When you are invited to someone’s home for a party or celebration, it is customary to bring a Hostess Gift. It is a small token of appreciation.
If you are being invited, remember the joy and delight that came from being received as a guest. A small “thank you” in the form of a Hostess Gift would be such a nice gesture. So to help you along I have come up with some special Hostess Gifts that I’m sure will please and bring smiles all around.

Your host or hostess will enjoy the gift you have chosen especially for them. This is a small sampling of what you could Choose. All of them are useful too. It shows that you are thinking about them and of things that they may enjoy.
Each gift has a useful purpose. That’s great for the hostess that doesn’t want a lot of “kitch”. Gourmet Teas and creams, soaps and lotions are all gifts that will disappear over time. Gifts that are meaningful to the recipient are always welcomed. Hand towels, cheese boards, wine tools are useful and nuts can be shared with your friends. These suggestions should bring a smile to your face, That way you know they will enjoy them too. A tray of cookies or your signature pie, would also be welcomed.
You know your friends better than I do, but I am sure that any one of these Hostess gifts would be welcome and appreciated.

Those are wonderful gifts — the kind I’d like to get were I entertaining. I especially like the heart-shaped nut platter and the cheese board set. Wonderful selection!
Well Barbara if I ever make it out to see you in California, I will bring one of these with me for sure….Thank you for your kind comments.
A small hostess gift is always a sweet way to say thank you to your hostess for the invitation to a lovely dinner, especially one that celebrates a special event, such as Thanksgiving.
For Sure Miss Elf. When someone has gone to extra lengths to make your visit wonderful, a small token of appreciation is a lovely gesture. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t appreciate being thought of in this way.
Taking an appropriate gift to the hostess is always a wonderful idea. I certainly wouldn’t mind if someone brought me the hand repair set. I do still hand wash all of my china and sadly, my hands do pay the price. Lovely ideas Olivia!
Dear Miss Cynthia, I’m sure that those lovely hand lotions would be a blessing for you especially given how many dishes there are to wash. I do hope that the next time you are having a get-together, someone thinks of you and your hands. Lovely hand lotions are always welcome in my home too!
Bringing a gift is always a sweet gesture. At what type of parties should a hostess gift be given?
Sandy KS, hostess gifts are never to be expected by the host or hostess, but they are a thoughtful idea for the guests that are invited. I would definitely be bringing a hostess gift if my invitation was for dinner, a party for Thanksgiving or New Years. A birthday party already supposes that you will bring a gift of sorts, so a Hostess gift is not required or expected. If you are just going to visit for coffee at a girlfriend’s home, no hostess gift is required either, but cookies to go with coffee would be welcomed.
I guess a rule of thumb would be, If they are feeding you well, and there are more than 2 or 3 couples invited, a hostess gift will find you in good stead!
