The trick to giving thoughtful gifts is usually knowing the recipient well enough to spot something they would enjoy... what do you know about this woman other than the fact that she is visually impaired? Age? Hobbies? Does she like/use technology, music, books? How much are you looking to spend?
This might not be a fit for her, but perhaps a membership to Audible? If she commutes to work or likes to exercise, it could be good. One month costs about $15 and you can choose to give 1, 3, 6, or a 12 month membership. At 12 months the cost per month drops to $10 a month.

Like anyone else, good gifts for visually impaired people is highly dependent on the person's interests, their abilities and age . If she is newly blind it might be worth finding out accessible ways to do the things that she enjoyed doing before vision loss. If she has been visually impaired for quite some time accessories for her current hobbies, or maybe experiences that she hasn't considered having because of her vision issues.
Personally, I would like an audio book about something I am interested in. Soft and comfortable blankets or pillows (Does anyone NOT was a soft robe?!) that she can enjoy if she lives somewhere that gets cold in the winter. Some kind of food that she really likes (I really like getting 'XXX of the month' things for fruits or foods that I wouldn't necessarily buy for myself at the grocery store)
I can't imagine that there is any soecific gift that all blind people would like. If she is like most people, if theres something she would find useful in everyday life because of her vision, she probably already has some version of it. You may be able to find a new and better version of it though!
