There are many types of blankets you can easily make for cheap. Or, get a little more creative and put together a ready-to-make scrapbook. Make areas she can add photos/items to, and have each page set up to record key moments(birth info, first tooth, steps, words, and everything).

If you know how to knit or crochet you can make a pair of booties. If you sew, get some flannel and trim it with bias binding to make pretty burp cloths.

For a memorable baby gift, incorporate the baby's initials or nursery theme onto a simple store-bought item. Mothers like attractive storage containers for small items such as socks or pacifiers. Paint initials or apply motifs onto a bucket or plastic bin, or paint a canvas or piece of wood to adorn the baby's room.

A beautiful and yet very useful gift is a diaper cake. They can be made with even a small package of diapers from the dollar store. There are many, many pictures online for inspiration. Another idea is to make your own gift certificates good for an evening of babysitting.
