I'd also include something the party could walk away with. Something smallish at 2-3 lvl. Something defensive or utility to complement the Fire Breath potion. Necklace of Adaptation? (Just throwing that one out there, something like that. Something a hag would find very useful, but that wouldn't make her super powerful to defeat.)
Hags are a great opportunity for really flavorful items! Between that and the fact that your party is still low level I'd suggest some of the Common magic items in Xanathars. Stuff like the Ear Horn of Hearing or Bag of Beans offer some fun roleplaying and combat uses without making her too overpowered.
That's good thematically (hags love potions and dusts and 'witch stuff', right?), and also doesn't make her overpowered. And, if she's got a bag of it, something the party can have if they beat her.
When my players fought a hag one of them wanted to take a trophy from it so I let them take a few of her fingers. I later led them to an alchemist that took the fingers and ground them up into "Hag Dust" which is just a reflavored version of Dust of Disappearance for them to use.

Exactly
Hag will also have a talisman that lets her cast Misty Step as a reaction when she receives damage. Since my party consists out of 4 ranged guys, they probably could not care less about that. However the mages will love that item :)
Both item together probably make my hag pretty powerful but i don't think overpowered. Also if they investigate her layer they can find out that she is terrified of spiders which makes the fight way more easier.
Hi
My group will encounter a green hag (they will be lvl 2-3) in my game. I have read that i should give the hag magic items.
My first idea is a potion of fire breath. What do you think? Anyone else got a good item a green hag can use?

Looking for new subclasses, spells, magic items, feats, and races? Opinions welcome :)

Thank you for your suggestions. I found something i really like in Xanathas. Dust of Sneezing and Choking
Since the hag does not want to poison himself i would say she throws it in a cone and not on herself. What do you think about that?
Also loot on the hag is not that necessary. There is plenty of loot back in her layer (if player check it out)
