Things My Mother Told Me

My mother was a pretty wise woman and her advice was usually spot on. She told me to treat other people in the way I wanted to be treated, not to try and solve difficulties at night when I was tired, to always bring a hostess gift when I arrived, and write a thank you note after every occasion.

As I was walking around the garden center today I was mulling the hostess gift advice. Thanksgiving is right around the corner and many people will be following my mother’s guidance and searching for a little something to take to those hosting their holiday dinner. Here are a few suggestions that are sure to please.
