So, dh and I are going away for next shabbos to Dh's Rav. He's not just a Rav, he's a RAV - think next gedolai hador. Anyway, what do I bring for shabbos? While we are very kosher, I know that he has some major chumrot, so, I don't really want to bring food. Same goes for wine I think. I have a bil who is VERY careful with hechsherim and will only eat one or two in the US. So, I try to be very careful. Would nice flowers be appropriate? Would that be enough for dh, I and ds for shabbos?
What do you think?

Some people, especially those living with stringencies, would rather have their guests come empty-handed, bu not empty-headed.
So your husband should prepare a dvar-Torah to say at the shabbos-tisch if asked, that´s allways appropriate.
It takes time and effort to prepare, and is llways appreciated.
You, on the other hand, can still bring flower - that would be for the Rebbetzin, who must have worked a lot to prepare everything so nicely and opens her door so generously.
I guess flowers are allways nice. The best thing would be - I did that once on chol hamoed Pessah - to send the flowers in advance, by delivery, so the Rebbetzin doesn´t have to worry about finding a vase or getting rid of the ribbons /package etc. just before shabbos. If you arrive before shabbos.
Even better would be to give a decorative flower basket - so there wouldn´t even be needed for a vase.
I hope that was helpful.
