If you are doing a basket, some burp cloths are great. also, for diaper rash--Bordeaux Butt Paste. it's the ABSOLUTE best. not sure of the spelling. My Mo only had one diaper rash (lasted a month, ugh!) but fresh air and butt paste cleared it up.
Coupons for laundry, dinner, etc. are always appreciated (if you think she would use them). I had friends give me coupons and they were a lifesaver after my Mom went back home.
