If you're invited to a Chanukkah party and you're not Jewish (or unfamilliar with the holiday), there's no reason to make your gifts culturally relevant (just like not all Christmas gifts relate to Christmas, of course!)
If you feel like you DO need to make the gifts culturally relevant, try a candle-making kit for kids (you know-- roll up the sheets of beeswax). For adults, perhaps a Tzedaka box (donation or charity box; very important in the Jewish faith).
Don't listen to all the ignorant non-Jews who say "Buy a menorah!" or "Buy a dreidel!", as if these things are all Chanukkah is about. No disrespect to the non-Jews, of course, but trying TOO hard to accept a different faith that you know nothing about is very awkward- just be chill, you're not expected to understand everything :)

A fancy Menorah or Dreidel. Look for tablecloths and such around the Christmas stuff.

I think the best gift would be a silver menorah which makes a beautiful ornament as well as chanukka piece

There really is not a need to make a gift "jewish". Jewish families buy the same things Christian families do at Christmas time.
