If you have been invited to a party or perhaps will be staying at a friend or family member's house for vacation, don't forget to think about a special gift for your host or hostess. There are a variety of excellent items to think about.
Flowers are always a good choice, and you can bring a professional arrangement of flowers with you or have it sent as a thank-you gift after you leave. You can choose blooms that will complement your hostess' decor or her favorite flowers. Some flowers traditionally symbolize thanks and gratitude, so consider sending blooms in shades of pink, such as pink roses or pink carnations or perhaps an arrangement with roses, pink gerberas and Asiatic lilies.
Another option is to send your host a live plant, and there are many choices to consider. Flowering plants such as orchids, bromeliads and hydrangeas are a cheerful idea, but you can opt for specialty plants such as a bamboo tree or a towering ficus.
Wine is usually a welcome gift; if you are unsure which brand is your host's favorite type of wine, bring a bottle of champagne or perhaps a bottle each of red and white wines. If you know that your host prefers another type of liquor, bring that instead. Perhaps your friend does not drink alcohol. If so, bring some gourmet coffee or some specialty loose teas.
If you are heading to a party, you can offer to prepare some food item and bring it along. Appetizers are generally a welcome addition, as are side dishes and desserts. You can bake a pie or cake or just bring cookies or choose something that will accompany the main menu.
If you are staying at the home of a friend or relative, there are many other options, as well. Consider sending a thank-you card and enclosing a gift card to a favorite restaurant. After waiting on guests for several days, enjoying dinner out can be a welcome reward. You could also give a gift card for a spa or perhaps a salon or favorite shop, depending on your host's interests.
