Gift for host/hostess of Halloween Party?
We are going to a Halloween/Birthday party tonight and I normally would bring wine, but I'm debating if there is another idea I could bring something else? Any thoughts would be great.
Thanks!

Wine is NEVER a bad hostess gift! Other ideas:
Some of my friends bring a gift, most don't. I would appreciate anything, because I feel the gesture is the real gift.
A bag of crushed party ice in a reusable shopping bag.
You can never have too much ice for a party!
I have also given a breakfast basket of items for the next morning like pp suggested.
We had our Halloween party a few weeks ago and got a few bottles of wine - which was so nice!
I also appreciated things like ice and mixers, as well as baked goodies. I don't like flowers for bigger parties - I already have too much to do w/o having to find a vase, but if they're in a vase already bring it on! I don't mean to sound ungrateful. I'm not a fan of candles, soaps, etc.
Oh - one year someone gave me a box of Penzey's spices, hot cocoa, cinnamon, etc. That was awesome.

What about a cute Halloween frame or decoration that they can set out each year? A lot of those types of things are on sale 50% off today. If you got a picture frame, you could take a pic of you guys together and send her a copy, so she could put it in the frame for next year. Another idea would be a fall inspired container filled with candy corn and peanuts. A great snack and the jar can be used again in the future!
Find something fall-themed like:
a jar of gourmet apple butter, a basket of pumpkin muffins or fresh apple cider and a spice packet for mulled cider, fall colored taper candles tied with ribbon and a silk leaf, leaf-shaped tealight holders, fall theme tea towels, Halloween wine charms.
I'd stay away from candy. It's likely your host will have candy for the party or leftovers from trick-or-treaters.
