" When I told my friend I was going to bring my famous eggnog to her party, she turned down my offer. I was a little hurt, and now I don&amp;#039;t know what to bring. Try to put aside your bruised feelings. If your friend was gracious when she declined the eggnog, she was not out of line; it is her prerogative to choose the food she&amp;#039;d like to serve. Also, some hostesses are adamant about not accepting help from their guests. Maybe she wanted to spare you the work (and the effort of lugging a big punch bowl to the party). As for the hostess gift, pick something you think she&amp;#039;d enjoy, perhaps some bath gel, a scented candle, or a box of candy. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
