Hostess To the
Mostest with the
W
ith the holiday season coming upon us, it’s inevitable that one will receive several party invites. The time of year lends itself to celebration through giving. And thus the conundrum begins. To bring or not to bring a gift for the hostess. What should I bring? How much money should I be spending on said gift? As with any other gift, keep in mind your relationship with the recipient. You wouldn’t give your boss the same gift that you would give your best friend. Although there is no tried and true rule book of etiquette when it comes to gifting the hostess with a little something as thanks for the invite into her home, and although in all honesty, most hosts and hostesses don’t throw parties with the expectation of receiving gifts, it’s generally become the trend to NOT arrive empty-handed.
