Gifts to Bring as Thank You Gifts when Staying with Friends
Here are some ideas on some unique thank you gifts to give:
A basket of wine
Yes, many guests may consider bringing a bottle of wine. However, your friends are going out of their way to help you. Don't stop with one bottle. Make it a few bottles.
Fix up a nice basket of breakfast fixings
When Sunday arrives you should offer to cook for your hostess. You should also come prepared with the major ingredients. Fix up a basket and add: a box of waffle mix, a couple bottles of syrup and a nice package of gourmet coffee.
Invite your hostess to the beach and give her a tote filled goody bag to take along
If there is a beach in the vicinity, surely you plan on enjoying it. Be sure to invite your hostess to go with you and give her a tote bag filled with beach goodies. Add to the bag: beach towels, sun tanning lotion, a good romantic book to read, sunglasses, etc.
Fix up a rainy night entertainment box
Someday it will rain. Make sure when it comes, your hostess is prepared for a night of fun. Add to the box: a couple of fun DVD's, a couple of board games, some popcorn, some boxed candy and a new deck of cards.
A basket filled with candles
Don't know your hostess favorite flavors of candles? Do not worry. Just pick out a variety of scents and include four to six candles and place them in a pretty basket. Now your hostess will prepared if the lights go out or if she just wants to enjoy a nice scent.
If you show your hostess how much you appreciate her allowing you to stay with her and if you are a gracious and good guest, you may be invited again. Plus, it never hurts to give a nice gift, too.
