Hey, yourself
Hey, Sugar! makes baked goods you’d be proud to send to a loved one (or yourself), packaged thoughtfully in a ribboned box to boot. Our cookie faves were the Choc3 (triple-threat chocolate richness), the chewy I Heart Ginger and the brightly flavored Strawlemon. Buy a box of a dozen or more starting at $14 at

Identity gift
We realize these PlaceTiles erasable ceramic place cards (which come in a variety of styles) might not seem necessary for a small gathering, but they sure are clever, and could add just the right element of unique style to your next dinner party. Use them for guests or to identify the dishes being served. Buy a box of 6 for $35 at placetile.com.
Kiss and tell
We first fell for See’s Scotch Kisses – each a gooey marshmallow surrounded by a layer of caramel – at the suggestion of baking them into a sweet-potato casserole. But don’t get us wrong, eating the super-sweet candies on their own works well too. Order them as part of a “custom mix” ($19.60 per pound) at sees.com. The Scotch Kiss is item No. 19.
