Simple Homey Gifts You May Consider
Tea towels
I personally can’t get enough of these beautifully designed towels. I think it’s fun to pick them up when traveling, to have on hand as a gift for a host, because of their unique variety. I love the Swedish designed ones – let’s face it, those Swedes are all about design in everything they do.
Serving spoons/forks
how many holiday dinners have you had to use an old soup spoon or burnt wooden spoon for the mashed potatoes because you needed one more serving utensil? I never buy them for myself and so wish I had more. ??·
an obvious choice, but who doesn’t love flowers? I think small bouquets are the nicest for dinner parties. Something as simple as hyacinth with a pretty ribbon tied around them.
with a pretty (perhaps jadeite) pie plate as part of the gift. Cobblers and crumbles are great for everyone to taste 
.
Whenever you ask “what can I bring?” and your host says “oh just yourself,” don’t believe it! Always bring something. Even if it’s a bottle of wine…NEVER go empty handed.
