BE THE LIFE OF THE PARTY WITH THESE

HOST & HOSTESS GIFTS

By Leigh Z.
According to Miss Manners (and your mother), the secret to a full social calendar starts by wooing your host or hostess with a suitable token of thanks. And while a bottle of wine or flowers can do in a pinch, to really make an impression (and ensure a repeat invitation), you need a little creativity and advance planning. Luckily, our Gift Gurus have compiled the ultimate host gift list guaranteed to keep your name at the top of everyone's party list.
 Giving a gift to the consummate party host or hostess? 
Here are a few of our favorite ideas for those elegant domestic divas and merry-making maestro's in your life:
That's Entertainment

Delicious food, served beautifully is the heart of every party, which is why cooking and serving gifts are always welcome. Consider an attractive cheese platter made from slate or stone to provide the finishing touch to their creamy camembert. Or check out our selection of serving plates and accessories, guaranteed to make their table the toast of the town.
Haute Home

Be the centerpiece of attention with a gift that accentuates their home décor. Add a little mood lighting to the festivities with a collection of candles or a splash of color with an exotic orchid, flowering bonsai or culinary herb wreath.
Sweets for the Sweet

Give your hosts their just desserts. Chocolate-covered strawberries or beautiful hand-painted chocolates are a decadently delicious way to say thank you. Or send in advance a delicious assortment of delectable treats.
Eat, Drink and Be Merry

Let them start their diet tomorrow. Our gourmet gift baskets and specialty food selections are just what the hostess ordered to effortlessly keep the festivities flowing. They're also the perfect excuse for inspiring an impromptu gathering.
 Whether it's a BBQ bash, birthday blowout or game-time Beerfest, 
these party animals know how to have a good time.
Reward them both for their effort and the invite with this selection of fun party favors:
The Party's Never Over

These amusing gift ideas keep the focus on fun. You'll find party-themed glasses, coasters and wine stoppers as well as a humorous pop art toaster or personalized cereal bowls guaranteed to get a laugh at breakfast no matter how hung over they are.
Go from Bored to Board

Board games break the ice and get the guests mingling. Choose updated standards, like the new Outburst Remix or Taboo, or if they are real party animals, consider a drinking-oriented game like poker or dice game sets. If they like to gamble, a professional set of poker chips will be a big hit (check out those imprinted with logos of their favorite NFL, NCAA or MLB sports team).
Make it Personal

Add your personal touch with these unique gift ideas. From monogrammed beer mugs and personalized M&Ms to branded steaks and engraved wine stoppers, these gifts are all about them.
Tasty Indugences

Kick their party up a notch with an assortment of gourmet gifts so delectable, they may just keep your gift all to themselves rather than sharing. From fabulous gift baskets to elegant wine varietals to microbrewed beers to end-of-the-meal treats, these are the gifts that will have everyone's mouths watering and their taste buds tantalized.
Let's Dance

Make sure your host is equipped with the hottest tunes to ensure the coolest vibe. From party CDs to karoake machines to iPod speakers and other accessories, get them moving and grooving before, during and after their party.
