I was thinking of maybe a plant or an attempt at some cakes. Do these sound like good gift ideas? I also think I should include a thank you letter with the gift, written in the best Japanese I can manage (it'd probably turn out to be an embarrassing mess but that doesn't really bother me).

A pot plant doesn't sound a half-bad idea. It's kind of neutral and unlike cut flowers, doesn't have any romantic overtones. Maybe try and find a flowering plant that won't grow too big and isn't too high maintenance. It's too late for bulbs unfortunately, which is a shame as they're great gifts as you can normally bung them in the garden when they've finished flowering and they'll pop up again next spring, luck holding.
