When To Bring A Hostess Gift

Any time you are invited to a formal gathering of any kind, you should consider bringing a hostess gift. Think about it this way… if the hostess has invested a lot of time and money into the event, you’ll probably want to bring a small token of your appreciation. The size and cost of the item will vary depending on the gathering (for example, if you’re visiting someone’s new home for the first time for a housewarming party, you may want to put a bit of extra effort into your gift), but as a general rule you should plan to bring something to parties, showers and holiday gatherings.
