Passover gifts

Firstly, I am not Jewish, but I do need advice from those who are, and thought this would be better than the main boards, I hope that's ok!

I want to give my children's wonderful stepmother a Passover gift. My ExH is not the sort to make any effort and I want the DC to see her traditions celebrated and respected just like all the Christian ones she celebrates with them. Also, she's just a lovely woman, who I am very thankful for! I want it to be a traditional gift/appropriate food gift and ideally not too expensive as I am fairly skint right now. She is a non observant Jew (but does celebrate all holidays/major events) and not kosher, so I am open to cooking if anyone has giftable food ideas! Or any ideas really - everything I saw online was in America, really expensive, a bit over the top for our relationship, or mental (10 plague nail art wraps... 🤔), so any advice would be very appreciated.

Gift giving isn't really part of Passover and I would be very careful about cooking or baking her something. The food rules during Passover are very exacting. A low flower arrangement for the table?

How about a nice table cloth? Or a seder plate? Other tableware? Cooking something is risky - often even non-observant Jews will keep some level of kosher over Pesach.

Oh, thank you. This is why internet articles are no good, they very much made me think it was a thing.

What about just a card instead, would that be better? I can definitely do flowers.

Cards for Passover are lovely.

Honestly, you could just find a free printable Passover-related picture for your children to colour in and give her! She'll no doubt appreciate the thought. Or make some kind of 10 plague arts and crafts thing if you can be bothered 🙃
