Do you find yourself going to dinner parties and having no idea what it bring the hostess? Ok, you don't need to bring something to every freaking dinner you attend, but sometimessss we have to impress. So - what do you bring? This is something I ask myself, so I took a hint from Veranda this month and came up with my own list of fabulous, affordable gifts for a hostess you don't know very well to your closest girlfriend.
