Bottles of lotion and baby oil;

A few sturdy bibs;
A few sleepers;
A receiving blanket;

To add a little extra you could put together for mom:
Lotions;
Bath salts;
Pretty soaps;
Candles;
A few books;
Coupon holder with coupons in it. (Moms love these! ; )

Or try a small basket of:
Baby oil;
Baby bath wash;
A washcloth;
A rubber Duck;
