It's a "know your audience" gift, but we are sending a thank you
gift of several hot sauces to friends who hosted us for the
weekend. We got a variety of heats, since one person likes
milder and one likes super hot.

hate macarons. [/quote]
I looked it up once, and confusingly, "macaroons" is also a
synonym for "macarons," at least in the USA. I think you have
to specify "colorful sandwich cookie things vs coconut" to be
clear. I like both, so that makes it easier for me.

Home-made food that lasts more than two or three days. Home-made
jelly/jam, pickles, dried fruit. Dried herbs from your garden. I
have given home-made blueberry BBQ sauce as a hostess gift.
Home-baked goodies (bread, cake, cookies) only if I know the
host/hostess will have opportunity to consume them before they
go stale or they freeze well.

If you can find a place that makes them, gourmet fortune cookies
are tasty and cute. Or you can make your own treats by dipping
cookies/pretzels/biscotti/spoons (for stirring coffee) in
chocolate and sprinkles (or whatever toppings).
Those hot chocolate mix or cookie mix in a jar tied with a
pretty ribbon are a bit different as a hostess gift too.

My mother taught us to never go to a social gathering at
someone’s home empty-handed. A bottle of wine, good cheese, or
some lovely cookies in a tin are timeless ideas. I usually
always bring a bottle of wine. It’s not the gift itself that
matters so much as the gesture itself.
