2. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey they'll instantly get hooked on (so feel free to bring two).
3. A marble crock that'll not only keep the wine cool but will also look attractive on any table. Bonus: it can also be an elegant utensil holder for the non-wine drinker.
4. A literary cocktail book so they're never out of clever drink ideas, from Romeo and Julep to The Pitcher of Dorian Grey Goose.
5. A small but mighty knife sharpener, because if your host is preparing a meal for everyone, the least you could do is make sure they have sharp, fast knives!
6. A copy of Magnolia Table (by interior design whiz Joanna Gaines) to give them plenty of tasty ideas for the next dinner party.

10. Or, a candle with location-based scents to remind them of their hometown. Bonus: it'll get people talking about their own hometowns.

The set comes with 54 blocks, simple instructions, and a convenient box so they'll never lose any pieces.
18. A set of woven cotton coasters that'll actually absorb condensation and protect their expensive wood table from watermarks. They'll also double as pot holders and trivets.
19. An Instax camera for a great way to document each party — everyone can take home photos as a keepsake (and the rest the host can keep and make into an album).
20. A ~bouquet~ of wine charms so each guest can pick their own flower and no one will accidentally drink someone else's merlot. Unlike a real bouquet, it'll last forever.
21. Uno splash cards made from plastic so their cards remain ~unbowed, unbent, and unbroken.~ If they get a little dirty, they can just wash the waterproof cards off! The laminate even has a built in hole so they can hook them to the included clip! Presenting their next problem to solve: whether or not stacking +4 cards is cheating.
