Help me with a hostess gift.
There is a couple that was friends with my parents through junior high and high school (he was actually my mother's first boyfriend) and kept in touch with my mother through the years after she divorced my dad that have kinda adopted me now that my parents are gone (I never knew them until my mother's illness). They have visited here several times. When they come they usually bring a gift - some wine, some local cider, a couple of things from their trip to Switzerland. We are going to visit them soon and I am wondering what to take to them. We are flying and we don't want to check luggage so can't be much liquid. Any ideas?

2. When I flew to Syracuse for a bridal shower I just went on line and
found a good day spa in the area and got the bride a gift certificate there, not as personal but easy to use :shrug:

3. Do they read? Get a gift certificate from a national chain book store. Or bring them
something like smoked salmon. The stores in the airport usually have lots of gift shops so get to the airport early and shop there.
