Muslim here. If you're worried, something kosher will do as long as it doesn't contain alcohol (kosher food without alcohol is automatically halal).

kosher food without alcohol is automatically halal.
Noice!
I think your over thinking this. Just don't buy anything obviously insulting like Alcohol or pork. As others pointed out, trying to match their tastes is going to be tricky.
It's the thought that counts, if there is something in a basket they can't consume they will likely just regift that item.
I'd go with something safe for the gift like a non food gift or, because nearly all religious food restrictions are related to animal products, a vegan safe gift. Then I would ask them to a dinner/game night. When you invite them you can say that you were a little nervous about asking because you don't know much about halal and set up a day where you can cook together. Gives you a chance to learn a little more about them and build the friendship.

My Tractor Supply has potted lemon trees for under $20.
I like the fruit basket ideas too.
A rainbow flag. If they are not homophobic then they should accept it without problems, if they are homophobic, you dodged a bullet :)

Hi, Muslim here!
That sounds very generous of you, honestly I think you're being very accommodating and that's already very nice.
I think something simple like gift bouquets are fine, at grocery stores.
My neighbours give my family those sometimes. If one box has gelatin, we just give that specific box to a different neighbour.
But generally it's ok, just any generic gift bouquet should be fine.
Thanks for being a great neighbour!
