Bedrest gift basket ideas?

A friend of mine was admitted to the hospital and will (hopefully) be there at least a month before her baby needs to be born.  Some of my friends and I would like to take her a gift basket of stuff to keep her occupied.  We're thinking magazines and nice toiletries, but we'd like to include more than that.  Ideas please!

    Word searches, puzzles, silly little electronic games (think tetris) Books, if she has a dvd player in her room a dvd player (or can someone let her borrow one, dvds are free from the library) Food to snack (if she is allowed)

    Comfy sweatpants, socks/slippers depending on if she is allowed up to use the restroom or what not.

    Books, comfy jamma's, slippers, sugar free hard candies, lotions, water bottle, pens, notebook, things like that. :)

    Maybe a fun DVD set for her favorite TV show.

    Maybe one of those stand-alone air freshners (like a cute one from Bath and Body)...hospital rooms always smell yuck!

    Comfy PJ's are a must.

    My favorite thing were slipper socks that looked like mary- janes. They were comfortable enough to wear in bed, but looked like shoes when you had to get up to use the restroom or be wheeled down for an ultrasound. I got so many compliments on them :)

    Internet, magazines, food since hospital food sucks.

    Also, just recieving cards/flowers from people really brightened my day. I loved when I got a card from someone just telling me that they were thinking about me.

    Pillows and blankets are a positive too. I brought in my own pillows and a comfy warm blanket since the hospital's were starchy.

    Tolietries are a must as well. Also a table mirror so she can at least put on some make-up to feel pretty. I did my make-up everyday. It really made me feel like a person.

    HTH!
