Gift for Muslim Family (lemmy.world)

We have next door neighbors that are Muslim and are so very kind. They bring us plates of food when they cook and they even scared away some kids trying to steal our car at 2 in the morning.

I wanted to return the favor with a nice card from us and a gift. I don’t know how strict they are with Halal, and I read that Halal-friendly might not be good enough so I’m weary of a gift card to a restaurant even if it says Halal.

So what kind of gift(s) would be appropriate for a thank you? I appreciate any help you all can provide!

I'm an atheist, and gay, and I just feel like "haha, you're a good neighbor so here's a flag for something that I'm going to ASSUME you're a hateful bigot instead of actually getting to know you" is kinda bad

it also doesn't really promote community. Idk, I don't like it. I'm nice to christians even though some of them are cruel to me, because they're not all the same. This kind of behavior reeks of "I just discovered atheism as a concept" type thing you see from teenagers. Grow up, be a good human.
