Should I take a hostess gift to a New Year's Eve party, even if I don't know the hostess very well?
A hostess gift doesn'tt have to be expensive, but it should be thoughtful. Consider the types of activities your hosts enjoy, and gift accordingly. As a general rule, your budget should be around $15 to $30, depending upon the formality of the occasion. An important rule to remember is that you should never bring anything that makes more work for your hosts. The best example is that of flowers: If you bring a cello-wrapped bouquet, your hostess must stop what she is doing, find a vase, trim the ends from the flowers and greenery, arrange the bouquet, and find a place for it. If youre giving flowers, be sure to bring a bouquet that is already arranged in a vase.

Why at wedding showers do they ask you to bring a small kitchen gadget in addition to your gift from the registry?
Asking a guest who is already giving a gift at a wedding shower to bring a small kitchen gadget in addition is a very odd request and not the norm. Perhaps the hostess is thinking of some sort of game to play and the bride to be gets to keep the kitchen gadgets after the game is over. If this was the case then the hostess should have communicated to the guests this would be part of a game played at the shower. If this is not the case then it is very rude for the hostess to ask any guest to buy a small kitchen gadget in addition to a gift already bought for the bride to be.
