Tis the season, and I have my first holiday party tonight.  I live in an area with a Jeni’s so I’m taking some ice cream sandwiches which are nothing short of amazing.  Don’t fret though! You can get Jeni’s ice creams shipped to you, or give one of these other fun hostess gifts – the girl or guy behind your shindig will feel so appreciated!
