Mimosas, coffee, fresh baked breads &amp; pastries and fruit. I stay out of their kitchen, but relieve the host of at least one meal- food preparation &amp; clean up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-hostess-gift-for-the-holidays#post-1957038 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 19:14:55 +0000 Chuckles 1957038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm making homemade caramel corn for my sister and brother - in - law who are hosting us for thanksgiving. It's pretty easy to make a lot of it. Also they are gluten free, so it's hard to find treats to buy or make for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-hostess-gift-for-the-holidays#post-1957024 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 19:07:32 +0000 birdofafeather 1957024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lizzywiz: gluehwein! yum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-hostess-gift-for-the-holidays#post-1957012 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 18:57:07 +0000 blackbird 1957012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm picking up Christmassy tabletop Rosemary trees from trader joes :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-hostess-gift-for-the-holidays#post-1957004 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 18:41:26 +0000 MrsRcCar 1957004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lizzywiz: this!!

OMG so good! A bouquet of fresh flowers is nice too, or a wreath or fir swag if it's near the holiday season and they don't already have one </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-hostess-gift-for-the-holidays#post-1956975 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 18:19:20 +0000 HLK208 1956975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually bring a pointsetta and a box of homemade cookies or peppermint bark </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-hostess-gift-for-the-holidays#post-1956967 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 18:14:24 +0000 Little Misters Mom 1956967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks!

It works for brunch or dessert! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-hostess-gift-for-the-holidays#post-1956899 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 16:45:51 +0000 youboots 1956899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to say wine ;). Perhaps send a fancy Harry and David box prior to the time you arrive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-hostess-gift-for-the-holidays#post-1956896 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 16:44:00 +0000 Dandelion 1956896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cookies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-go-to-hostess-gift-for-the-holidays#post-1956888 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 16:29:24 +0000 lady grey 1956888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Little Misters Mom: usually wine or flowers/plant.

Plus, we're going to my aunt and uncle's house and staying 3 days so I think that requires a little more.</p> <p>What's your standard hostess gift or are you doing something special this year? </p>
