Gift for host

Perhaps something your state is known for or that the gift is symbolic of. A locally made item is nice.

What do you mean by being “guests in a home”? Are you staying, free of charge, with friends or family? Or are you a paid guest in an Airbnb or similar?
If it’s friends or family, bring something you know they like. Every few years I stay with a dear friend and her family who live in the Caribbean and I always bring a personal gift for each member of the family.
If it’s a Airbnb for which you pay, no need to bring a gift.

If it’s an AirBnb or a paid rental, then a very positive review would be a welcome gift.

If these are friends, then I suggest some food items from Trader Joe’s. If they don’t like then, I’ll take them :)

Thank you all for your reply. We are guests, staying for free, with friends. I will find something local.

Another possibility would be to treat them to dinner at a restaurant while you are there.

Excellent...thank you Laura!

Flowers. Take something additional if you want, but in Europe it's flowers that are considered a host gift.

Thank you..perfect and easy!
