Gift idea (needed for next week)

Last year I reconnected with someone I knew 30 years ago. Unfortunately lockdown happened and February last year was the only time we met in person.
I was diagnosed with cancer in January and she has been a great support through messenger. Upbeat chats etc.
Next week we are going for a coffee and I'd like to give a gift to say thanks for her helping me get through the treatment.
I don't know her tastes except she likes chocolate and walking. Don't know what perfume she wears or what her house is like.
Give me some ideas please.

I don't know how much you want to spend but Tony's Chocoloney is delicious (Sainsbury's or Morrisons). Or Monty Bojangles truffles.

I'd you want to spend more then a gift subscription for flowers would be lovely, or JL vouchers, or something walking-related - one of those foldable seat mats for taking out with you is really handy, plus a Contigo-type leakproof mug?

Flowers are a nice idea
Chocolates - Charbonnel et Walker

Does she wear jewellery? Something like a classic, simple pendant or some stud earrings, if her style, could be nice and something for her to keep

Again a lot depends on what your budget is

Great quality chocolate would be perfect!

Bit of the wrong time of year, but a luxurious and warm pair of gloves that would be good for walking?

I also think it's hard to go wrong with something like Ren Moroccan rose bath oil.

Nice soft scarf for walking?
Walking socks?
Less personal, but a voucher for an outdoorsy shop?

Not for the meet-up, but next time...
When you meet this time, take some nice pictures of you together.
Print a good one and write a proper thank you message on the back.
