Oh, it can be almost anything, but it depends a lot on the role. For the kind of work you mention you could, say, give them an already built layout and ask them to add some additional component or section, or to rearrange some parts. Maybe add a form similar to some other one in a different page. Or something like "add an option for this block to be hidden/shown depending on a configuration". Really anything can do.
I've sometimes had success picking up some minor tasks that we had already done in the previous months. Using things you actually work on is nice. It gives them some sense of what you do and gives you good knowledge about the task and possible difficulties. There's the risk of becoming biased towards the particular solution you implemented. To combat this I sometimes pick tasks I didn't work on myself or that I wasn't completely satisfied with the solution we achieved.
