Thanksgiving Is Better With Gifts For The Hostess

Give a hostess gift and get some love.

So you wanna make a good impression with his mama this Thanksgiving? Why not bring something to the holiday celebration.

Ordinarily, we’d suggest you contribute to the meal, but if you haven’t already discussed bringing food, we say don’t. Your unintended dish might throw off her perfectly planned dinner. Not a great way to start the day.

Instead, bring a house-warming gift. They’re fun, thoughtful, and best of all, they're just for the hostess. Give one, and you'll get brownie points with mom.  

Spend time getting to know his family with the Thanksgiving Box of Questions. Play this game, and maybe they’ll forget to ask the dreaded “What are you thankful for,” question during dinner. ($20, uncommongoods.com)

No doubt his mom will fall in love with you when you present her with the Autumn Harvest Crate from Dylan’s Candy Bar. After a big bite of gingerbread and a sip of hot chocolate, she’ll surely make room for you in her heart.

Get in good with Grandpa, and the whole family will love you. Do it by bringing apple cider spiked with Williams-Sonoma Mulling Spices. Toast to good health and family and you'll having them singing your praises in no time.
