Getting some furniture from friend's mom, ideas for a gift?

Hello. My friend's mom who I've only met once is giving me some pretty nice furniture for free, and I'd like to get her a gift. She doesn't drink and my friend said she likes crafty things like beads and crystals.

I'm absolutely stumped, but I'd definitely like to get her something. Anyone have any ideas?

Gift card to a bead store (if there are any nearby) or gift card to a craft store!

The gift card is a great idea, but why not make her something as well? Cookies, bread, a small cake?

Send a nice bouquet or plant with a thank you note.

If it's spring where you are, I'd send a beautiful potted flower arrangement for the patio. Along with a nice card and a photo of the furniture in your place!

A pleasant-looking notebook? A lot of crafty people also like to draw, write or at least make lists. There are even furniture-themed notebooks on etsy.

Response by poster: Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Think I'm going to go for some kind of floral arrangement
