A hostess gift doesn’t have to be extravagant, but a little creativity will help make the gift special. Martha likes to give gifts from her garden: flowers, either alone or arranged in a hollowed gourd; jam made with fruits from her garden; freshly picked apples or even a pumpkin in season; a special dessert like beautiful cookies in a tin, or pecan squares. Remember, bringing your hostess a gift fresh from your home or garden is always thoughtful and always greatly appreciated.
