We’ve all experienced it at some point.Your going to a party and no matter how hard you try, you cannot think of a suitable present to take. There is almost an unwritten rule that says you have to take something in return for them hosting the party and inviting you but sometimes its hard to know what they would like. Here are 3 suggestions that will always go down well and mean you will surely be invited back.

Wine. This is the most obvious gift and a very safe option. Some may argue that it is a little boring but just think, no one has ever been unhappy to be given a bottle. You should make the wine slightly more personal though by selecting one that you enjoy yourself or a wine that you picked up on holiday. This will show that the gift is a little more thoughtful and plus it will have a story that you can talk about. If the host doesnt like wine, then how about a bottle of whisky and a whisky glass set?

Dinnerware. This is not as common a gift as wine as people sometimes think they will have to buy their host a whole set if they choose dinnerware as a gift. There are a good many stand alone pieces of dinnerware however that are not too expensive and make great presents. Why not go for a nice serving plate, champagne cooler or fruit bowl. If youre really struggling then anything crystal glass makes a quality present.

Quirky gifts. If you fancy offering something out of the norm, opt for some that is cheap and fun. fun gift are always well received and because they are cheap, it doesn’t matter too much if the receiver does not hang on to them. How about some light-up ice cubes that people can put in their drinks, or some funky tumblers which that change colour with the temperature of a drink. Its more the gesture that counts with party gifts so whatever you do, don’t spend too much time worrying about it
