Go beyond the same old Bordeaux and bring your favorite hostess a more memorable gift this year. (It's guaranteed to pay off in future invites.)
The holidays are the perfect chance to unplug and reconnect to friends in real life. Getting an invite to a party is a sweet and special opportunity — one that is worth taking advantage of, no matter how booked up and busy you are. And, let's face it, your host is invariably just as slammed to begin with, and now has turned up their own busy-ness factor to ten by being the gathering guru.
So, to honor your host, bring them an extra-special something. Getting them a gift that is personal, chosen just for them and unique is totally worth it — and it doesn't really take any longer than stopping off at the wine store or florist, as long as you plan (and order) ahead. So take a few minutes now to put in an order for your generous hosts and surprise them with something truly memorable this season: It'll make them feel great and, as a bonus, will guarantee your spot at the top of the guest list for their next fabulous soiree, too!
