# HostHostess Gifts: What to Bring to a Dinner Party

So you've been invited to a dinner party and the inevitable question looms: _Gift for the host, yes or no_? You may be thinking, it's only a dinner party, so why should I bother to bring something for the hostess? Well, simply put, you should because it's common courtesy! If a friend or relative has taken the time to invite you into their dining room for a homemade meal, you must return their efforts and express your thanks. For an informal dinner party, an extravagant gift is not necessary, don't spend more than $20. An interesting **bottle of wine**, a fragrant **jarred candle**, or a fun **salt and pepper serving plate** are exceptional gifts that will delight and please any hostess. For close friends, splurge on an **animal print serving tray**. **Baked goods**, like a coffee cake that the hostess can enjoy the morning after the dinner, or a small bag of crisp and delicious cookies show your host that you appreciate the invitation to dine. Lastly, my all time favorite gift is a large, beautiful bouquet of **fresh flowers** from a friend's garden. Likewise if you have ripe fruit trees or an abundance of fresh mint, give the **home grown produce** to your hostess. Do you have any great host/hostess gift ideas?
