As more and more people adopt the sober or sober-curious lifestyle, we started asking ourselves a question: what should we bring as a “thank you” to hosts that isn’t that good ol’ go-to bottle of wine? Turns out, there are tons of very chic and truly thoughtful gifts that make a great replacement for alcohol when you want to bring something to your host. Read below to see our top suggestions for crowd-pleasing presents that say “I really get you” (and also “I have *great* taste” 😉).
Grab a bunch from your local florist, or pull one together from the blooms you find at Trader Joe’s — that works, too!
Feeling “spicy”? Planted herbs are an elevated (and very useful) gift to bring your hosts!
Just because someone’s not drinking alcohol, doesn’t mean they won’t love a fancy bev! Cheers to the party with a mocktail kit or a case of tasty non-alcoholic beverages for sipping or saving.
There’s something very “grown-up”-feeling about having a collection of cool games. See some of our team’s top picks for party games here. P.S. a fun puzzle can also be a very chic and unique gift!
We’re buzzing about this one… give your hosts the gift of being awake and alert with your favorite coffee bean.
Simple home decor is a totally thoughtful way to go! Succulent plants are a great option because they’re easy to take care of and make the perfect green accent to any space.
Maybe our personal favorite… who doesn’t love a good candle? Bonus points if you find one at a local farmers market or store that truly reminds you of the host!
They’re the ultimate host… they should have the equipment to prove it! A wood charcuterie board is the kind of gift that will have even the other guests ooh-ing and ahh-ing.
When in doubt, give chocolate out. Because… well… do we really need an explanation for this one??
Flaky salt or a premium olive oil are all the rage and are a great gift for foodie friends or the trendsetting host!

Choose Evite SignUp Sheets for the easiest, most streamlined way to get volunteers and signups for your next event!
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, SignUp Sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
