I'd offer to arrange a meal schedule for her and then call friends and family and make sure the family has meals coming for the first few weeks out of the hospital. I'd offer to come over and do laundry or buy her a couple of house-cleanings if you know of a reputable housecleaning service. The first 6 months with twins are BRUTAL. She won't need stuff as much as she needs hands to help around the house.
ETA: if there really is something you want to buy her, ask her which infant seats she is going to buy then get her a Double Snap N Go stroller with a couple of packets of these: http://www.google.com/products/catal...ed=0CDQQ8wIwAQ# It was the only way I could get out of the house with infant twins. Most of the time I just wanted to get to Target to pick up diapers. The Double SNG stroller has a huge basket underneath that can fit a big box of diapers in it! Plus the stroller hooks allow you to hang other purchases off the side.
