When to give a hostess gift basket or gift

There is no right or wrong time to give a hostess a gift. There are certain times that it would be more expected to give a gift versus casual get-togethers where it is not expected. If you are unsure of when to present a hostess with a gift use the list below to help you decide:

A housewarming party- when friends move into a new home, a housewarming gift for the hostess of the home is a great way to welcome them into their new home.
A holiday party- a holiday party is also a great time to provide a gift.. This can be around Thanksgiving or Christmas for example. Usually the host of holiday parties put a lot of effort and detail into planning these so as a gesture of appreciation, giving a gift is a great way to thank your hostess.
An engagement party/bridal shower- it is customary at engagement parties and bridal showers to give the new couple a gift.
Whenever you feel grateful- there is no right or wrong time to give a hostess a gift. This can be a simple basket just as a thank you to someone for an invitation or a backyard bbq or just because you were thinking of them.

Bringing a gift when you are attending a function at someone else’s home, a hostess gift basket or any hosting gift is a great way to say thank you for all of your effort put into this event and allowing me to attend. Not only is it a way to say thank you, bringing the host a gift can show gratitude, is part of cultural etiquette, is a way to celebrate a special occasion, and to create a new traditions.
