1. A cheery bottle topper to dress up that bottle of wine you've had for months and finally found a use for as a hostess gift. But how will they use it again? They too can later use it on a dusty bottle of wine for a hostess gift!
2. And a bottle of the finest pup-friendly champagne so everyone in the host family is well-occupied.
3. A scrumptious-smelling candle for enjoying the party's baked leftovers with a convincing fresh-from-the-oven smell lingering in the background.
4. A set of drink coasters nearly as cute and thirsty as you'll feel checking the Facebook event guest list for potential suitors.
5. A gorgeous bouquet with same-day delivery to send ahead of time because you'd rather not bother with nestling a vase en route.
6. An adorable holiday cactus that absolutely truly undoubtedly WON'T die on your host because they don't need to water it. Ever!
7. A charming investment they'll drain by the end of the night, but it's totally fine.
8. A rich AF napkin set so they can incur even more envy from the haters on their Insta stories. Also, they asked you to bring napkins.
9. A lightning cable to help prevent their phone from running out of juice while they're managing a Spotify playlist and everyone's texting them with last-minute party questions.
10. A hilarious *adult* party game to fill in those awkward silences when there's a group of people who don't know each other that well.
11. A hand-carved clip as a step above their average chip clip that has the name of the local bank on it and mysteriously appeared in the junk drawer ages ago.
12. A pack of gorgeous thank you cards for the stationery fiend who you know will start on their thank you notes for hostess gifts the next morn.
13. A beautifully designed nutcracker and some nuts to crack with it. After all, those decorative ones aren't reliable for actually cracking nuts. (I've tried many times, much to my mother's annoyance.)
14. A cozy throw blanket from the Chip and Joanna Gaines Target collection to lend all the Fixer Upper vibes to your friend who never shuts up about shiplap.
15. A bamboo bath caddy for the ultimate in post-party relaxation.
16. And a set of sheet masks that only look like a million bucks so everyone in the host fam can get in on some peak pampering on the day after.
17. A red wine stain remover people swear by because no matter how many precautions are taken, accidents can and will happen! And probably at *this* party!
18. A gourmet food basket with both sweet and savory goodies to satisfy all kinds of post-party cravings.
19. A four-pack of heat-resistant mats they can use for resting hot casseroles now, pulling dishes out of the oven later.
20. A ~luxury~ pump hand soap for helping replenish the host's hand soap supply that guests are sure to deplete during the shindig.
21. A charming photo frame to commemorate the party. But for now, you can pre-fill with a pic of you and the host or a pretty card.
22. And a monogram mug that, yes, is from Anthro but whatever you don't really even like them anyway. Or maybe they collect monogram coffee mugs and this can go on their special shelf?!
