While Spam is a tasty treat, I would recommend some fruit. Any fruit. It's a typical and appreciated gift. You can't go wrong with fruit.

A cake of some description would be good. One of the Paris Baguette varieties usually does the trick.

Bring something you would want to eat. Mostly likely, whatever you bring will be served right there. You can't go wrong with fruit or a cake.

Maybe a fine bottle of alcohol for the Mr?

Don't buy 4 gifts. 4 is unlucky.

Get fruit.

Remember, here, the packaging is more important than the gift itself.
