1. A good hand soap, preferably one that is a foaming hand soap. Bath and Body makes some great ones. I like Freshwater Cucumber because it is a light scent that both men and women would like. There is also passion fruit, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, and black raspberry vanilla. You can also get soaps at Williams-Sonoma.
2. How about 2 thick, substantial dish towels? You could even pair this with the hand soap or pair it with a great mix for muffins, scones or bread. Even if your host is not a cook, a mix is always easy. Williams-Sonoma, or even your local grocery store has gourmet ones.
3. How about personalized bath hand towels with their initial? You can get these at any bath shop or finer dept. stores. This can be coupled with some special bar soap or shower gel.
4. How about a CD of the person’s favorite artist? Or, a compilation of some great jazz or country tunes? Or, a great DVD of their favorite movie? A DVD can be accompanied by gourmet popcorn and a great bowl. How about some moose munch popcorn from Harry and David?
5. Food is always a good choice but how about something the person wouldn’t buy for themselves normally? Expensive chocolates, gourmet potato chips, special ice cream or gelato (if not a far drive). What about pricey fresh fruit, a good smoked salmon or special cheese?
6. Of course, the proverbial bottle of wine is always a good choice. But, how about a special liqueur, extra special bottle of tequila or vodka, gourmet beer (that the person wouldn’t normally buy for themselves)? For an alcoholic free treat, sparkling juice or non-alcoholic beer? Gourmet coffee?
7. Good candles are always a nice gift. The beeswax ones are great as they are non-drip. A Yankee candle in a special scent is always nice. Or, what about those new flameless candles that look like a candle but are really a battery operated light?
8. A live plant is always nice. Go one step further…a bamboo practically takes care of itself), a bonsai tree, a flowering plant in season, such as a Christmas cactus, a beautiful mum for fall, a daisy or hydrangea for spring?
9. Great wineglasses or martini glasses, a special platter, a cute candy dish or nice vase.
10. How about a special cake or gourmet bakery from the best bakery in town?
