TERESA K asked:
My partner and I have been invited by our boss and his wife to their house for drinks (and I think some food) this evening along with some other colleagues. I have only met the man once as I am off on maternity leave and he started after I finished. My partner works closely with him as the host is his line manager. Should we take along a gift if so any suggestions?

Take a token gift – perhaps a nice bottle of wine or a nice cheese with some crackers (not sainsbury crackers but something a little more expensive).
Wine /or/and cheese would be fine, but if it were me I would take a plant – a cyclamen for example.
A hostess gift like candy, flowers, or cheese, is a fine idea. I wouldn’t take wine to a drinks party.
Its perfectly acceptable to bring a good bottle of wine. Bring champagne if its a celebration of any sort.
Some flowers for the hostess will go down a treat. If you get wine, it will have to be a good one, or some very posh chocolates.
