Hostess gifts were not common in the Midwest (at least where I grew up) but they are very common here in the South. I would venture to say almost expected, though I certainly don't expect one when I entertain. I love your list of ideas. I have a drawer in one of my wine buffets for my hostess gift stash... already wrapped with a blank notecard attached. I grab one on the way out the door and write a short note on the drive!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786838392389718536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-29204426012458253332007-10-31T09:57:00.000-07:002007-10-31T09:57:00.000-07:00I was absolutely surprised when I found this delig...I was absolutely surprised when I found this delightful package at my door a couple of days ago!

Plus we've received recently a bottle of wine in a fancy box, and homemade bread.
