What would you bring to a brunch?

Don't being food for that day! Only a complete insensitive boar would do so.

Your friend said not to bring anything. She probably has everything planned from top to bottom. She has the mimosas covered, food, and fresh flowers. Also leave your silly insecurity at home. Your friend said not to bring anything.

I haven't met too many sensitive boars.
Though I did once see a javelina reading poetry.

Wine, wine, wine.

(Don't be offended when your host doesn't serve it. It's a gift, not part of the meal.)

No self-respecting boar, sensitive or not, is going to arrive the venue with an intact food offering.

Perhaps a selection of all-American boar jerkies would be a good hostess gift.

+1.
Flowers or wine is plenty. Bringing a dish when you've specifically been told not to is rude. Are you trying to upstage the host?

OP here. Just want to assure everyone I'm not an insensitive boar. I generally never give "stuff" other than things that can be consumed. Everyone generally has plenty of "stuff." I was not trying to "upstage" the hostess. My mother just always taught me that if you go to someone's house, you need to bring something. Ended up bringing wine and the paper whites as PP suggested. Was a lovely brunch.

Oh, god, I seethe when someone brings me something I have to tend and keep alive. Great move, OP.

Not everyone is the colossal bitch you are.

A gourmet jar of gourmet honey & jams (and stick pretty ribbons on them.)

Beautifully wrapped selection of soaps.

Christmas ornament if they celebrate it.

Pretty containers for storing her baked goods and ingredients.

Paper whites don't actually live very long. Then you throw them out. If they are truly that offensive, just toss them.
