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.
