Whether you're invited to someone's house for a dinner, weekend stay, or full holiday, it's nice and incredibly thoughtful to bring a small token of appreciation to your friend or family member.

At a bare minimum, a host gift is a small but generous way to say "Thank you for having me." At its full potential, it's a way to make someone feel valued and recognized for all the time and effort they've spent to give you a welcoming and warm place to be. 

To help pick something a little more personal than a bottle of wine, we rounded up 36 gifts they'll remember and appreciate long after the party is over and the stress of cleanup is done with (for which your voluntary help is probably the best gift of all).
