creative mothers days ideas for first time moms

My sister just had her first baby on Thursday and with mother's day right around the corner, I wanted to give her a creative mothers day gift. I know many people get mani/pedi gift certificates, but she doesnt usually go for those. Any ideas????

How about a nice mother/child statue? I know Lladro has a nice one. Or a mother/child pendant. I have this one -- I got the queen size and I wear it on a long chain (like 24") and I get so many compliments on it. I got it from momsjewelrybox.com. I didn't want one with the heart bottom or with a birthstone -- I just wanted this simple one and I LOVE it. If you don't want to do that, how about a Coach diaper bag (or a Vera Bradley if you don't want to spend as much as Coach would cost)?

Here is the pendant:

here is the diaper bag (it's really much bigger than it looks in this picture):

or, this is called the "Bowler Bag" which is nice for a smaller sized diaper bag:

A necklace with a pendant of her child's birthstone? A bouqet of flowers from the child's birth month?

COllage of pictures?

Photobook of his first days?

FIll out the start of his baby book?

Redenvelope has two cute keepsakes where mom can take imprints of baby's foot and/or foot prints and you can either put them in a frame or get the shadowbox
