Absolutely! Poinsettias are secular. Because of the vibrant color, they are wonderful winter gifts and are not linked to Christmas, but the season.
Remember, Hanukkah is not as holey of a holiday as other Jewish holidays (it became more important mostly so that Christians can relate).

Why not just decide you want to give a poinsettia to a friend, and not worry about the Jewish part? If this person is a friend, he or she will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

LOL I think we are going overboard with the politically correct thing. It's only a plant and plants don't believe in any religion.

Why don't you just ask them first? If they say that they won't mind it, then cool. If they say that they would rather not accept it because it reminds one of Christmas, then give it to someone else. They would appreciate if you ask first.

It's okay as long as it's not in a vase in the shape of a pig.

it's typically thought of as a christmas plant, but if they like them, then why not? if you don't know if they like them, i wouldn't. or if they own cats (poisonous).
