25 perfect hostess gifts under $30

Whether you're heading to a friend's summer home or a backyard dinner party this weekend, you'll need to bring your host or hostess a little token of appreciation. Your host will usually have wine and food covered (though a gracious guest always asks what he or she can bring), so instead, come with something a little outside the box. While flowers always bring a smile, there are many gifts (under $30!) that will keep your hostess smiling long after the blooms fade. Before setting out to find the perfect token of appreciation, think about your hosts' taste and the things they love, because a gift that shows you know your host surpasses any other—and bonus points if it's something they actually need. From gardening to post-party R&R, we've outlined 25 perfect hostess gifts, all under $30.
