Hosting is wonderful, warm, and fun—but it can also be stressful. And as a guest, there's not a whole lot you can do to take the pressure off (save offering to bring dessert). What you can do is show your appreciation. Thoughtful, carefully selected gifts are a great way to accomplish that, while also highlighting that you get the host's vibe.

That "thoughtful, carefully selected" bit is the tricky part, of course. To help you navigate these merging waters of generosity and appropriateness, we've scoured Amazon for great gifts that will impress and please, from upscale matches to personalized cheese boards. Take a look, consider whom you're buying it for, and then click your way right into super-guest status.
