A small hostess gift–usually a small extravagance your hostess wouldn’t buy for herself–is considered appropriate to bestow when you first walk into a dinner party. Thoughtful and useful, hostess gifts reflect your good taste and appreciation. If you know your hostess well, you might focus on a favorite hobby, trip, culinary interest or even a sport she likes. Perhaps gardening essentials, Eiffel tower ring holders, a market tote from New Orleans or a runner’s cookbook? If you don’t know your hostess very well, fresh flowers are lovely but if you’re looking for something different, a Clipa purse hanger might be ideal. Clever and simple, it’s something she’ll use for years. In fact, this elegant but sturdy “can’t lose” purse hook will probably outlast her handbag. For that special hostess, a Clipa purse hanger is a memorable way to say “thank you for a wonderful evening.” To see the latest styles, click on the image or visit www.clipa.us
