Brandy, wine, cheese hamper, any other luxury food or drink item.

A bottle of something they might not necessarily have in, like a sweet dessert wine.

mccfluff

decent bottle of port & cheese (if they drink port & eat cheese)

MargoTester

Something for the garden perhaps?

dustypuss

Bottle of Bailey's ( then when they open it drink it you're self ) ;-)

Peter Pedant

yes you should
champagne and truffles
somehting small and expensive ( as youve agreed no presents )

Old_Geezer

Given that it isn't strictly a present then I'd be inclined to bring something you may all enjoy on the occasion, which does tend to suggest food or drink.

Unless you are suggesting you feel so guilty you wish to renege on the no-present agreement.

No flowers, no chocolate... hmmm... Well maybe a large container of sweets, perhaps a video or two that all would like to spend a couple of hours watching. Aside from that as others have suggested, booze is the obvious choice. Unless you want to do something outlandish like bring a ham :-)

You could make a few jars of different chutneys and package them up in a little christmas basket

How about making her some bits, such as pickles, jam, sloe gin or even biscuits? Find some pretty looking jars and make your own labels to give it a personal touch.

Some nice ideas there folks, although I was told not to bring anything, only ourselves, I did ask about bringing the ham O_G and was told no all the food is ordered.
