Abby: Thoughtful gifts convey proper thanks for hosts' hospitality

According to Emily Post, when a guest stays overnight, a nice bottle of wine would be a proper gift if you know your hosts drink and their preference. If you will be staying longer, she suggests a picture frame with a photo taken during your visit sent afterward, a houseplant in a decorative pot, hand towels or beach towels. [...] I agree with you that treating your host(s) to a nice dinner during your visit would be gracious and thoughtful. Children who are raised in happy homes do better than those who are raised in a household filled with unresolved tension. Taking a recent college grad's budget for this into account, what signature pieces should a young female have in her wardrobe? Make both suits interchangeable and in a neutral color - black, navy or beige - whatever looks best on you. Add a couple of blouses and sweater sets, several pairs of shoes and a good handbag. Make sure to look for "classic" styles rather than trendy, and you will have the basis for a business wardrobe and the beginning of a great collection.
