Gifts for the Host
By Halle Cook Published October 2020
Mama taught us to never arrive somewhere empty-handed. The hostess may have the mostest, but we promise they won’t mind an extra bottle (or two). If you’ve been invited to a last-minute gathering, don’t stress about what to bring. We’ve got awesome options that will delight the host as much as your company.
The Glengarry Blended Scotch Whisky | $16.99 ($18.99 reg. price)
Scotch off your other ideas on the gift list and go with this flavorful bottle. The Glengarry Blended Scotch Whisky will provide your host with notes of toffee and citrus followed by a smooth finish with a mild peat. This thoughtful present won’t break your bank at only $16.99, but still lets the receiver know how much you care. The thought does count but, in this case, the taste counts more.
JAJA Tequila Blanco with Game | $35.99
Our reindeer games include tequila and we bet your host would enjoy that as well.
