If you're planning on visiting friends or family this holiday season you better make sure you pick up a gift for the host or hostess. Showing up empty-handed is one of the biggest etiquette faux pas of the holiday season but it's not the only one. It is equally as bad if you show up with an atrocious, lame or thoughtless present. While every hostess is a unique snowflake, in general, there are some things you should absolutely avoid.
