Alison M. Cheperdak, J.D. on Instagram: "I’m with Elaine on this! But host gifts don’t need to be consumable. Bringing food or drink can be lovely; just don’t pressure your host to serve whatever you bring. If you insist, for example, that the Pepsi or wine you brought is opened, it comes across as less of a gift and more like an unsolicited addition to the menu. 🥂 If you’re new here, welcome! 🙋🏼‍♀️ I hope you’ll follow along for more everyday etiquette doe relationships, work, and life! ✨🦋�
