When my son hurt himself one day I told him I would try to make him this:
It cracked him up.
Then again, he's only 5.
A handmade card isn't as good or useful as magazines and pillows and shower helpers, but might go nice with them.

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

Food is the thing that 'comforts' me the most when I am injured.
Not terrible hospital fare, but good, homemade meals. Especially soup and fresh-baked bread!
A snuggie, I know the ad is cheesy but they are useful I have one.
An oversized throw, a got a fleece one for Christmas and it is awesome but would be better if it were alternative down.
Warm socks or easy to put on slippers
When DH was recuperating from his appendectomy (his had complications and longer healing time) he really loved comfy flannel or soft cotton pants for lounging.
I personally love coloring books even though I am 28 when I am sick. I know it is crazy.
Ice cream.
Magazines or a Barnes and Noble gift card (can be used online so she doesn't have to leave the house).

If it's a boo boo from a bike, have your LBS repair the damage to the bike.
As for your friend, homemade soup is always nice.
If she happened to have torn her handlebar tape from a booboo from a bike shop, new tape helps.

When I was bust up and pathetic I would have appreciated comfort stuff like:
different magazines, some girly, some sporty, some news
dark chocolate
some different tea bags
a fat candle
a soft blanket
and yes, a tune-up at the lbs would have been fantastic.
