You have a lot of great ideas already. :-) An idea came to mind about a basket, the kind that she can keep books or diapers in for the baby. Put the handmade blanket in there, (fleece is great for kids...when we were homeless someone made three for my kids and it kept them warm in the vehicle). Also, the gift card in the basket with maybe a mug and some hot chocolate and teas for her. I'm not sure how much money you can raise from the parents but a good book for any parent is a journal called I BELIEVE by Allan Stark. It allows the parent to start a personal journal for her children sharing the things she believes in from God to the best place to eat in town, favorite quotes and more.
