What is a nice gift to mail to a friend who has cancer?

My friend, sadly, has cancer. She is so young (in her twenties). What are nice ideas for gifts I can get her? (Keep in mind that I'll be mailing the gift since she lives far away, i.e., it can't be a fresh basket of fruits, etc.). Also, what are ways in which I can show support?
--------------------
It depends on how much money you would like to spend . . any technology gift such as a Kindle or Ipod would be welcome . . laptop of course (maybe too expensive but she might appreciate software or a computer game). If you are watching your pocket than you might consider sending a nice warm and pretty quilt or blanket to wrap up in. Other things she might appreciate at this time . . scarves, fuzzy socks, big soft sweater, her own mug or water thermos she can refill . . a carry bag filled with items she might need in the hospital such as lip balm, lotion, toothbrush, toothpaste, throat lozenges, pad of paper, pen, crossword puzzles, and maybe small snacks. You can show support by just being her friend . . treating her the same way you have always treated her. Call her. Send email. Send cards. Just be her friend.
