My DH, DD (3) and I are visiting my DH%26#39;s family for the first time. We married on 10/13/01 and DH%26#39;s entire family (everyone lives in CT) decided that they did not want to travel to CA at that time) did not attend. I would like to know what would be a great housewarming gift we could offer. We will be staying at my DH%26#39;s aunt%26#39;s house in New Haven. We live in CA and I have never met his side of his family and would like to bring a ';nice'; gift to thank them for letting us stay at their house for a week.
Thanks for your help!

HELP~ Visiting Family 4-1st time!!!!!When I%26#39;m staying at someone else%26#39;s house in another part of the country, I like to bring my host(ess) a package of goodies that have something to do with where I live. What%26#39;s special from where you live? Maybe some handcrafted mugs and teas or coffees? Wine (if you%26#39;re certain they imbibe)? Cheeses?
When I visited a friend in Texas for the first time, I was at my local purveyor of fine spirits and asked if he had any good Connecticut wines (we have some small wineries in the state). He rolled his eyes and said there was no such thing as a really good Connecticut wine, and asked why I wanted one. When I explained about the hostess gift, he showed me a limoncello (Italian type of lemon liqueur) in a beautiful bottle that was made in Connecticut, and that%26#39;s what I took.
When I visited my brother %26amp; his wife in Reno for the first time (hadn%26#39;t seen him in about 5 years, and her for even longer), I took a pair of mugs that I%26#39;d found on my adventure in Hungary earlier in the year. This year when I go back, I%26#39;m taking them coffee from my trip to Costa Rica earlier this month.
If your DD%26#39;s are old enough, have them make a special thank you card to include; they%26#39;ll probably feel important making a contribution to the gift.
