Even with "vanilla" friends if we're invited to a party, get together, cook out, etc. I always ask if there is anything we can bring. Those kinds of gifts I think would be fine. It's, more like you said, a gift to add to the party (something we can eat or drink right then). I don't think of those as "gifts" as much as they're a contribution to the event.
If you keep it along those lines I think it would be welcomed and appreciated.
