Do you have a friend that is inviting you to their home for Memorial Day Weekend?  If they invite you over to explore their digs, don’t forget to bring a gift!

Cocktail Napkins

Instead of just getting them funky cutting boards or candles, try something a bit more unique. Pick up some fun embroidered cocktail napkins like the below lobster ones from Jacaranda Living. They are not only decorative but they’ll also get the host and other guests excited for summer and the festive long weekend. These cocktail napkins just scream summer, and there are plenty of other nautical embroidered designs to choose from if your host doesn’t like lobster.

Gift Cards

You may think getting your friend gift cards is impersonal or maybe even a bit tacky. In reality, it’s actually one of the best gifts you can give them. Give them gift cards to restaurants near their home, grocery stores, or even a specific gift card to their favorite store. If they aren’t fully happy with their home decor yet, you should look into getting some beautiful embroidered guest towels or unique boudoir pillows for their living room. Your host will be able to pick out exactly what they want and it’s not going to cost them any of their own money.

Flowers

If you’re running late to meet your friend at their house and have yet to give them a gift, a bouquet of flowers is never a bad idea. Flowers liven up any space and give it a welcoming vibe. You can even pair the flowers with a bottle of wine or terry guest towels so it’s a quick gift for both the house and host or hostess!

First Aid Kit

A first aid kit is one of the most practical things you can buy your friend for their new home, and it can really come in handy. Especially for a long weekend like Memorial Day Weekend or July 4th where your host will likely be hosting more than a few people. Anyone can easily knock into something or fall while enjoying a few cocktails or doing fun outdoor activities like corn hole and bocce. A first aid kit can be a big help in these situations, as the host won’t be scrambling realizing they forgot to pick up some band-aids before his guests arrived.
Getting a gift for your host is a nice gesture. If you’re struggling trying to come up with a gift idea, take a look at few of the suggestions listed above!
