At my shower for DS1, someone got him a little tote bag with "Going to Grandma's" monogrammed on the front. It was really cute (and he still uses it), and as he was my mom's first grandchild, she really appreciated it. Might get some brownie points with your boss.
On a practical level though, I'd go with the Miracle Blanket. Those things are worth their weight in gold, and people often feel like $30 is too much to spend on a blanket, so they won't buy one for themselves.

The biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make...I did not live in the moment enough. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less. - Anna Quindlen
