A colleague of mine recently returned from a trip to NYC – a friend had graciously offered them up their upper east side apartment for free, while they were away.

She was struggling to come up with a good thank you gift. Something that didn’t take up much space, but was useful and unique. Something her friend didn’t already have.

My suggestion, a fruit box. Or better yet, 3-months of fresh fruit delivery, right to their door in NYC for $120. 

My parents have been gifting us this service the past few years at Christmas, and it is amazing. 

We eagerly await the next box…the citrus month is our favorite. I make this citrus salad from Eating Well Magazine. 

Before long we are left with just peels.

What are your favorite host gifts?
