What can we gift a rich family that has everything for hosting us for shabbos?

They have expensive taste.

I can spend $25-50.

Another vote for chocolate, flowers or wine.

Whenever we stay by someone for shabbos, we give them a chocolate platter and a wine, regardless of their financial status.

Food or wine is the best especially if it doesn't have to be used immediately.

I would probably opt for a smaller quantity of really upscale chocolate - something that they might be less likely to buy for themselves even if they are "rich"

ETA - I would not get them any kind of tchotchke or household item unless it is truly an item that you know someone would find useful. For example, I got a wealthy friend a lemon and a lime squeezer when I discovered how great they were because I knew that she would actually like using them when she cooked.

Nice pastry platter, or a Mazza platter is always a hit.

That your hosts are rich and have expensive taste shouldn't make a difference as far as the gift you bring. Bring what you usually bring.

Something personalized with their name or with the Initial of their last name.
For example a lucite napkin holder with the initial letter of their last name. Or matches box with their initial or even a cookie jar.
anything personalized is special.
