There are so many celebratory house parties this weekend leading up to New Year's Eve which means more drinking and more social time with people you like. You know it's going to be a good time and you want to show your appreciation for the host, who has opened up their house, heart and fridge for all these people. What do you get for a hostess gift? Here are our suggestions, starting with something to keep pie safe, moving on to games and drinking accessories and finishing with decor that keeps the house smelling nice. All make great gifts and are sold at shops just a stone's throw down the street. Ah, and don't worry, we made sure everybody has gift wrapping.
