What is a good hospitality gift?

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
