Appropriate thank you gift for immigration lawyer?

My immigration lawyer has been very helpful in processing my green card. Next week, I'll have my interview and hopefully my status will be approved. My husband and I are just college students, but we would still like to give a meaningful and wonderful thank you gift. My budget would be about $100. I was thinking to give her a box of gourmet chocolate, but I'm not sure what her diet restriction is. She seems to be a very fit and sophisticated person. I have some options in my mind, but I'm not sure if they're appropriate: a crystal figurine from Swarovski, a gift certificate to one of the city's best spa, fruit basket, a box of goodies from L'Occitane. My husband thinks they're too "weird", but not give any input ... Any other ideas?
--------------------
I've dealt with immigration lawyers before, and I've never felt a reason to give them a present at all. The present they received was being extremely overpaid just to put together a few papers, or pass it on to their assistants. That's cool that they made that good of an impression on you, though. Thing is, they're not expecting anything from you but that big check. So anything you give them will do...probably something that will last, that they can put on their desk would work. So the crystal figurine would be cool.
