I heard that you are not allowed to give gifts on shabbat unless its for the purpose of beutifying the shabbat and making it more “kadosh”. Therefore what most people do is they bring a cake or a bottle of wine or some nice dish in honor of shabbat and the hosts then use it at the table. But here is my question, are you allowed to bring the family something that isnt food like a challah cover or a book? if you do, is the family forced to use it on shabbat according to halachah?
