Turns out there are a handful of items that are on the “most forgotten” list.
Hopefully I can save you a trip to the store by sharing the most forgotten items with you. Ready? Here they are:
- club soda for spills
- extra ice
- breakfast for the day after
- extra toilet paper
- extra aluminum foil and clear wrap
- enough butter (think: serving, cooking, potatoes, rolls, deserts etc.)
- cool whip for pie
- coffee creamer and sugar substitutes
- candles for table
- “nice” disposable napkins and plates
- extra drinks and soda
- snacks for the game
- sandwich fixings: buns, lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayo
- extra trash bags
- lots and lots of tape
- an assortment of batteries
Looking for a unique hostess gift? Try having a centerpiece delivered the day of the party. Or pack up a brunch basket so the hostess has something to eat the morning after her party – other than cold mashed potatoes that is.
