Even if the student was female, this would be inappropriate. I would suggest, instead, something fairly unique, but inexpensive. Anything more than ten quid is probably too expensive. The last time I bought something for a female Japanese superior, it was a a $12 genuine handcrafted deer skin dream catcher from New Mexico (where part of my family has historically resided since the 1840s, the other part being across the border in Texas).
Unique, but definitely not expensive. Anything too expensive brings up the same issues as a dinner, although perhaps not quite as blatantly.
