Parties may feel like a thing of the past. But, if you are planning a get-together this year, just be sure to consider that there is a global pandemic in full swing. If you’re attending a party this season, make sure you follow safety measures and wear your mask. With that being said, parties are nothing without guests, and if you want to be great one, you’ll need to look beyond simply RSVP’ing in a timely manner. You’ll want to show up on time, leave with a graceful goodbye and, if you want to go the extra mile, send a thank you note to the host.

Of course, a great guest never shows up at a party empty-handed. Below are a few gift ideas you can bring that will wow the host and likely get you invited to another.

Bring Alcohol

Alcohol, such as wine, champagne, beer, or quality hard liquor is almost always going to be a gift that your host will welcome. If you already know what kind of alcohol your host prefers, your job is easy. However, if you’re not sure, there’s nothing wrong with phoning your host to ask beforehand if there is any particular beverage that will enhance the food or the party itself.

Bring Food

If your host is holding a potluck, they might ask you to bring something specific or provide you with a list of things they need from which you can choose. Of course, if the get-together isn’t a potluck, you can still bring something edible to the party. If the party is a formal dinner or is being catered, you may want to bring something that’s ready to serve.

Bring A Gift for the Host

Most hosts will probably be delighted with anything you bring, you don’t need to bring something expensive to be a gracious guest. If your host advises you not to bring anything for the party itself, you can always bring a small gift to thank the host for your invitation. Wine glasses, cookbooks, fashionable napkins, can all make great gifts, but if you really want to “wow” your host, try Jessie’s Nutty Cups.

Our peanut butter cups come in a variety of flavors, all of which are made in-house from our own roasted peanuts. We use the roasted peanuts to make our peanut butter and then pair it with delicious Belgian chocolate, elevating our peanut butter cups far above the competition.

If you’ve been invited to a party and you’re not sure what to bring, try bringing Jessie’s Nutty Cups. Your host will surely love them.
