2. Hi I grew up taking flowers, chocolate, and bread to people’s houses. Banana bread goes over well with most people because it’s a sweet bread, but it’s not cakey enough for people to only eat it as a treat. If you’re worried about allergies a small nice dishware set typically goes over well. I prefer to bring a stack of nice mugs that sit in a vertical wire storage. They are visually enticing, practical use, and take up minimal counter space. If you need something to go with it I suggest a pairing of fresh ground coffee, loose leaf tea, or nice hot chocolate.

   They’ll appreciate it regardless, most people love the intent regardless of actual outcome.
