What is a good hostess gift for Thanksgiving?
Something she can enjoy after the guests leave: a candle in a fall scent, a set of wine glasses, a chocolate bar or a cozy throw.
Should a hostess gift be opened at dinner?
No. Bring something she can set aside and enjoy later, so she doesn’t have to stop hosting to open it.
