What is a hostess gift and do you really have to give someone something when they invite you to their house for a holiday party? A hostess gift is a nice little present that shows you appreciate being included in the part, and yes, your Tia Titi says you have to give one to the hostess of a party. You'll notice this list doesn't include wine, which is unusual for me, but it's too obvious. These gifts are different and much more special.

HOSTESS GIFTS, REALLY?
It might seem old fashioned but if you go to a summer barbeque at a friend's house, you probably bring along a bag of chips or a six-pack of beer don't you? Same thing at the holidays, but here are a few things that are a little fancier and make you look super cool.

1. Abuelita hot chocolate and two fancy mugs - A box or two of instant Abuelita hot chocolate and two pretty mugs will give your hostess and significant other something to look forward to after all their guests leave.
