What are some mostly universal gifts for thanking people for doing you a big favor or being good hosts?

Like for me my go to is offering to buy them a meal. But I'd like to know other options

Lower class : box of beer ( brown glass) or a tinny

Upper lower : box of beer ( green glass) or a fifty

middle class : flowers, tickets to the rugby , or vouchers for a fancy restaurant

Upper middle and beyond : I'll tell you when I get there
- This whole class/glass colour made me think US, but you said rugby which they don't have there do they? Where are you from??
  
  NZ, but don't read too much into the class thing. It's mostly, green glass = more expensive, but it's not always the case.
- Haha yeah, alcohol tends to be an easy one. I always offer to share my fancy tequilas/liquor (my mom gives them to me haha) or a round of top shelf weed with friends who drink/smoke.
In my country a bouquet of flowers.
- Flowers is an interesting one, even if the receiver is a man? In Mexico, US, and probably a lot of Canada this would be seen as either a romantic advance or a joke unless you have a very intimate (can be platonic) relationship with them already and generally just for women even then
A hand-written thank-you card means a lot in the age of the Internet
- Very true
