Say she's not Russian. Say she's Ukrainian now living in the U.S. Let's make this easy, something that can be ordered off Amazon and sent to her so that when she receives it out of the blue she properly squees.

Feel free to give women chocolate or flowers but know that they (generally) receive these a lot so it will not be considered a particularly “special” present. Surprisingly, perfume is a common gift for Russian women – many do not stick to just one kind and like to try and own a few different things. It is also acceptable to give (nice!) fashion accessories such as scarves and shawls.
Do not give: Jewelry. It is considered to be quite a personal item that is to be picked out by each woman (or perhaps her suitor or family) individually. Most Russian women are very selective about their jewelry. The same goes for watches and purses. Also, stay away from cooking accessories – most Russian women will already have exactly what they want!

Thanks! Russian women sound much like Toni. I'm well trained. I totally got this.

I know several Russians, worked with them for years, and consider them friends.
What to give a Russian?
Passage to America and an application for citizenship.
Russian girls want EVERYTHING. A nice Polish woman, you put her in a heated basement with a kitchen stove and she'll make you pierogi till you plotz. Ah, Polish women.
Whaaat? You give them vodka and a potato. Works for Irish women too.
I thought it was funny. They're answering the question what to give a Russian woman and it's all about what not to give Russian women. I guess now, anything not on the list.
I gave seeds one time and that worked. Turns out it a thing over there to exchange seeds. She told me it made her feel especially welcome and me somehow especially perceptive. Dumb luck. Seeds!
Mum wore scarves. They were fascinating. That's an idea I didn't think of. A few good ones of those with interesting patterns and nice fabric I'll bet will work. And I know from being fascinated, we all were, they were great, that her kids will be fascinated too. This one if foxes! This one is leaves. This one is flowers. This one is Egyptian and the hieroglyphs say… oh man, they're just made up crap. Goddamnit send it back. See? Like fascination like that.
Chip have you been trolling dating websites buddy.
Listen to our friend Shouting Thomas. Try a nice Filipino lady. You will do a lot better.
Russian women are mean.
Ha. This is my brother's wife.
