When I am invited to someone's house, I am a stickler-probably more than I need to be-about taking a gift. Sometimes I scrounge around through the house to find something at the last minute. Lately, I have been keeping a small collection of little gifts I can take to someone's house or visits to the hospital. It has been a life-saver to have those things on hand.

Candles
Homemade quick bread
Home or specialty canned foods
