But before you get into a frenzy about what you're going to wear, don’t forget to pick up a nice gift for your host(ess). Because we BGs always demonstrate proper etiquette, it’s essential that we gift the host(ess) with a nice thank-you when attending a function at someone’s home.
The good news is that the offering doesn’t have to be expensive. A simple and affordable gift will show your appreciation for his/her hospitality. Plus, it just feels good to give!
Here are a few suggestions:
These cute Cuisinart bottle openers will make your host(ess) want to crack open that bottle of wine they've been saving! Available at macys.com for $9.98
You can never go wrong with chocolates because most people love it! Available at redenvelope.com for $42 These are pretty pricey, but you can find other chocolate gift sets much more affordable.

Oh I love these gift ideas..simple but a perfect way to say thanks for inviting me! BGG, I hate to say it but I didn't always know that you show bring a gift to the hostess. I would appreciate any other etiquette tips you may have for me. When I think of all the times I showed up empty handed and left with a plate...I could scream. Nobody told a sistah!
love em!!
Thanks for the tips. I see playing Santa can be fun and affordable.
