What to give a coworker who's been fired?

I have been asked to buy the "farewell" gift for one of my co-workers. I've worked at that company for a little over a year & tho I like this person I don't know her that well. I do know that since I started she's been temporarily laid off once before but this time she's been "permanently" laid off. We're all very angry about this. Anyway no one really has suggestions at the office, we're losing 3 other employees in the same week so I think everyone is too emotional to give me a suggestion. I was thinking of giving her a gift basket made up with some candles, nice teas, spa/bath stuff & a few little wines. Is this kind of thing appropriate? My motivation is to give her something that will help her relax and pamper herself. Anyone else have any suggestions? PS- this present will be opened in front of everyone (no pressure right) and most of the staff has chipped in so its not all my money but I'm pitching in a bit extra to make it special.

Sounds very nice to me. Lots of thought and if they do not like it, let someone else do it next time.
