The Latest Hostess Gifts Found in the Hudson Valley

Whether it is during the holiday season or just a random weekend evening when you get invited to someone's house it is always a great idea to bring something. Your host will most likely say they don't need anything just bring yourself. However, the truth is they will love the gesture of the gift.

The wilder thing is that they will most likely send you a thank you note after for the gift which was a thank you to them, it is a vicious cycle but it is also one that must be endured if we are going to keep traditions going.

So What Makes a Good Hostess Gift?

Good hostess gifts always come from local small businesses. They also are usually small items. You don't want to get carried away with a hostess gift price-wise. It should be a small gesture of thanks for the invitation. Getting something too big could make your host uncomfortable. You can't go wrong bring small goods like candles, chocolate, and even a great bottle of wine or spirits.

The cool thing about hostess gifts is that they should be universal and by that I mean they should be able to work for any host at any party. That being said hostess gifts are the kind of items you should be able to store and then when you need to you can just head to the stash to find what you need.
