Gift for mum to be

My lovely friend is about a month away from her due date, it's her first. I won't see her beforehand and thought it would be nice to send her a box of goodies/useful stuff for her once baby arrives.

Of course we will see her once the baby is here and its convenient, and will take a baby gift then. I'm thinking about all the little things I ended up needing with my first, that you just don't think about beforehand! Thoughts so far....

Arnica tablets
Lavender oil for bath
Witch hazel
Lansinoh cream
Chocolates!
Mini bottle of wine
I thought about the liquid iron stuff (can't remember the name)... was a godsend instead of the hideous iron tablets I was discharged with...

But then I'm stumped... any ideas? Anything foody seems a good idea but needs to be posted, which means nothing needing refrigerating!

I would get an ASDA/Tesco or where ever they shop delivered to them, ask them to create an account and put things they need in a basket and you can checkout for them ... we didn't even think of food and ran out of bread and jam and butter as all we ate the first week was toast, so some nice microwave meals ect would be good (but if they log on they can choose the brands they like ect)
Is the mother breastfeeding? Maybe a little hamper with:
Water bottle, chocolate, nail file, llianolin cream, lip butter, coffee travel mug, in a little poratable tub that can be easily taken around (and if it fits TV and Sky remote and her phone that would be awesome) the amounts of tomes I was feeding and the TV went into standby Angry

A thermos mug was one of my most useful things. Actually my daughter's seven months old and I still use it now. It's the only way I could drink a cup of coffee while it was still hot!
