"What most of us have in common is that our mothers taught us never to arrive at a party empty-handed," says Bari Fagin of Bed Bath & Beyond.

With the holiday entertaining season in full swing, Fagin offers these gift ideas for your host and hostess.

    * Don't just bring a great bottle of wine.  Include a unique rapid wine
      chiller. Your hosts will be impressed with its various settings and
      ability to chill any vintage perfectly.

    * Don't just bring the dessert.  Bring something to serve it on as well. A
      gift-boxed, 16-piece dessert set comes in great colors and patterns to
      complement any host's table.

    * Don't forget to celebrate last year's holidays.  Photo coasters and
      serving trays that enable you to insert your favorite snapshots will let
      your host serve this year's tasty treats along with last year's
      memories.

    * Don't forget about your host's tired feet.  The gift of a soothing leg
      and foot massager that kneads tired leg muscles and improves circulation
      will be a welcomed treat when the party is over.

And, for the hosts who love to shop for themselves, don't forget a Bed Bath & Beyond Gift Card. A great host is always planning for the next event and at Bed Bath & Beyond they will find the hottest gadgets and the best assortment for this holiday entertaining season or the next.
