A gift guide for the host with the most, who can throw together a wonderful dinner in mere hours and who always welcomes another plate at the table. I particularly looked to find gifts that will add to your friend's entertaining arsenal to be used year after year and that will guarantee you a place at the party for life.
For more host/hostess gifts, check out last year's guide as well as here and here.
1. Cocktail napkins- Pretty napkins for the next soiree.
2. John Derian round plate- A great little round dish to keep by the foyer to drop keys, spare coins, etc.

6. Vacuum wine stopper- Keeps the last opened bottle of the night good for dinner the next day.
7. Happy goat caramels- For anyone who loves goat cheese.
