Host Gifts For Thanksgiving - San Francisco

If you've been invited over to someone's house this Thanksgiving, don't bring turkey hand towels. Show up with something small and edible instead.

Savory snacks: Nosa Ria, Hayes Valley's new Spanish import store, stocks Andalusian-style marcona almonds ($12 for 9 ounces), glossy with oil and flecked with salt, and puffy, sesame-flecked crackers called regañas ($5 for 9 ounces), ideal scoops for any dip. Nosa Ria, 500 Laguna St. (at Fell St.); 415-529-1506 or nosaria.com

Fresh bread: Josey Baker is baking multi-seed, Parmesan-pepper and cranberry-walnut breads for pickup Wednesday or Thursday morning. Order loaves ($6) through his Good Eggs online store. The Mill, 736 Divisadero St. (at Fulton St.)

Digestif: While most guests will hand over a bottle of Pinot Noir at the door, think longer-term and bring Jelínek Fernet ($19 for 750 ml). With its caramelly, full-bodied flavor, hint of anise and subtle bitterness, this Czech liqueur will ease overstuffed stomachs. Cask, 17 Third St. (at Market St.); 415-424-4844 or caskstore.com

Candy: Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous's peanut brittle ($14 for a quart) and pumpkin-seed brittle ($8 for a pint) are buttery, crackling and none too sweet. Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous, 699 22nd St. (at Third St.), 415-970-0750
