1. A set of very modern looking geometric trays that they can use to serve (and thoroughly impress) guests with.
2. A roasted garlic aioli that overly enthusiastic condiment lovers (aka us here at BuzzFeed) all swear by. This could easily make for a great dipping sauce when served with snacks.
3. A pack of super-strong magnets, which will keep their beer/soda cold and handy for whenever the homies raid their fridge.
4. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey they'll instantly get hooked on (so feel free to bring two).
5. A copy of Magnolia Table (by interior design whiz Joanna Gaines) to give them plenty of tasty ideas for the next dinner party.
6. A three-tier bamboo storage box for the gourmet salt enthusiast.
7. 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.
8. A candle with location-based scents to remind them of their hometown. Bonus: it'll get people talking about their own hometowns.
9. An aerator set to make young wines taste smooth in a matter of minutes.
10. A set of diamond pens they can use to jot down details for the next ~glamorous~ get-together.
11. A sturdy, stainless steel cheese slicer because slicing cheese for a party of 10+ is tiring as heck.
12. An infusion pitcher so they'll always have a refreshing fruit-flavored drink in the fridge ready for guests.
13. 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.
14. An Instax camera for a great way to document each party — everyone can take home photos as a keepsake (and the rest the hostess can keep and make into an album).
15. 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.
16. A set of metallic cocktail spoons that'll make a perfect addition to their bar cart.
17. A gorgeous pack of playing cards featuring illustrations of famous musicians they'll want to show off to all their guests. People might be too intrigued by the actual cards to focus on a game of poker, though.
18. A mini popcorn machine to take their movie nights to the next level.
19. A box of literary-themed postcards so they can stay in touch with long-distance friends who couldn't make it to the party.
20. A modern brass-finish photo frame they'll be glad to display on the mantel or console table.
21. A bamboo cutting board with interchangeable, color-coded cutting mats so food prep will be a breeze.
22. A pair of ~paw-some~ cotton oven mitts that won't just protect their hands, they'll look cute hanging in the kitchen.
23. A murder mystery game guaranteed to yield a night of fun. It includes instructions, recipes, character profiles, costume ideas, and more.
24. A pack of wine markers for labeling anything from glasses to cheese plates.
25. A Bluetooth speaker so they can move the background music from room to room without worrying about wires.
26. A small but mighty knife sharpener because if your hostess is preparing a meal for everyone, the least you could do is make sure they have sharp, fast knives!
27. A pour-over coffee maker even the pickiest caffeine addict can appreciate.
28. A set of whiskey cubes that'll chill their liquor without diluting it.
29. A box of conversation topic cards to help strangers break the ice and old friends learn new things about each other.
30. A pair of alpaca cookie cutters any baker ~wool~ be obsessed with. The best part is you'll get to enjoy the finished product when they invite you over for afternoon tea.
31. A literary cocktail book so they're never out of clever drink ideas, from Romeo and Julep to The Pitcher of Dorian Grey Goose.
32. A cast iron skillet that'll come in handy for both brunch and dinner.
