so we are going to visit some friends of Chad's this weekend, I thought we were only going for the day, but now it is for the entire weekend. So I want to take a hostess gift.
Wine would be my normal gift but they don't drink wine.
She does drink beer though so I am working on finding out what kind.
I was thinking maybe some nice dog treats since they have 7 dogs, but I want to take something for the people too and am hard up for ideas since I don't know them at all.

A homemade dessert? (Not the kind that takes up half the 'fridge ... more like chocolate chip cookies or a cake that doesn't need to be refrigerated.)
Flowers, but not the kind where you are handing her a job (a bouquet that needs trimming and clipping and arranging and vase-finding). More the kind where you buy a glass vase (cheap at florists) or take a spare one along (even nicer), choose the flowers, ask the florist to clip the bottoms and put them in an inch of water, set it into a not-tippy box on the floor of the car, and then fill up the water when you get there. Nothing for the hostess to do but put it in the spot she likes.
Chocolates and a nice candy dish?
A cheese knife from a cook shop and a piece of Vermont cheddar or some other universally-liked cheese?
Glazed nuts and a cute dish?
An offer to take them out for one of the meals over the weekend?
Thanks!
Cookies are a great idea, I have a pretty non scented candle that might work too if I get a dish for it tomorrow.
and I have some fish and sweet potato and chicken and apple organic dog treats to take with us.
They have 2 mini schnauzers and two big ones, a GSD, a hound of some kind and a wolfdog that they rescued from someone and is kept in its own enclosure So I figure dog treats can't be a bad thing.
I figure if nothing else they are dog people so we should get along just fine!!

Yes, and most people bring along some horrible bone-shaped "dog biscuit" treats and they think they are all cool and thoughtful for remembering the dog(s) and you offer one to the dog to be polite and the dog goes "blech" and phoos it across the room.
(Every December both of our training clubs have parties with a Yankee Swoppe exchange and mine are always soooo popular. I get a plastic bucket of Simon & Huey's or Zuke's.
I have to disguise the shape because they are one of the gifts everyone tries to get if they know what it is.)
