If You’ve Been Asked to Bring a Dish, Should You Also Bring a Host Gift? Gifts are an acknowledgment that your host has gone to a lot of trouble to create their holiday party. Etiquette experts agree that a host gift is almost always a nice gesture, especially if you are going to someone’s house for the first time, says Parker. A hostess gift can be something homemade or relatively inexpensive, too, because this is one case where the cliche “it’s the thought that counts” really applies.

I bet this is someone new for I’ve never heard of this and I use to be an etiquette coach for over a decade plus! However, you can get anyone you want a gift!

I found this to be an interesting query. I am unsure if I would bring a host gift if I had to bring a dish to a part to me that is the gift. Yes, I may bring additional paper goods, like napkins and plates. One can never have enough, but I wouldn’t consider it a gift.
