[quote=Anonymous]A couple in our neighborhood just had their first child a few weeks ago.  We don't know them very well but have always had nice conversations when we see them while out walking or at the pool and they have always been very friendly to our children.  I ran into her today in the neighborhood and we had a brief chat about the new baby, saw pictures etc.  She seemed like any new mom, tired and overwhelmed, and had a bunch of questions.  She also mentioned that she didn't have any friends with kids in the area and that she had been struggling with some PPD symptoms.

I would love to do something for her and her husband to congratulate them on their growing family and provide a bit of encouragement because I know how tough those first few months can be.  I found out their last name online and am trying to figure out if it would be weird to send them a small gift or card?  The other option would be to go to their home in person to drop off a meal of gift, but I'm also wary of intruding at the wrong time, waking the baby, etc.  Any ideas for a gift or gesture that would be appropriate in this situation?  TIA![/quote]
