Never Visit Empty-Handed
When planning overnight or extended visits with family or friends in their home, it is always appropriate to bring a gift with you. If fresh fruit is in season, you may want to consider bringing some peaches, apples, oranges, etc. when traveling to a region that does not produce these crops. If your area is known for its barbecue sauce, marinades, special seasonings, etc., you may want to consider these items. Or you may want to visit specialty shops where you can pick up soaps, candles, or unique craft items to bring. Remember you are saving money on hotel accommodations by visiting family and friends, so be sure to show your appreciation to your hosts for their hospitality, even if it is your parents. Be careful not to take advantage of their hospitality or be burdensome to them. You just might be welcomed back.
