We all have that friend who serves as the unofficial sommelier of the group. You know, they can talk for hours about different grape varietals and their favorite bottles, they never show up to a function empty-handed, and they do the simple swirl of the glass before taking the first sip. They're the friend who's appointed to taste the bottle you just ordered at the restaurant and they're the one with the glassware collection you might want to raid.
When it comes to shopping for someone with a specific interest—whether it be wine, bourbon, or gardening—you'd think finding the perfect gift would be easy. After all, if you're able to focus on a specific sector of gifts, it should be simple, right? Not so much. Nothing can turn stressful faster than shopping for someone who knows a lot about something you know only the basics of. So, we're here to help.

We all know it's common courtesy to not show up to any dinner, holiday, or party empty-handed. Whether it's flowers, a dessert, or a bottle of wine, whoever's playing host that evening will usually appreciate the small gift saying thank you.

If you're heading to a friend or family member's house for Thanksgiving this year but are unsure what to give them, we can help. We've rounded up 13 small gifts anyone running this year's turkey-day dinner will appreciate.
