    How about a mug cover organizer and put her favorite treat(s) in the pockets along with a fun mug underneath.

    How about a small table runner (probably placemat size) in Chanukah colors (blue, white, yellow) for her to set her menorah on when she lights the Chanukah candles. You could use insulbright in it to protect whatever surface she sets it on and it would also double as a hot plate at a holiday meal.

    I don't know what tschakies are, but I love tote bags to carry things.

    Tschakies are all different. Basically they are collections of things people display, over the fireplace, in a curio - things like that. All I think about when I hear tschakies is 'dusting'. It also makes a good crossword puzzle entry!

    Kind of like what we call knick-knacks.

    I think something with a Jewish theme and colors would be very much appreciated. A small wallhanging, or table topper comes to mind.
