a card and a small gift--say, a gift certificate to Amazon to count toward college texts--if you don't know them well. How much depends on your budget and circumstances. A bigger and/or more personal gift if it's someone close to you.

How long to stay at the party? You're going to have to use your own judgment on that, based on how friendly you are with the family, and how good a time you're having. With an all day open house, an in-and-out hour or so, or even less, is okay.

Would the above be much different from British customs?
