Gift Guide: For the Host

With the holidays right around the corner, we all have parties and gatherings to attend and you never want to show up empty-handed. Aside from what's most important [what you're going to wear], what's also important is what you'll gift the host! A bottle of wine or champagne is always an obvious choice [carry it in this], but if you'd like to challenge yourself to something different, here's a few ideas $50 or less! No parties to attend? Don't feel like a loser. You could also gift these to that friend [I know you have at least one --& she's talkin' to ya'] who loves to entertain!



My boyfriend and I made some apple pie moonshine a couple weekends ago so we'll probably be handing those out along with a few of the items above! 
If you're interested in making your own moonshine, we used this recipe here but didn't use vodka. I read other reviews on different recipes and most of them recommended using Everclear only because the vodka flavor stands out too much. With our leftover juices, we made a smaller "batch" and decided to add vodka to those. The flavor was still good but I prefer the moonshine with just Everclear better. Btw, we used Everclear 190 proof & poured in a bottle & a half --I have a heavy pour. It's delicious but I'll warn you ahead of time: it's strong... which is fine because let's face it, we all deserve a buzz when we have to be around family for long periods of time.
