A basket with a wonderful story.
Give it just as is or with yummy treats like cheese or chocolate.

Especially lovely if this is a newly married couple.

Speaking of wine, how about this awesome opener?
It uncorks a bottle of wine in three seconds. (or you can go for a classic).

bread-gift-guide-host-hostess.jpg

Perhaps my very favorite host/hostess gift is a loaf of bread (or muffins or crescent rolls).
With nut butter, jam or jelly, and a little container of ground coffee,
it makes for a dreamy, lazy morning & breakfast post-entertaining. So thoughtful.

A candle makes for a perfect, inexpensive gift.
I bet this scent is incredibly nostalgic.
