Most people don't like sushi, though; they don't want to eat it when someone else makes it, let alone trying to make it themselves.

I'd still go with wine and flowers, but hey if you can be more creative than that, more power to you.

No.. I didn't say to make sushi as a gift! I had suggested a sushi set as a hostess gift. Someone else had mentioned that they had trouble making sushi.. so the thread drifted a bit.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled suggestions on hostess gifts!

I love sushi much more than the average person does. It's pretty much the only food that I could eat for the rest of my life and not get sick of. However, if someone were to give me a sushi set as a gift, I would have no use for it whatsoever.

That's why it's important to find out, as stated above, what your hostess likes. If they have a brown thumb, for instance, a gardening book probably wouldn't be appropriate. This was just one suggestion among others.
