NWR - Any gift suggestions

DH and I are spending Thanksgiving with his father, step mother and thei family. When we go there FIL pays for everything-even if we happen to go to the drug store. There's no way he will allow us to treat them to dinner or to brunch at our favorite place on Sunday morning. Does anyone have any gift suggestions, either something we bring with us or send afterwards. SMIL is a wonderful hostess who sets an absolutely gorgeous table, so I don't know about flowers. One thought I had was for a menorah from Etsy. Even though they are not very observant, they do light candles each night and might appreciate something hand made. Anyone have any other ideas?

    I like the menorah idea, and I personally LOVE flowers. How far away from you do they live? Could you bring a bottle of wine made in your region (or any other). What about gourmet chocolates made by some local place near you? Or any other desserty/breakfast item like a local pie? mmm I am making myself hungry!

    Hi, Molly,
    I think a menorah is a great idea, or any of Alina's yummy edible suggestions.  If you know of any of their favorite places to shop, maybe, pick up a gift card and a nice hand-written card, or a basket of teas and coffees from one of your favorite coffeeshops?  Or, a book on their interests (a travel book, for example)?

    Maybe a giftcard to one of their favorite restaurants? We did that for my dad.
