I agree about the clothes thing. So many many ways that can go wrong .... That's 26 years of marriage experience there I still remember my son at about 6 wanting to buy his mother a pair of size small PJs (She's 4' 11") and the smiles from the other shoppers when I gently suggested that she would be very flattered but perhaps we should look at the large.

Does that qualify as something a little more special???
Sounds like a great gift to me and supporting a good cause that means something to the dr. to boot. THAT is how you give meaningful gifts!

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
