Skip the undergarments. Try other items they or other stores like them sell, e.g. sleep mask. If you don't find anything, how about a gift card from there?

You absolutely can't bring a gift card to a "favorite things" party. That's counter to the whole point of the party.

Please. Yes you can, and people do.

Instead of having batteries strewn all over in junk drawers they now have one place to belong. So last year when invited to a favorite things party, I brought the battery organizer.

Nearly all the other items were either foods, drinks, or makeup products. But the battery organizer was a big hit.

Thank you for posting this. I just ordered one for my dad who is impossibly difficult to buy for.

No one has gone to VS since the 90's.
You really can't just bring a gift card (and I am normally a big fan of gift cards). Opt out of the party if you're gonna bring that.

I wouldn't bring a gift card, that's lame. If someone is dying to bring undergarments buy a Hanky Panky thong and be done with it.

I brought packs of cute grippy socks, since I like wearing them around the house and thought others might too.

At the last one I went to, the host's older neighbor brought copies of a book she had enjoyed. I got one, and wound up liking the book as well. Of course, not everyone is a reader, but I liked that the person did something different.

Since we're asking and giving feedback I would say: no gift cards, candles, journals or fuzzy socks. Just no. If I could trade those I would in a heartbeat for something less lame.

If you really can't think of something just bring your favorite coffee, tea, chocolate or treat. It doesn't have to be that deep. Not some weird gadget or as seen on TV junk.

I'd like really nice maple syrup, olive oil, or balsamic vinegar.

I thought of something I have around the house that fits the bill.

I really like tempered glass kitchenware.

The Duralex Gigogne 6 Oz glasses that we use can be purchased on Amazon for less than $20 for a small set. They stack. I don't think we've broken one in over 10 years with kids in the house. There's a great French TV ad where a kid throws one like a Nerf football.

I also like funny animal shape chip clips. If I knew the crowd, I might bring something like that.

Another thing I find useful around the house is a lingerie drip dry hanger that can hold about 10 bras at a time. It's a plastic rectangular hanging frame with clips leading off of it. I've had mine for a long time. I might consider that for a practical crowd. It works for mittens and wool socks, etc.

Why opt out? It isn't the 90s -- gift cards are ok to bring in 2020s. You can put it in a box and wrap it up if you want.

You really can't think of anything you like that someone else might too? You don't have to go out of your way to get it, just buy 2 next time you're buying it.
