What is a good gift for visiting a Greek family?

[kcixcy]

Hi everyone! My husband is Greek and I'll be visiting his family for a few days during Easter. What's something nice I can bring? Do you recommend something for the home like a vase? Or food?

I would recommend bringing something for the house. A vase sounds like a nice idea, or maybe something that you know his parents like for themselves. You can bring food if you're going to their house for a meal or for a party, but if you're staying at their house for multiple days, a bigger gift is necessary.

I always appreciate a bottle of wine or some kind of food. Preferably food that has a shelf life....we have a Greek market nearby where you could buy the likes of loukoumi, a jellied dessert with confectionary sugar on it. Somehow in our Greek home food is always appreciated.

I would bring a collection of items. Maybe some wine, the loukoumi would be a nice gestured, maybe even a potted plant, like a potted herb. Greeks love to use fresh herbs in their cooking and most have patio or windowsill gardens.
