hostess gifts
Visitor thank-you tokens
Hostess gifts are small presents brought when visiting someone's home, typically for a dinner party or overnight stay.
Wine, flowers, chocolates, and candles are classic choices.
The gift acknowledges the host's effort and expense: I need to pick up a hostess gift before the party.
The term persists despite its gendered origin.
