Gift suggestions For Host in Amsterdam wanted?

Hello
My friend and I will be staying 3 days/4 nights with a nice lady in her home. We are looking for suggestions on what a nice gift would be to present her on our arrival. We have never met her before; communication by e-mail only. We are from the U.S..
I am from California and she is from Utah via- Brazil Originally. Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Laurel

Hi L,

Flowers are always nice (almost).

You can offer to take her out dinner while you are there.

ira,
i thought about flowers from the bloomenmarkt but wonder if she would enjoy them since she could see the beautiful ones at Keukenhof. Even though I think beutiful flowers brighten any day.

Zeppole- Chili Peppers? intersting any specific reason why?

Light to pack and not always available cheaply in the Netherlands. Since she is from spicier places than the Netherlands, she might enjoy having the flavors in her pantry.

Flowers are the best gift in my opinion.Flowers are however THE SYMBOL of adoration and profound love. They are meant to show a strong positive emotion of regard and affection towards a person. Love is mostly known as something irrational. What can represent an irrational notion better than an irrational action?! For that reason flowers have always been an essential gift
