My sister and I are trying to put together a birthday gift basket for our aunt. She is a single, 50-ish woman who works 3rd shift, so she sleeps during the day. We want to put together a basket of "sleepy time" gifts for her. Here's what we have come up with so far for ideas:
linen spray
calming lotions
Eye mask
earplugs
slippers and/or nightgown
sleepy tea
white noise machine or a relaxing sounds CD
Sleepy Time tea
"relaxing" scent body wash
candle(s)
fuzzy socks
Does anyone have any other ideas?

Bath & Body works has a good line of aromatherapy products....some are the 'relaxation' type.

Dove is now making a nighttime calming/relaxing body wash as well as the lotion to go with it!

I like to read before going to bed, so maybe a good book? I also do Sudoku puzzles before sleeping, they get me really tired, so you could possibly include that too.

Maybe a really high thread count pillow case? Or a new pillow?

How about a nice quality terrycloth bath robe to wear with the slippers after her baths and/or when she wakes up?

Lush (http://www.lush.com) has a whole line of sleepy-time products, all formulated to promote relaxation. We did a similar giftbasket for my (constantly stressed out, sleep-deprived) boss one year for her birthday.

Back rest for reading in bed. There is a super nice one that has a heater, massager, reading lamp and a place to put your water glass. Of course this might encourage her to stay up rather than go to sleep.
A breakfast tray that can be used for reading in bed or having a bed time snack.
Socks for wearing to sleep. It is easier to sleep with warm feet apparently.
