Prepared shortlist
A thank-you for your host
Bring something that fits the evening without asking your host to stop cooking, find a vase or redesign the table.
Before choosing a shape
- Would a table arrangement fit their plans, or would it get in the way?
- Can the gift arrive ready to place, with its own vessel?
- Are there household preferences, pets or scents to discuss with the florist?

The right gesture may be something you say or do, with no bouquet at all.
The tradeoff: It asks for personal thought rather than a larger spend. Offer something specific, with an easy way to decline.
