pizza? flowers? a card?

Also, what's the phrase in english for support and encouragement to keep going when someone is going through a difficult time? In chinese say "加油" (literally: add oil ie. add fuel to keep going) or in french we say "courage", don't know what the phrase is in english.

I would appreciate it if a friend spent time with me or took me out for food and drinks. You could also get their favorite snack or a gift card to their favorite coffee shop or store.

I was thinking of this but we unfortunately live quite far apart. I hate to say this but I don't know their favourite snack or store. They're a friend from college so I know their go to places to eat but it's mostly student type food (all you can eat sushi, burritos, etc)

Gotcha, maybe you can find a sushi or burrito place near their house. I am always ready for sushi or a burrito! Or find somewhere they posted about on social media (if they use it). Other ideas are meat snacks (jerky, biltong, summer sausage), spicy nuts, caramel and cheese popcorn, hot sauce, whiskey, cookies, xbox or PS gift card.
