Girly, I am TOTALLY kidding, I hope you know that!
I don't envy you. Just the thought of driving to the Jersey shore on a nice summer day is stressful!
In terms of a gift...a gift card to Buy Buy Baby or a store like that is really helpful to new moms because they always need something that no one got them...plus there are tons of baby and children's clothes there.
If you want to "add" something to that, I small item, such as little silver bank or something like that is nice because they'll keep it forever. Someone gave my daughter a little "tooth fairy" box that we use everytime someone loses a tooth. She wil then have it for her children. My sone has a little Winnie-the-Pooh bank on his dresser that a dear friend gave him when he was born and he loves it.

So I say, A little "token" gift like that and a gift card. You'll be the best gift-giver there.
That's my 2 cents. Sorry if someone already had this idea. I haven't been reading excpet to PROCRASTINATE!!!
