3 Things to Bring to The Next Get Together That Are Not Rosé

Not sure what to bring to the next get-together? Whether it is a family or casual get-together, it is courteous to get a nice gift for the host, but what you bring to the table should go beyond a bottle of wine. Being on good behavior and on time are equally valuable guest etiquette.

If you know the host well, you should bring gifts that cater to their tastes.

1. Plant in a decorative pot

If the host is a plant-enthusiast, consider bringing a house plant in a decorative pot or send it in advance via a florist. Having the plant potted will spare your host the struggle of having to find a pot and transplanting the plant. In addition, gifting the host an indoor plant such as the spider plant is a sign of acknowledging that they have a nurturing nature.

2. Basket of homemade treats, such as muffins, cheese, cookies, or candies

If you already know what kind of treats your host prefers, your job is easy. However, if you are unsure, you can call your host to ask beforehand. These tasty goodies and delightful gourmets are an inexpensive and tasteful way to appreciate your host.

3. Board Games

Playing games is more than just fun and games. Board games such as chess, scrabble, monopoly, and puzzles are ideal for cultivating creative and strategic thinking, teamwork and cooperation, and of course, provide an opportunity to connect with your friends and family deeply.
