Tis the season for those great holiday parties. They are fun to attend, and the hosts went to a great deal of trouble to make it a memorable event for you. So, yes, it’s only polite to take the host a gift along to show how much you appreciate the invitation. But as you’re rushing out the door to get to that party, that’s when you remember that you don’t have a gift on hand – except for that old bottle of wine that’s been sitting on the shelf since you threw a party.
Hostess gifts don’t have to be a hastle. When you are putting together your Christmas list, add a couple of hostess gifts to that list. Even if you haven’t received an invitation, you’ll have something on hand without having to take an extra trip to the mall.
Some ideas for that list would include bar or wine accessories, such as wine stoppers, coasters, or bottle openers. Or you could go beyond bar and party and go for the pampering theme. Ideas would include scented soaps or candles. Every hostess could use a bit of rest and relaxation after throwing a party.
So don’t go to your next holiday party with the standard bottle of wine, or worse, nothing at all. Plan ahead and really show your hosts how much you appreciate their invitation.

My Dad’s birthday is coming up soon. And yes, he is like most dads in that it’s almost impossible to think of a gift for him. If he sees something he likes or wants, he simply buys it.
But this year, my mom came up with an idea. Since my dad retired a few years ago, he likes to observe a “cocktail hour”. Every day at 4:00, he stops whatever it is he’s doing, and relaxes with a cocktail. This observance is less about the drink itself than it is about marking the end of the day and getting prepared to enjoy his evening. He no longer has to take kids to games and activities, he doesn’t have to work late, or any of those things that used to stretch his day past a traditional 8 hours. So why not relax and enjoy the twilight hours. (Yes, I’m green with envy!)
So, back to the gift idea. My mom suggested I get him some stemless martini glasses. Have you seen those? It’s the latest thing in “stemware”. I don’t know about you, but I have broken several wine glasses (some of them were antiques) at the stem. So, this new idea of stemless wine glasses and cocktail glasses is a great idea. I have a suspicion that this makes my mom’s life easier since cleaning up will be less of a hastle. But if Mom is happy, Dad is happy. And I want my Dad to be happy on his birthday!
