What is a good hospitality gift?

Question

Aside from a gift basket. Something that would be a cool gift. My brother and his wife are letting us stay with them for a few days and they live in another state. I would like to do something nice.

Answer 1

Invite them out for a nice meal.

give them something for the house like a wall  picture or some thin they can use a lot.

Answer 2

Sometimes not spending money shows people how much you really appreciate them. I'd clean the house real nice for them and cook dinner. Believe me, everyone appreciates a clean house and a meal to come home to. It's the thought that counts.  

Answer 3

Take them to dinner, they will be happy to not have to cook.

Since they are in a different state, you could bring them something from your state, IE: Wild Rice from MN, or whatever your state is known for.

Wait until you get there and see if there is something they could use. For example: They mention wanting to get XYZ for the dining room.

Cook a double batch of something you make well. You can have some for dinner one night and freeze the rest for them.  

Answer 4

Nice handmade portraits or paintings made from photos are always a good gift idea. You can find more such ideas at http://www.paintyourlife.com

They make all types of personalized and unique portraits on oil, pencil, charcoal, etc.

They also do wonderful photo-printing on canvas in different designs. Please take a look at http://www.photo-print-on-canvas.com for more information.

 

Answer 5

Prepare them a dinner that all you have to do is put in the oven.  Make it, put it in a cooler, and then cook it when you get there so they don;t have to make dinner! We have done this before and it is always a success.

God Bless
