Hostess Gifts

If you want to bring a hostess gift to the next holiday dinner, think embroidery. A set of embroidered or in-the-hoop coasters are sure to be appreciated. Hand towels or napkins can be embroidered with a monogram or a holiday motif. If you bring a house plant, add an in-the-hoop decoration. If you bring wine, make an embroidered bag or tie a freestanding lace ornament around the neck. Embroidered toilet paper is sure to bring a laugh. Make a special ornament for the Christmas tree -- freestanding lace or in-the-hoop. Embroider a holiday bib for the new baby. Or make an in-the-hoop toy for the family pet.
