Travel Friendly Hostess Gifts.

Some of our most memorable vacations have involved visiting family and friends, near and far. While I adore sending a fresh bouquet of flowers along with a handwritten thank you note after our séjour, I never want to show up empty-handed at the home of a gracious host.

We’ve rounded up some great options for gifts that can easily be tucked into your carry-on (and won’t raise a red flag at security) or that won’t take up too much space or weight in your checked bag. From your neighbors who invite you to their beach house to your hard-to-shop-for in-laws, we’ve got you covered.

Read on for our selections.
