My Favorite Hostess Gift to Give

Sooner · ‎03-10-2010

A lot of you will be going to parties and meals and I am going to share my hostess gift favorite!

I make a pretty bag, basket or box with a couple of new dishcloths and kitchen towels, some counter spray or nice scented soap, some tea or coffee pods, and a couple of nice wrapped muffins, or cookies or some health bars.

I enclose a new note that says I want to make cleanup a little happier and get the morning started on a good note, and thanks, etc.

Some of my friends have had a laugh and said it did make that night or the next morning a little better to have some fresh towels and cloths or sponges.

Just an idea because sometimes it is hard for me to think past wine or flowers!

I gave dish towels last year along with a hand soap and lotion for the kitchen. Everyone loved it and said they don't really think about replacing dish towels very often.

What? No poo-pourri? That could get the morning started on a good note?

That is a cool ideal and most appreciated. Only thing I could think to add is bubble bath for soaking after all the planning, shopping, entertaining, and cleaning is accomplished. Eat that cookie (or several) in some bubbly hot water.

@Sooner I would invite you again and again to get a nice hostess gift like that. I usually get wine or flowers.

I have a whole cabinet of wine that I need to unload onto someone else and the flowers, though beautiful don't last long enough.

What a great idea.

"Loving gesture"? Maybe the message is your kitchen needs cleaned.

I'll volunteer to take those off your hands!
