I second @LucyPurrs 's suggestion of a coffee-table book (is that a Britishism?) Or if the host family have pre-teen children, some classic picture book like Make Way for Ducklings.
When I was a child my parents took in a succession of JYA students from Hollins University. One of them gave us a boxed set of EB White novels. I'm eternally grateful to her for introducing me to The Trumpet of the Swan, which is unfairly overlooked compared to Charlotte's Web IMVHO.
