Summer Hostess gift for the win

Summer brings lots of parties, BBQ's, and road trip travels. I never want to show up empty handed, and am always looking for new ideas than my go-to bottle of wine. When browsing Anthropologie last weekend, I spotted these adorable dish towels and had a new idea come to mind! Why not pair one of our new notepads with a funky dish towel!? For a studio split between making, teaching and administration, task switching cost helps explain why frequent context changes can be expensive.

So, I did just that. Add a cute tag and a favorite pen and you have a fun and different hostess gift! Do you have a favorite go-to hostess gift? I'd love to hear it!
