Gifts for my sister-in-law

My brother and his girlfriend are having a baby soon and I’d like to give them a little hospital gift basket. I’ve had 3 kids and I feel like a little pampering and self care after delivery always makes me feel better. I don’t want to do the boring pads and typical stuff they give you in the hospital already, I’m thinking more skincare, shower luxuries, treats type stuff. She keeps her hair in braids so I’m not sure what type of hair products if any I could get her? I’d love any suggestions on products or ideas or hearing what you did/someone gave you after birth that you enjoyed.

DMing for beginner

Salutations,
I want to do something for my husband for our 9 year wedding anniversary so I was thinking of DMing a Dnd game for him. He loves to play, it’s not really my thing but he always asks me to. I have played with him in the past and now with three young kids, if I have free time, I’d rather do something else… But he is hard to buy for (not picky, just has everything he wants) and I think he’d really love and appreciate something like this. Our anniversary is around Christmas so I want to get started on my plan so I have plenty of time to learn what to do and make some things.
I have a loose grasp on the game, and we have some of the books but I’d like some guidance and/or resources on how to DM for a beginner. I would invite his normal group (bestfriend, cousin, and my sister) and maybe some of my siblings if they’re in town for Christmas to play. I don’t think they’re sticklers for the rules but I don’t know for sure. I could probably have them build characters before but how could I get his character done before? Not sure if its necessary but I know he always likes it done before they all plan to play.
My plan is to set a date and invite everyone (keep it on the dl so he thinks its just us for our anniversary), get a babysitter, get snacks and make a nice meal, maybe decorate, and surprise him with it all. I plan to make a map (I’ve drawn some for them in the past) and set up a “world”(?) and game. Obviously I have to learn how to DM for all this to work. If I’m missing something for my plan to work, please let me know.
Also is dnd always set in a medieval kind of world? My husband is really into that, I’d be more into a wild west, star wars, or maybe even harry potter kinda universe but I’m not sure thats allowed? He might be into a Marvel universe too but I’m not sure I could do that. If it has to be medieval, which I’ll probably do since he likes that best, I might do an adventure time kinda style (they like to be ridiculous and funny).
Any help would be appreciated! I have no idea what I’m doing
