I am baffled, so I throw it open for suggestions. Aka, all wisdom is contained in fandom

It was my mother's 85th birthday a few days ago. I'm going to see her tomorrow, a day trip to Nuneaton by train. Today, I'm working from home due to the tube strike and I have to work tomorrow morning.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a present for an elderly woman, confined to bed, who is in hospital, and which might be obtainable at a railway station in the UK? (For those who know railway stations in the UK, it's Euston.)

Edit: The hospital does not allow flowers. I have no idea why.

I add agreement to the nice creams/lotions things - lavender is fresh and not too medicinal. Or something pretty to wear round her shoulders? It preserves her modesty too, nighties and such are often a bit gape-y!
