Some combination of the above.

I was going to suggest something along these lines - clever small serving dish or something. I like to host and can never have too many, esp. unique ones(like the olive dish with a place for the pits, or the mexican chip/ salsa plate with several little bowls that fit on it). Bowls for nuts, trsy or plate or basket... I just hosted my first thanksgiving and it felt great to have something approapriate everything on the table.

Orchid. They are elegant and real and last a long time. Look awesome in any decor.

Different platters/serving pieces with different minis to celebrate seasons/holidays/occasions. I am betting she doesn’t have any of these. My twenty-something daughter loves them.

NP here, that stuff is really cute!

I've really liked all the presents I've received that I can use up-food, wine, body wash, candles. It's interesting to see what others pick out for me.
