What gifts do people in your country give when they visit someone's home?

Well, it is very common to bring some tea or some food when we pay a visit to people.
During the big festivals, it's common to buy fruit and snack baskets. Hosts always appreciate them. If you visit elderly people, you can offer vitamins or dietary supplements. Flowers are also always well-received.

   Compare visits from relatives and visits from friends.
   

Well, first, I would say that there are two kinds of friends: your close friends, and your connections (= guangxi), that is to say the people you must be friends with. And it's almost the same with your family: there are your close relatives, and your extended circle of family that you must meet once in a while. I think that the atmosphere will be more casual when your close friends and close family visit you. You don't need to worry too much about pleasing your good friends, because you know that they are happy to visit you, and they don't want to bother you. But your work connections or your extended family might expect you to show them how much regard you have for them and how much you respect them. So you need to offer them better food, expensive tea, and better service. Things are complicated in China when it comes to relationships!
