Thoughtful gift for friend who is low

Just that really, I have a wonderful female friend (32) who is fantastic but feeling very down on herself and life in general. Any ideas for a cheerful/thoughtful (but not obvious or over the top) Xmas gift would be much appreciated.

She likes cooking, sport, yoga, travel if that helps!
