I think the best way is to give every member of family something interesting depends on their age; toys for kids, electronic devices for young members and something local and edible for parents.

I’ve stayed in a lot of homestays around the world, and in my experience the best thing to give is something local (to you) and edible. Being a Brit, this usually results in local hand-made fudge. Usually people who provide homestays will receive a good many guests so trinkets are not so good – they just accumulate as clutter. Confectionary is a safe bet, but always check local dietary habits – don’t take anything inappropriate (i.e. containing pork or pork extract) to a mostly Muslim country such as Turkey!
