Easy and Delish hostess gift?

We are staying for a long weekend with our good friends and I wanted to bring them something. Normally we would bring a bottle of wine but she is pregnant and I was thinking something sweet. We do have several hours to travel before we get there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Easy and Delish hostess gift?

  • If you have a well-known bakery in your town, maybe just pick up a small box of cookies/cupcakes from there- they transport easily.  I know my friends always ask for cupcakes from a certain bakery in my hometown.
  • Muffins, coffee cake, or a quick bread to eat for breakfast are always nice.
  • How pregnant? Because if she is due soon, I would bring her a freezer meal that she can defrost and eat once she delivers. 

    Also, I really liked to drink fancy sparking water with flavored syrups, Italian Soda style because there was so few drinks that I enjoyed that I felt like I could drink so a gift basket with that stuff would be nice.

    I also ate a TON for fruit, I would have loved a fruit basket or one of those edible arrangements. I think they are a touch on the cheesy side but I SO wanted one when I was pregnant, I couldn't stop eating fruit!  

  • Muffins, scones, granola, quick bread, sugar cookies decorated with royal icing, etc.  As a pregnant woman myself with 5 weeks left to go, I agree with others who suggested bringing a freezer meal she can enjoy after baby arrives.  That would be so, so helpful and practical!
