Breastfeeding Support Basket?

My friend is expecting her first baby in May and I'm planning on making her a breastfeeding support basket. Someone did the same for me- it was a wonderful gesture.
So far, I want to put in

- a water bottle
- Lanisoh
- breast pads
- Soothies
- snacks to munch on like Luna bars

Anything else?

She wants a nursing cover despite my efforts to convince otherwise and I have one that I never used. I may give it to her. I want to support her breastfeeding and if she feels more comfortable with one, then so be it. I wasted money on the damn thing and only used it once as a sunshade.

Nursing necklace, oatmeal, local LLL contact info, lactation cookies + recipe, a good breastfeeding book if she doesn't have one yet

Excellent ideas! How could I forget the oatmeal?
Maybe I'll make some oatmeal cookies!
And a breastfeeding book is a GREAT idea!

My standard has become:

sling
nursing pads (Johnson's disposables)
lanolin
book (So That's What They're For, The Baby Book, Nursing Mother Working Mother)

All great suggestions might I add:

An issue or two of Mothering Magazine

And a frozen diner or two so she does not need to worry at all during the early days about diner.

A laminated card with her state's breastfeeding law printed on it.

Just in case some lame dummy acosts her for nusing in public.
