When someone invites you to stay at their home for an extended period, free of charge, it is downright rude not to want to show them your gratitude somehow.
It depends on the occasion. For dinner , flowers, wine, chocolates or a fancy dessert is customary, if you know you Hostesses' tastes. For an extended visit , a lovely dinner out, a gift of anything you might KNOW they collect , and a good long-term houseguest cleans up after themselves and pitches in for daily chores , unless you have friends with household staff. Then your job is to be as agreeable and appreciative as possible.
