Summertime is the perfect time for social gatherings. You may enjoy hosting some of these events yourself, but getting an invitation to someone else’s get-together can be even more fun. You don’t have to do the work—all you have to do is show up!
Going empty-handed isn’t very neighborly, though. You may ask what you can bring, but many hosts will kindly say to just bring yourself. If you’d still like to take a little something to thank your host for the event, we’ve got some of our favorite hostess gifts for you here.

A candle makes a good gift for almost anyone, so if you’re not sure what to take, try this Capri blue candle from Anthropologie.

Enjoy traces of tropical fruits, sugared oranges, lemons, and limes, with a hint of exotic mountain greens.
