Hair product might be out but scented bath products are a big favorite of mine. I find that since I have no hair the scented shower gels and lotions help me feel more feminine.A favorite of mine is Moonlit Path from Bath and Body Works. It is a very relaxing scent. Lotions are great too because chemo can cause dry skin.

People sent me a grocery gift card in the mail and it helped me because money was tight when I was not working from treatments/bills...
You still wash your head, even if no hair though...
Hopefully she is involved with some breast cancer group support meetings. That helps more than anything...to be with others going though the same thing and talk it out. Someone could go with her if she wants.

You could get her something special between the two of you. Something that she can keep close to her while going through this very difficult time. Maybe a special mother-daughter necklace. In addition to that you might like to make a donation, in her name, to the American Cancer Society. This wonderful organization helps people with all kinds of cancer.

Gift certificates for services that you will do.
5 certificates for doing her grocery shopping. 5 certificates for taking stuff to/from the drycleaners. 5 certificates for cleaning her house.
Anything you can think of that will give her a chance to rest and relax.

Don't treat her any different give her something that you would give her any other time (of course somethings are out, like hair care) she is still the same person and enjoys the same things.

I AM REALLY SORRY TO HEAR THIS BUT WELL GET HER SOMETHING SHE REALLY LIKES... SOMETHING THAT WILL ENTERTAIN HER WILL BE GOOD SINCE CANCER PATIENTS ALWAYS THINK A LOT SO THEY MUST GET THAT OUT OF THEIR HEADS FOR A WHILE AND HAVE FUN IN A SOME WAY OR ANOTHER....

Why not just the both of you go on a weekend trip together?. You can make and print a card stating, when and where, ect.

A facial or massage certificate. These were wonderful when I felt terrible.
