Gift basket ideas for 2nd time parents

My brother and SIL just gave birth to their 2nd baby last night. DH and I are stopping over at the hospital this afternoon to visit them and I'd like to bring them something. I want to put together a small gift basket with some stuff for the two of them. They pretty much have everything for the baby and my SIL is super prepared, so I don't think they need any blankets, bibs, onesies, etc. They're being discharged tomorrow, so they don't really need too much for the hospital stay at this point. Any ideas of what I can put together for them?

Diapers and wipes are always needed whether it be the first baby or the 8th!
Target gift card
Bottle of wine!
Someone gave us a nice bottle of champagne when DD was born and I loved that

I thought about the wine/champagne....that's not a bad idea.

Thank you all for the great ideas! I ended up putting together a little basket with a bottle of wine, some snacks, a nice baby blanket and cute knit teddy bear, and a target gift card.
