Host And Hostess Gifts Made Easy
(NC)—As the holidays draw near, many people will be receiving invitations from family, friends and neighbours to get together for some holiday cheer. Proper etiquette is to bring a little something for the host or hostess. The holiday gift team at Canadian Tire has a few suggestions on how to pick a special something for the gracious host.
• Often people bring a bottle of wine. Why not complement it with wine charms, festive swizzle sticks or a wine topper? All are decorative and functional.
• Figure out how your host or hostess likes to spend their time. For example, if they entertain often, get something they can use when preparing or serving food and drinks. Canadian Tire carries a line-up of stainless steel bar accessories like bottle openers, drink shakers and ice buckets, as well as serving dishes and platters.
• Find out your host's favourite scent and pick up a candle, candle centrepiece, or scented oil in their favourite scent.
• Bring along a decorative picture frame, photo album or photo box for the host to store holiday season memories.
• Think about your host's hobbies when shopping and stop by a store like Canadian Tire that has pre-wrapped gift baskets and themed gifts for the cook, do-it-yourselfer, automotive, golf or hockey enthusiast.

Passing on values of giving back to make the world a better place can be a challenge, especially with the pressure of holiday expectations. However, “Kids get pleasure from seeing someone else happy,” says Charles A.
