Worried about showing up to that next party empty-handed? Rachael's got a few gift ideas that your host or hostess will love and that will ensure that you'll be invited back to the next event.

Fresh Herb Topiary

Topiaries are great gifts for any time of year and you can buy any size. They last a long time and smell fabulous. They're especially good gifts if your host loves to cook because you can use the sprigs of basil in your recipes!

Cheeseboard with Stinky Cheese

Any host would be thrilled to have a little something extra to put out for guests. Present your host with a cheeseboard and a few varieties of cheese, which is like a gift to everyone at the party. Try a selection of these cheeses: Talleggio, Meadow Creek Grayson, Landhaus Limburger and Oka.

Music Mix and Candles

Take the time to make a little party music for your host and add some votive candles to help set the mood for the evening.
