Most people that know me would describe me as a “modern woman.” I own every Apple product, I’m a Google-holic, I do all of my holiday shopping via Amazon and most times, i’d rather text than talk on the phone. However, i’m still an old-fashioned Southern girl in many ways. I believe in proper table manners (ELBOWS OFF THE TABLE!), I still hand write thank you notes, and I think social grace and etiquette is a must. If you’re planning to visit friends or family for the weekend or you plan to attend any holiday parties, don’t show up empty-handed. A small gift is the perfect way to thank your hostess for the invite and their hospitality. Check out these unique hostess gifts that will get you invited back.
