Just to clarify the bringing food suggestion by some people..

A "hostess gift" is supposed to be something that she can enjoy after you leave. It is not meant to be served at the dinner or luncheon you're attending. Rather, it is meant to be a "thank you" for her fussing.. and for her to enjoy (not for the guests). So yes, can make an appropriate hostess gift if it is something like a box of chocolates or a gourmet pasta basket, rather than a dessert which she'll feel obligated to serve.
