I found the "5 love/appreciation languages" to be one HELL of an eye-opener:

It hadn't dawned on me that trinkets/gifts could be a primary love-language, for anyone, ever,

AND it explained the behaviour of some people I knew.

Read the 5 types on there, & see IF the person you're interested in helping has some distinct lopsidedness on those 5 ways.

THEN figure out what to do to help 'em.

Leave her alone. If you’re so unfamiliar with this person that you’re asking strangers on the internet for “gift” ideas to help with “a rough time” just stop. Whole thing is screaming immensely inappropriate.
