[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She should bring a hostess gift, a nice cookbook, chocolates, linen napkins, things like that. Her BF’s family will most likely pay for her lift tickets but it’s best not to assume and to offer to pay her own way. [/quote]
Only small consumables or disposables! Ski lady of the house does not want your cookbook or non-disposable napkins. She's already had the multi million dollar place professionally decorated. I'm also 100% fine with a just a nice thank you note a week or two later. Of course we don't expect you to pay your own way. It's a very nice gesture to pick up a breakfast bagel order or buy a round of midday hot coffees and snacks on when we take a break on the mountain. In our case, it's always lovely when you spend some time with the younger siblings (playing a game at night type thing).[/quote]

This exactly. Small consumable related to your home town (not something picked up at Walgreens). If you must, but I do think a hostess gift is not necessary- no one needs more things, even food, especially not these people.  Do be clean and have good manners. Bring your own money- though I’d be shocked if she is expected to pay for anything other than souvenirs and snacks. Most importantly, write a nice to thank them afterwards and mail it. [/quote]
