NYE - what food to buy in?

Going out with a curry with some friends, then back to ours, I guess around 11pm. All couples are always very generous foodwise when hosting. Obviously I don't need to worry about loads as we're eating out, but I feel I want to have something to offer them on return.

Half wondering whether to buy a couple of savoury nibbles and some desserts as none of us will have eaten them after our curry. What would you buy? Open to ideas

Honestly after a curry I'm generally absolutely stuffed to bursting and couldn't eat anything more. Maybe some nice chocolates - but I wouldn't worry too much as I can't see anyone eating much at 11pm after an Indian dinner out. I'd just make sure I had lots of fizz chilling in the fridge to pop at midnight. Depending on how late you are staying up a bacon sandwich for the early hours before bed.

A good box of choc, some dates and some Turkish delight. Or a selection of baklava. Maybe some nuts or Bombay mix.
