Summertime entertaining is one of my very favorite things; I love having friends and family over to enjoy the beautiful weather! We live in a colder climate, so we don’t have very many months of nice weather. I like to take advantage and celebrate the warm days we do get!
Even more fun, is when a neighbor or friend invites us over for a BBQ or party at their house! “What can we bring!?” is always an immediate follow up question to an invite, and is a great way to offer a helping hand!
If your host replies that they don’t need anything, you might be left wondering what you can bring as a thank you for hosting? I’m not against going to a party empty handed, after all, helping out with cleanup is the ultimate hostess gift! However, if you’d like to bring something... but aren’t quite sure what to reach for, here are some of my favorite hostess gifts that are sure to be loved by anyone!
