Some things that I gave to my friend, who just had a year of chemo, that she liked best (whilst she was in hosp heaps and stuff) was preggy pops (because nausea/vomiting is a major side effect of most chemo) and these soft slipper/sock things that she could wear around the house/hospital as well as in bed.

The vouchers for babysitting/meals/housework etc would be very valuable.

But initially your support and time and hugs are most important... write a nice supportive note or something that she can look at when she needs a pick-me-up. My friend likes reading through cards/letters and looking at photos that she has all around her of friends/family.]]> Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:30:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30588&PID=876069&title=a-good-present-to-cheer-my-friend-up#876069 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30588&PID=875340&title=a-good-present-to-cheer-my-friend-up#875340 Author: clover

I don't think you need to buy a material gift, just your time, a thoughtful card and listening to her will be all she needs.]]> Mon, 21 Dec 2009 13:40:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30588&PID=875340&title=a-good-present-to-cheer-my-friend-up#875340 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30588&PID=875317&title=a-good-present-to-cheer-my-friend-up#875317 Author: nicolaann

I love hunnybunny's voucher idea!! Only other thing I thought of was a nice card, just letting her know you are there for her. She is lucky to have a great friend who cares about her at this time!! ]]> Mon, 21 Dec 2009 13:17:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30588&PID=875317&title=a-good-present-to-cheer-my-friend-up#875317 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30588&PID=875156&title=a-good-present-to-cheer-my-friend-up#875156 Author: Tastic

I'd make up some home made vouchers with stuff like babysitting duties (if she has kids) free for one night. A home cooked meal, a day out with the girls, a full house clean, a shoulder to cry on...
That way she might realise you are serious about being there for her (as sometimes in times like this people pull away and don't realise you ACTUALLY want to help) and then she can cash them in at any time....]]> Mon, 21 Dec 2009 10:39:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30588&PID=875142&title=a-good-present-to-cheer-my-friend-up#875142 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30588&PID=874981&title=a-good-present-to-cheer-my-friend-up#874981 Author: caitlynsmygirl

Those are some great ideas....you know what else she would probably really appreciate ?
a hug
a shoulder to cry on
someone to tell her that its alright for her to be pissed off , scared, feeling hard done by .
And then , your time ]]> Mon, 21 Dec 2009 02:11:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30588&PID=874981&title=a-good-present-to-cheer-my-friend-up#874981 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30588&PID=874980&title=a-good-present-to-cheer-my-friend-up#874980 Author: High9

I second some jewelery, just something that she can look at and remember you by and that will bring a smile to her face! ]]> Mon, 21 Dec 2009 00:36:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30588&PID=874980&title=a-good-present-to-cheer-my-friend-up#874980 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30588&PID=874890&title=a-good-present-to-cheer-my-friend-up#874890 Author: luvmylittlies

A necklace or earrings? Doesn't have to be expensive, just pretty to make her feel nice when she's feeling flat.]]> Sun, 20 Dec 2009 20:58:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30588&PID=874890&title=a-good-present-to-cheer-my-friend-up#874890 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30588&PID=874845&title=a-good-present-to-cheer-my-friend-up#874845 Author: FreeSpirit

A little flowering plant in a pot, something she can give a bit of love to but if she's unwell and has no energy, will survive a few days left to it's own devices.]]> Sun, 20 Dec 2009 20:04:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30588&PID=874845&title=a-good-present-to-cheer-my-friend-up#874845 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30588&PID=874836&title=a-good-present-to-cheer-my-friend-up#874836 Author: Tastic
