Private Beach Club BBQ--Gift Ideas?

Question

Some friends of ours have invited us to a bbq at a beach club. The club/restaurant will be doing the cooking. We'd like to take a gift for our friends but have no idea what to give them since we're not going to be at their house. The beach club/restaurant will be providing all the food, drinks, and entertainment so taking wine or dessert doesn't seem right.

Our friends have 2 young children who will also be attending the bbq. I thought maybe a gift for the kids would be the way to go...but again i can't think of anything. The kids are ares 2 (girl) and 5 (boy).

Any ideas on a hostess gift when the hosts invited us to a 3rd party event?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I would take them a fruit basket with a bottle of wine, that way they can enjoy it later.

Answer 2

Since you will not being going to their house for the party you actually should "NOT" take a gift to the BBQ, BUT....you should after wards "hand deliver"a lovely hand written Thank You Card and a nice bottle of wine or a "treat" that the entire family can enjoy such as a "dessert".  If you enjoyed their company a "further" invitation of dinner at your house would be even more on point.  It's reciprocating and I am sure they will enjoy it.

Peace & Love :)
