Hopefully by now we all know you should never show up to dinner at a friend’s house empty handed (if you do, kudos to your parents for raising you well). And we’ve got to admit that we’ve gotten pretty stuck in a routine with the gift we give always our hostess: wine. Yes it’s a classic choice, but if you’re wanting to think outside the box for the next get-together you attend in someone’s home, we’ve rounded up a few options that are arguably just as good as a bottle of vino. From cozy and pampering goodies to culinary treats, these gifts are guaranteed to make any hostess’ casa just a little more lovely.
