Hi,

I accepted an invitation for a bunch without thinking through how much stress this will cause me.
Is brunch usually before noon ??!!
I think you might have some good ideas about what I can bring as a hostess gift.

What I cannot bring:
1. I cannot bring any food items. She and her husband are foodies.
He is a chef. She has a refined palate. Any food I bring would be lame.

2. I cannot bring any tchotchkes or knickknacks. It's a second marriage and she has complained about having too much junk in the condo.

What I could bring:
1. I love when someone brings me cut flowers. They would work for an evening event but I cannot go to the florist in the early AM before the brunch.

2. I could bring a plant.

3. I thought of a cute book.

This web site suggests
-- soap
-- candles
-- decorative hand towels

The same web site says that Emily Post says I do not have to bring anything to a brunch. I want to bring something.


Thank you.
