Summer is the season for barbecues and backyard parties and all kinds of fun things. This weekend alone, in fact, I went to three different barbecues, which is awesome. (Relatedly, I could use some advil.)
When you go to someone’s house, it’s often nice to bring something as a thank you to the hosts- but if you’re going to three barbecues in a weekend, the cost of those hostess gifts can really add up. So allow me to introduce you to my new favorite “thanks for having me over for this sweet backyard party!” gift:
Okay, I realize that picture is a little hard to see, but what you’re looking at there is a little jar-sized silicone spatula and basting brush. They’re a whopping $3.95 each, and they make excellent gifts. Tie the spatula to a jar of salsa or fancy pasta sauce (to help get the last delicious bits out of the jar) or give the basting brush along with a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. Voila! Instant gift! You are definitely getting invited back.

This is an awesome website and an awesome idea! I love, no sorry, LOVE, that your (I’m tempted to say ya’lls) idea of reasonably priced coincides with mine. Please give yourself a hug from me today. You deserve it.
