Preparation
Whether it’s a Friday night dinner or a holiday soirée, it’s good etiquette to bring your host a gift. And while his or her go-to bottle of wine will be appreciated, we think you could do better (or at least introduce them to other varietals!). Your host is a natural entertainer, one who is not just the source of the party, but the heartbeat of it, too. To show your gratitude, bring one of these thoughtful gifts along.
Try entertaining-centric options that they can use at their next event (think hand-embroidered napkins and a stunning cake stand) or elevated presents to pull out after the party has ended (think a Parisian-inspired mug). We’re particularly fond of the gifts that err on the side of the unexpected: They likely didn’t know that they needed a vase made of wax, for example, but once they see it, they won’t want to be without it.
Ahead, more inspired gifts for your very own hostess.
