We have a few busy weeks ahead of us, celebrating Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and all of the parties and gatherings in between. So today I thought I would share a few of my favorite hostess gifts just in case you want to make or pick up a few on Black Friday.

Salted Dark Chocolate Fudge Sauce |
Personally, I love homemade gifts, like Union Square Bar Nuts, or Dark Chocolate Fudge Sauce, peanut brittle or my all time favorite cranberry apple chutney. Wine and flowers are always nice too.
