Gift help please!

Hi guys, OK so I have bought my hubby 2 things which I need a little help with please :)

Firstly for his 30th (on Christmas Eve bless him) I have bought tickets to London for NYE, with a 5* hotel (Laterooms ahem!!) and am looking to book a (reasonable!) table for dinner. The idea is we can watch the NYE fireworks as the hotel is about 10 mins from the London Eye.

I am not sure how to wrap/present this though - I have access to a printer and laminator at work...maybe I should print it and attach it to a helium 30 balloon?? Or a cake or something??

Secondly, as I am 6 months pregnant now, I've put together a gift from the baby, I've wrapped a box in silver wrapping paper and filled with silver tissue paper, and put in, so far:

'I love my Daddy' bib
3 x mini chocolate boxes (Poundland size)
A little elephant finget puppet he will love (hubby...not baby, we don't know what 'flavour' the baby is!)
Baby Maintainance Book
Me & My Daddy photo frame
A keyring with scan pic in it
4 x pairs of jazzy socks (thanks to ASOS £10 code haha)

...and I have some lovely clear spotted cello to wrap it in. But it looks a bit sparse and I wanted to add a few more bits (he is 30 after all :) ) So I thought:

I love Daddy babygro (but having a nightmare time finding one in stock online, not keen on the ebay printed ones)
I can't put in joke things like red bull or pro plus as he has high blood pressure, don't want to kill him!!
I love Daddy socks for baby (but again, proving a nightmare to find!!)
Ear plugs

..can anyone think of anything else?
