[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow-I am pretty shocked at how many here do little if anything! When my kids have been invited to a vacation we absolutely give them money to bring the host family out to dinner. If it is to their vacation home my kid would arrive with a gift (either a food gift or something fun for the week or candle/frame), the offer for bringing family out for a meal (or cook a meal at the house.) In addition to verbally thanking them and being a great guest, a hand written card would also be sent. And I have to say that this is pretty much what kids did for us when we hosted them - and most often we get letters from the kids and the parent. While we would decline letting them treat us for a full meal, we'd let them get ice cream or cook pancaked (though we'd buy ingredients.)

If we had guests who took our generosity so much for granted that they didn't thank us with a letter or email and just did a verbal thanks - they would probably not be invited back with any pleasure on our part.[/quote]

You guys are giving candles as hostess gifts?

That’s worse than bringing nothing. Nobody wants more clutter in their beach house. There’s a great SNL skit about the candle that gets regifted. Just stop.

I wasn't that poster but my favorite hostess gifts are candles.[/quote]
