Although fun to host a Thanksgiving or holiday dinner, being a guest is preferred by many. If you will be a dinner guest this holiday season, bringing a thoughtful hostess gift is always appreciated. A favorite bottle of wine, homemade baked goods or a lovely bouquet of flowers are tried and true hostess gifts and will certainly be well received. However, if you are running short on time or want to bring something a little different this year, here are my top ten stylish hostess gifts under $40:
