A host gift that is not wine or flowers

Short answer: A set of soft towels or a pair of socks for the house lasts longer than a bouquet. It is also easier to carry in a bag.

Something that gets used afterwards

Flowers last a week, towels several years. The host also does not have to find a vase in the middle of everything, and the gift travels in a bag without coming to harm. See bamboo towels.

Size does not have to fit

Home textiles need no size and suit any household. See bamboo homewear.

For the person who has everything

Soft basics are rarely bought for oneself. That is why they often land well as a gift. See bamboo socks for women.
