I know from experience that nothing is more welcome than a heartfelt letter between a donor and a recipient, so that's much more important than a gift. You can't provide personal information about yourself in your note (an NMDP rule), but you can certainly write about how you feel about donating and your hopes for your recipient.

If you also feel the need to send a gift, a warm non-scratchy blanket of any size, for example a lap blanket, would be both thoughtful and likely very practical. A regular blanket works for everyone, while a Snuggie-type garment with sleeves might not fit. Your recipient might be a child!

Another choice would be something personal, like a home-made good-luck charm or a book or poem that inspires you.

Avoid food and plants for medical reasons.
