A chalk board above the bed is not a good idea, as guests may have dust allergies. Also, I'm not sure about leaving a jar of water (as in the first photo) beside the bed - seems confusing, like yo...

Nice towels, linen or woollen blankets - even couples in well-established households might not have been able to indulge in good quality stuff and will remember you fondly when they use your gift
