My wife and I are expecting our first child any day and I want to get her something after she delivers. I already plan to do the flowers and card, I just need some ideas of what to get her to celebrate. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gobbler
If she enjoys wine.. it’s probably been a few months 
Congrats …exciting time 
and waiting…

She won’t be able to enjoy that if she is feeding the child as she would have to do the old pump and dump. Ah shoot, I think I just lost my man card for knowing that.

Depending on how the delivery went she may appreciate a vasectomy. 
What about something from Bath and Body Works or a Teddy from Victoria Secret? Either way, you both win
Has she been craving any food but couldn’t have it while pregnant?
My wife really wanted a Subway sandwich. That one was pretty easy for me to score.
I know food doesn’t seem like much, but it was for my wife after craving it for 9 months.
Get ready for sleep deprivation, dirty diapers (don’t worry they don’t REALLY stink until they are 1 or so) and a new hunting/fishing partner!
Good luck and congrats!!
About a $40 box of assorted very fine chocolates, very few women can refuse that offer. If she says anything about loosing weight just say thats why I bought these, as in it doesn’t matter, that will make her feel good and it will tell her you want her to be comfortable and don’t worry about the weight….and you might get to go hunting again.

Depending on what your goal is for this gift I can think of 2 options. If you want her to feel great and pampered a pair of diamond earings will always accomplish that. If you want something practical to make her feel comfortable and at ease when she returns home, pay a professional to clean the house and make it nice. Carpets, furniture, everything! Good luck and congratulations.
A 1 hour coupon of Ricco lovin’. Then again, you may want to think about that surgical procedure.
jk bro.. I’d spring for some type of spa treatment. massage, nails, etc. Go all out. The mothers don’t exactly feel the prettiest after 10 months of that and a couple more of recovery. She will appreciate some pampering time after her recovery time.
You know your wife the best on she’ll respond to a particular gift…but as stated above and my wife was no exception – They feel fat and ugly. I did up a series of gifts spread out over a few months after each of my daughters were born. Pampering and relaxing was the ticket for my wife. Though, almost 17 years later, she still brings up the dinner I made her the day I brought her and our first baby home. Just a simple roast, taters, carrots, mushrooms, light gravy, and a few candles….all made while she (on and off) slept all afternoon. It was first moment of really being at home and accepting “Holy crap, we’re parents” BTW sexiest my wife looked besides our wedding. I knew my wife had to have kids to make her life complete. That level of satisfaction, relief, accomplishment, and all the other emotions she was experiencing gave her a “look” that I’ll cherrish for the rest of my life.
Let her sleep as much as possible. The best gift you can give a new mother is sleep. Keep the house clean, laundry done etc… If she is breast feeding, get up with her. Change the diapers, help with burping etc…
Take care of everything you possibly can. Let her sleep as much as possible and let her know how amazing she is. Every little thing you can do to help at any hour of the day or night will go a long way.
Good advise all the way along, the only thing I have to add is to wait for a month or two until she is wore out, dead tired and then spring for one of the things mentioned.
I know when my kids were little the house looked like it had blown up because picking up was the last thing we wanted to do. A maid service would have been great!
A nice mother and child pendant is what I gave my wife on the birth of our daughter. She wears it almost everyday for the last 8+ years. You can find them in a wide range of prices.
Nice thought Buck Wacker. There are also some very nice mother/child statues out there that you could give her. Here’s a couple examples.
