Gifts to Celebrate Friendsgiving

Friendsgiving combines the holiday of Thanksgiving with friendship gatherings on or near Thanksgiving Day. Celebrating genuine friendships with a special meal emphasizing fun and gratitude has become an important holiday Tradition. Often, the host or hostess will serve meal that is similar to a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but the menu can also include foods not traditionally served at this time of year. Here are some of the best host gifts to consider for this special holiday meal:

• Wine: As a show of appreciation for all the hard work that hosting a gathering entails, wine is a classic gift. For a special touch, look for a bottle from a local winery.
