Gift for a new mom that isn't about the baby

My very cool sister-in-law is pregnant and due early next year. This will be their 2nd kid (my nephew is 3). My husband and I will definitely get them some fun baby stuff, but I would also like to get something for my sister-in-law that is just for HER. Like, for her as a person, separate from her as a mom. Ideally this would be something that'll make her life a little easier/cozier/brighter, but... I'm kinda stumped!

In theory this is the perfect time for a manicure/spa/massage gift card, but I'm wary of any experience-type stuff just because I don't see her having much of an opportunity to use it (their life is pretty busy and nutty right now even without an infant and toddler in the mix).

She's a pretty low-key, low-maintenance person, so I don't think something like fancy skincare would really appeal to her. Something like fancy candles and the world's most comfortable robe might be a better bet, but I feel like I can do better than that. (Though, if you do happen to know about the world's most comfortable robe, please share!)

She's into running and yoga, and is an extremely talented artist. I know she's a reader, but I'm not sure what genres she favors. They're not big drinkers, so infinite wine is out.

I just feel like there must be whole categories I'm missing here. I've tried googling about it, but of course all the lists out there are stuff like "a baby sling so you can literally never put your baby down, have fun!" or like, mugs that say TIRED MOMMY NEEDS HER COFFEE on them or whatever, which is... not what I'm after.

Oh, and we're probably doing the meal subscription box thing (which we know they use) for Christmas.
