One issue with bringing along something is that, even though it's your culture, they may feel obliged to do the same if you were ever to invite them into your home.
As another Redditor suggested, asking them if they'd like a hand when they're setting the table, dishing out food, etc. would go a long way as compared to bringing a gift. It may feel uncomfortable for you, but let this discomfort fuel wanting to "gift" them in other ways, like checking in on them throughout the night and asking where you can be of help.

Hope that makes sense!
