Sometimes you might get invited somewhere and you need to give a gift. Maybe it's a party for a coworker or someone else that you don't know very well. It is difficult because you don't know them well enough to know what to get them for a gift.
Don't get too worried. This happens to the best of us. There are back up ideas for gift giving when we really don't know what to get. It can be difficult, but it is possible.
If you really don't know what to get, you can also fall back on food. Everybody eats, right? If you give them something they can eat, you can't go wrong unless they are on a special diet in which case someone in their family can eat it. It's the thought that counts, right?
Giving food is such a great idea because once you eat it, it's gone. You aren't left with a tacky sweater that you wouldn't never wear or an ugly picture that you would never want to hang in your home. I make a point never to give people decor items because I don't know what style they are going for.
Then when the person who gave it to you comes over, they will be looking to see it to make sure you liked it. When they don't see it, they feel bad because they know you didn't like it.
Why not give them pancakes for a gift? No, I don't mean hand them a wrapped plate of pancakes, or even a box of frozen pancakes or a gift certificate to a pancake house for that matter. Although, gift certificates are that bad either.
Go to a nice country store or look online for some fancy pancake mix. Look for something that is unique and different, like blueberry or apple pancakes. Give them something they couldn't easily make themselves.
Wrap up a few bags of pancake mix and add to it some real maple syrup. For a nice touch, throw in something practical like a dish towel, spoon, or bowl to mix it in.
