My DS has been invited for a beach house stay with his friend and friend's mum. When I asked whay to bring she said to just bring clothing, sun screen etc. But I want to bring a little gift but I have no idea what. Friend has Arfid eating disorder and mum is orthorexic so food stuff is difficult. Normally I would give a basket of biscuits, aperitifs, fruit, soft drinks, wine for the mum that they could enjoy but since the boy only eats pasta and the mum I have no idea (almonds ?) I am lost. I can't let my DS go emptyhanded, I would feel awful but what would be an appropriate "gift" in these circumstancces ?

Bring something like a reed diffuser, a board game or some kind of nice outdoor toy croquette or something.
