my great niece was born a month early. Mom is doing OK but baby has several issues and is in the NICU. My niece & her husband make multiple trips daily.
I really would like to do something for my niece. We live at opposite ends of the country. I have sent things for baby already. Wanted something more than flowers. I appreciate any and all suggestions.

 

@januarybaby   I've sent "Just For Me" baskets...lotions, bath salts, maybe a turbie twist hair towel, etc. Anything that brings some relaxtion and makes her feel special. If you contact a gift shop in her area (Google helps), sometimes they do put those gift baskets together for you.

I wouldn't go with a meal plan.  You don't know what their eating habits are.

 

Get a generic gift card.  They will probably be eating on the go, catch as they can, and could probably use a gift card at the hospital cafe.
