Oh yeh! My BIL and sil bought us a bunch of groceries a few days after ds2 was born, milk, juice, bread, fruit, snacks, basic staples and stuff. It was very unexpected and very appreciated!
This is true about fresh food. My go-to gift for interstate people has become a home delivered box of organic fruit and nibbles (nuts, chocolate etc) as soon as possible. I called an organic place in the city where my sister lived as soon as she called me after the birth of her baby and they delivered it within the next couple of hours... the first thing she ate post-birth ended up being one of my delivered organic bananas
Just wanted to add that I really appreciated when people bought something for the kids especially, like cut up fruit and vege sticks and cooked sausages or sausage rolls or mini quiche etc. So that they could eat something healthy easily for lunch. I'm alright with me eating weetbix for lunch, but I'd feel guilty that the kids weren't getting enough veg.
