Help with food hamper for elderly relative

I have a relative who lives alone and is struggling financially. I’m in a position to help but she’d be mortified if I, for example, sent vouchers. So the best idea I’ve come up with is to try and send a food hamper that provides a wide variety of goods that can see her through for a bit. So, some Xmas luxury bits but it can’t all be that. All ideas especially of suppliers welcome!

I don’t have anyone I can reasonably ask for ideas on what she needs and while I know I can ‘build my own delivery’ through a supermarket it needs to look like a Xmas gift and not like charity - I’m not a close relative, just fortunate enough to be able to help. What can I say, families are complex <thumps forehead>

HELP! Budget £75-£100 but can flex for something great.

I would just get s shop delivered rather than a hamper, full of non perishables. Tinned meats, pies. Tinned veg, soups , biscuits, cereals. Coffee, tea , sugar, shampoo, through in some chese and crackers with pickle
