Friendsgiving host gifts

The Friendsgiving host is doing the most work for the least credit, so bring something they can keep for themselves. These run about $20 to $40, they are in stock, and each one ships from the person who made it: a four-cheese Wisconsin sampler, a box of pecan pralines, a three-honey tasting flight, a chili oil set.

8 picks, in stock today. Each ships straight from its maker.

Bring a gift and a dish, not one or the other

At a potluck your dish feeds the table. The gift is for the host, so it should be something that keeps: honey, pralines, tea, a spice or chili set. Cheese works if you hand it over to put out that night.

Match it to the host

Cooks get pantry things like chili oil or a chili seasoning box. People with a sweet tooth get pralines or cookies. If you do not know them well, honey and tea are hard to get wrong.

Good to know

Do you bring a gift to Friendsgiving?

It is a nice move if someone is hosting, even if you are also bringing a dish. Something small that keeps, in the $20 to $40 range, is plenty.

How much should a Friendsgiving host gift cost?

Most people spend $20 to $40. Everything on this page sits in that range before shipping.

Will it get there before Thanksgiving?

Each maker ships on its own schedule, and the product page says what that maker can do. Shelf-stable items are the safest bet close to the day. If timing matters, order early so it arrives a few days ahead.

How does shipping work?

Each maker packs and ships its own items, so shipping is each maker's own rate, shown at checkout, usually $8 to $15 for one item. Anything else from the same maker goes in the same box. Perishables like cheese go out Monday to Wednesday in insulated packaging.
