It would be nice to bring something that can be used on Pesach such as a new game for the kids, if they have children, or fresh flowers. It would be very nice to do the above and include a gift certificate for the mom for after yom tov for something she can Palmer herself with. Depending on what she likes, spa or nice coffee place.

A nice Pesach cookbook, if you think she will like that.

Depends if they are wealthy. If they are middle class or poor I would offer financial help in addition to a hostess gift . Hosting a family for Pesach is a small fortune.
If you don’t want to get in dollars and cents offer to purchase the meat, wine , matzo for some of the meals.

I would be so embarrassed if a guest offered financial help!! Part of my cheshbon for pesach is how many people we will be. I would be equally embarrassed if they offered to purchase food, other than dessert, which I wouldn’t take anyway, because we are particular about what we eat on pesach.

I would love fresh flowers, a fruit platter, amazing chocolate, high quality wine.
But everyone is different.

I know that you said you don't want to bring a dish, but I never seem to have enough serving dishes for Pesach. Bring something that doesn't need to be toveled, though.

A haggadah is always welcome. We once got nice embroidered pillowcases for the Seder.

Pre-Covid I would have said a gift certificate for a massage. (Maybe still could -especially if it has a long expiration date) (not being controversial here- just my thoughts)
Or a gift certificate to a silver store

Love the magazine idea
Would not want dishes or decanters
Would not want a massage

Organizing containers (oxo), or gift certificate to restaurant for hosts to eat out after Pesach

Something nice from a Judaica store with the gift slip included, so it can be exchanged for an item of the hostess's choice if it's a duplicate of what she already has or is not needed.

I think that's so generous already! How about a tablecloth? I always like nice new tablecloths (but with an exchange note).
Or a new book that you think they might be interested in, or a newly published Hagada with interesting commentaries.

I would never want a piece of judaica nor a gift certificate to a judaica or silver store.
I also dont want a tablecloth if you dont know the measurements of my table.
No benchers or washing cups. I have plenty of towels.
There's really no one size fits all answer to this.
I would LOVE a spa day but people have their preferences.
