I think we can overcomplicate offerings for deities, like each and every offering that is for a deity should ALWAYS be respectful. There's no 'if/buts/maybes' on that.
But some offerings can be simple like saying thank you outloud or in your head after eating your meals to Demeter, Artemis, or any other deity that are similar to that in your religion. Saying that your skincare, makeup, and brushing your hair is dedicated to Aphrodite or Hekate, for example. Saying good morning to Apollo in the morning when you open up your curtains and doors, meditating out in the sun for Apollo and Lucifer. Doing something risky and playful in honour of Loki and Hermes. Having a glass of water by yourself or washing your hands in honour of Poseidon. Learning how to defend yourself for Ares and Odin, paying your respect to the dead for Hades, and Anubis. Those are all examples of offerings, devotion or doing something in their name that you can do if you currently don't have any offerings for them at the moment, or if your sick and don't have the energy for offerings, or if you can't do any offerings because of unsupportive family, ect.

“If then you do not make yourself equal to God, you cannot apprehend God; for like is known by like.
…
Think that for you too nothing is impossible; deem that you too are immortal, and that you are able to grasp all things in your thought, to know every craft and science; find your home in the haunts of every living creature; make yourself higher than all heights and lower than all depths;
…
But if you shut up your soul in your body, and abase yourself, and say “I know nothing, I can do nothing; I am afraid of earth and sea, I cannot mount to heaven; I know not what I was, nor what I shall be,” then what have you to do with God?”
-Hermes Trismegistus, Hermetica
***I don’t think Hermes and Thoth are the same gods, rather they are besties who vibe well and wrote books together.
And maybe Hermes Trismegistus (Hermes Thrice-Great) is not just a fusion/collaboration of two deities, but a trio. A trio of Hermes, Thoth and you. Thrice-great.
They said “If then you do not make yourself equal to God, you cannot apprehend God; for like is known by like.” in the Hermetica.
They already say if you wish to understand the wisdom of them, you need to think yourself as a god as well. For like is known by like. As above, so below, if you will.
Then you can share their wisdom. And be the Hermes Trimegistus.
Kharis Hermes! Dua Thoth! Hail me!

Colour mock-up for the Valentine Patreon painting! Hathor won the poll, but Sobek was so close that I decided to include him as a framing device haha.
I was originally going to make it the human Sobek, but I know what the sickos want
(it’s me I’m sickos)
