Can anyone help me with an idea for a gift for my stepdaughter's ordination?

She will be ordained as a Reform Rabbi in June. I would like to get her a tasteful and appropriate gift. She, of course, in no way expects a gift but I don't want to go empty-handed. I am not Jewish (my husband is, but he was a convert) so I don't have much of a clue. We have a Judaica store not far from my house and I could browse there and inquire. But I thought I would ask my fellow DUers who are Jewish what they could suggest...

Thanks a bunch, folks!

I just worry that she's going to get lots of one thing or another, such as talis bags, altho I don't really know. I really like the selection, however.

Thank you! I never would have thought of that!
