Here’s exactly what should you gift the hostess who already has the mostess, but could still use something cool.
It doesn’t matter if you’re invited over for a dinner party, a holiday hosted event, or just for a fun game night (those are our favorite) you should always bring at least a little something. While wine and beer can still go a long way, we’ve come up with some ideas that’ll be perfect for just about any budget. Most of these ideas average between $20 -$50, so they’re kind of inexpensive and then, of course, we have some picks that are on the pricer side, but well worth it. Almost everything is under $100!
