No you do not take a gift to a dinner party when you are a guest of honor. You are the focus point of the dinner party. However, after the event you should send a note of thanks to the hostess.
When there is a birthday party and you bring a gift you should also bring your own bottle of wine. If guests bring expensive alcohol it is generally etiquette to leave it behind, but with the high economy often the host or hostess will insist the person take what is left of their alcohol home with them.
If it's a special occasion such as a birthday; special anniversary; wedding shower or baby shower then yes, you should take a gift. If it's just a get together with friends for dessert then no, it's not necessary to bring a gift unless you want to bring a bottle of wine or flowers for the hostess if you know them well, but not mandatory.
A hostess gift doesn'tt have to be expensive, but it should be thoughtful. Consider the types of activities your hosts enjoy, and gift accordingly. As a general rule, your budget should be around $15 to $30, depending upon the formality of the occasion. An important rule to remember is that you should never bring anything that makes more work for your hosts. The best example is that of flowers: If you bring a cello-wrapped bouquet, your hostess must stop what she is doing, find a vase, trim the ends from the flowers and greenery, arrange the bouquet, and find a place for it. If youre giving flowers, be sure to bring a bouquet that is already arranged in a vase.

Wrapping the gift before putting it into the gift bag could be done, but I believe the purpose of the gift bag is to take the place of wrapping.
