I’ve been thinking a lot lately about hostess gifts and tokens of appreciation as we’re in the final stretch of planning our wedding and trying to figure out what we’d like to do for favors. While casual dinner parties are obviously much different in scope than a wedding, it’s gotten me thinking about what we bring with us when we go to visit friends and family — and how nice it is to break out of the ‘bottle of wine routine.’ While wine is often a safe bet and often very much appreciated, it can become a bit expected, and it’s fun to shake things up a bit, too.
