Parents, what is the item that was most useful to you with a new baby?

A friend of ours had a baby girl yesterday, we will probably go see her today or tomorrow. I thought that I would take a little gift basket to her, which already has a blanket, sheet, some "lively links" and a couple toys that make noise when you squeeze them. I know she probably won't care about the noise makers for a while, but they were cute. There is a little room left in the basket, and there is also a shower planned for sometime in the near future. So... as a new parent, what is the one thing that you were most grateful to have?

I did foster care and never had newborns, but was a new parent many times.. Here are a few suggestions she might like. Diapers/wipes and such. Or a gift card to like Target Amazon or toys r us so she can get something she needs.. (stuff I am still happy to get with my 5 boys!!!) If she reads, some good books so she will take some ME time instead of all Baby time which will wear her our even more!! For her some bubble bath salts to relax with while her hubby watches the baby for a little while. I got these for a good friend of mine and her husband, my old fishing buddy, called me a few weeks later and wanted to know where to get more, as that was a perfect thing to help his wife unwind and be more human as he put it. And extra memory card for their digital camera, as they will take a TON of pictures now!!! And maybe a book on how to take better pictures so more of them will look better and be in focus... :) Now some funny ideas that are very helpful and she will get a laugh out of hearing about and later realize how right they were... A roll of duct tape.. It has a LOT of uses... Including keeping kids in 1 place and better behaved. At least threating them with it helps too. A good stiff shot of brandy to help her sleep when she needs it!!! Ear Plugs.... sleeping pills to get sleep, or maybe that will help the kids sleep better... You think it but would never give it to them.... headphones, to listen to the music and not hear the kids arguing and shouting!!! Flyers for summer camps and boarding schools...... Hope all is well and that they enjoy the new addition to the family!!!
