I need to buy a gift to a non-Jewish woman.she owns a supermarket.
so I cant get her fruit platter, chcolate baksets or flowers-because she sells them all.
my dh suggested Broadway show tickes-for her and her husband but she does not speak English!
Any ideas?

It's a nice idea in general (eventhough I don't think she is gonna learn now when she is 65)but now I just need to send her a nice THANK YOU gift.

Earrings, a nice handbag, picture frames, photo albums, perfume, pretty
bowl, serving tray, gift certificate to clothing store, guest towels, kitchen linens, is that enough?

sometimes it depends who or what the person is to you as to how you gift - so what are you doing hanging out in chinatown anyway ...

Because she is Asian she gets tea, fakes and jade?
Thats like giving Jewish people Challah, Manishewitz and Tzitzis...not exactly something I would want.
I think going with a nice vase or bowl is good. Worse comes to worse, send it with a gift receipt and she can do with it as she pleases. Even if she doesnt like it, you made the effort.
