It’s that time of year when we get invited to people’s homes for holiday get togethers, open houses, happy hours, cocktails, dinners, etc. I may be old-fashioned, but I truly believe one should always arrive with a small token or gift for the host/hostess when arriving. It’s the least a person can do when they’ve gone to the trouble of opening their home, feeding and entertaining you for a few hours. There’s always the cliched option of bringing a bottle of wine or flowers, but how about something a little bit different? I’ve come up with ten hostess gifts for all occasions that can easily be bought ahead of time and stored in a closet or cupboard, ready to pop into an appropriately themed gift bag at a moments notice. The good news is that almost all of them are under $30, and many of them are well under that. These also make great gifts for most holidays and birthdays-so if you want a well-stocked gift closet, consider keeping a few of these items on hand at all times!
