Frugalista Gifts: 10 “Thanks” for the Labor
GIFTS FOR YOUR HOSTS WHO LABORED FOR YOUR GOOD TIME
Labor Day weekend often means parties and gatherings. You’ll probably want to take a gift for your hosts. Food and wine still seems to remain the most popular choices .
Whether you want to gift something for the table now or for the hosts to enjoy later, retailers like @HarryandDavid, @Macys, @WilliamsSonoma, @Sur_La_Table, @BedBathBeyond, and similar, stock many host gift ideas slightly more imaginative than wine. You’ll also find similar and additional food gift ideas at grocers like @bristolfarms, @WholeFoods, @eatzis, @Wegmans, @CentralMarket and @vons.
This Dried Fruit Tray offers a fairly healthy variety of dried, including the unusual, fruit. And it makes a great presentation!
$35

Or, go international and gift Swedish KANELBULLAR. Or, cinnamon rolls in America, but these are a lighter version. And have a subtle butter-sugar-cinnamon flavor. These will make a delicious light breakfast for the morning after the party. 6 wheat dough buns.

New Yorkers will definitely be able to get these by the Labor Day party. However, these Whisky Pickles were just too interesting to leave off the list. They seem to fit right in to any host party gift.

to give your hosts a different take on pickles. Both include Finger Lakes Distilling rye whiskey or bourbon in the brine – so warn your gift recipient.
