Hi. I just got invited to dinner at someone's home. He is VERY rich. I was brought up that when you are invited to someone's home, you always take something.
So, since this man can probably afford the best wines and other fancy things, what should I take as a gift for my host?

See's Candy (or other good brand)or
Flowers or
Scented candle.
You are not obligated to buy something expensive just because he is rich, and he would not expect you to do so. This is when the thought really does count!
Don't forget a thank you note afterwards!!!!

If he wears a tournament daily what approximately cuff hyperlinks or a tie tack. A Dad and Daughter trip to the ballpark, a hockey sport or consistent with hazard a mini-golf face-off observed by way of lunch. Time mutually having some laughs may be something he'd treasure. be beneficial to have some snapshots taken so which you would be able to keep on with the day up with between the photos framed for his table. I did this for my dad at Father's Day, I created a certificates on writer with the main factors, he merely picked the date. We had great relaxing! Merry Christmas!

You send a bouquet of flowers ahead of time (day before or early on the day of). This is the most appropriate and polite gift to send, from an etiquette perspective. Also, anyone who is entertaining will enjoy having flowers to display in the home when the guests arrive (you are actually adding value).

Depends on what you can afford personally.
If you really want to make an impression, and you know he is a conneseuer (sp?) of wines, there is one gift in mind. But its pricey. They make wine glasses now that are stemless. They are pretty unique, and really cool looking. The site is below.

If he drinks, take him a bottle of whatever liquor he likes. I don't think you should need a gift. Take a dessert, something chocolate is usually a good choice.

something money cant buy, like free time. Do something that gives him some spare time if he is selfmade then he probably doesnt have a lot of freetime

Something homemade would be the best thing. It would be something original, and it shows you put some effort into it, instead of just "picking something up".

I had the same situation occur. I found out what his favorite charity was and made a donation in his name. It was a minimal donation and he was thrilled.

Be natural, and do the same as always. Dont worry he may be the most simple person.
