What to put in a "You’re Expecting" gift basket?

I just found out one of my close friends is expecting and I want to make her a gift basket. Since it’s going to be a while before we find out if she’s having a girl or boy I thought I could have the gifts be more for her pregnancy instead of the baby. Here are some of the things I thought I could out in the basket: A card, balloon, small spa set, a parenting magazine, a "What to Expect When You’re Expecting" book and a pregnancy journal. What are some other things I should include for her in the basket? I’m on a tight budget, but any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

For the new mother something to indulge herself with and relax! Scented bath oils, candles, chamomile tea. For the baby create a gift basket with receiving blankets, baby outfits, diaper cream, baby bath items, baby rattles, lullaby CD.

    Cocoa butter cream, a belly band (google it) maybe a gift certificate to get a pedicure and a massage (much needed towards the end of pregnancy) All of your other ideas are great! Good luck!

    Stretchy pajama pants, those bands from maternity stores you use over your jeans, a bath pillow, if you want to be funny a book on natural childbirth with pictures. I got one when I was pregnant and it really freaked me out.
