It's easy to forget about gifts for mom when everything baby is adorable and cute, but something thoughtful for mom goes a long way. There are many things that you could gift mom with that would be fun but useless, and in our opinion no one needs crap from crapcity.
Things that are nice to get include new pyjamas and slippers (let's face it, you'll be stuck in the house a lot), a magazine subscription to something easy-read like People, US or Hello, even a great book of short stories.
We're big fans of supporting breastfeeding, so gift certificates for nursing bras or tops is great. Nursing pads and lanolin nipple ointment also are great and needed.
Offering up time once the baby is born so that mom can get her nails done, a hair cut or a massage is awesome. It's hard to do these things while holding your baby. Of course you gave her a gift certificate for these things too.
Give your gift in a nice storage container that can be used for toys or clothes. There's a great toy box from Ikea that we LOVE http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30079407, it looks like a red treasure chest.
Remember: Thinking about mom will help her not go insane.
