With Summer in official full swing, there might be a few summer party invites - don't break the number 1 rule and show up empty handed - a well wrapped hostess gift is the way to go. So while you're out shopping for that perfect summer dress with wedges, think of your hostess and what he or she would like. I know the norm is a bottle of wine or flowers, but there's so much more you can bring to the party, literally.
Before you swipe your credit card, first thing you have to figure out is? What type of person is your host or hostess? Is he or she an avid reader and collect books? Is she a DIY hostess? A single crafty mom? A home designer and decorator? Would she appreciate the purple orchids as much as a florist would? Is she the go-to baker in the city or a philanthropist housewife?
Once you've figured out those answers, the rest is easy (trust me). And if you're still thinking what to get, don't worry I have you cover.
I've put together an easy list of 10 best and affordable gifts that would WOW even the most difficult of those to impressed. From your tea lovers to a personalized carving or cheese board. And don't forgo presentation, a pretty wrapper of gift bag goes a long way. I always stockpiled on gift bags and wrapping paper for any occasions from birthdays to the holidays.
Check out these gorgeous bags and wrappers below.
