Being informal it is not absolutely necessary.
But a small gift for the hostess would be nice.
If it's a host I (for some unknown reason) don't think it is as necessary.
Happy Holidays!

People always appreciate a good bottle of wine or spirit - so as long as you aren't just taking the booze you intend to drink all night, its fine.
It depends on how informal the party is to be honest.

I would! It is Christmas after all and also it is just good manners.
Maybe something homemade or some flowers - and if you know your hostess well something a bit more personal to her.
Have a good party. Enjoy, but behave with some decorum and you may be invited back! Happy Christmas.

the actuality that those are 2 separate activities/events (even no count if that's for particularly the same element) capacity which you *would desire to* supply 2 separate presents (or one particularly huge one in case you opt directly to describe it to the couple). To be particularly sincere i do no longer particularly get bridal showers - yet consistent with risk that's in basic terms me! think of approximately what a contemporary particularly is? that's a thank you to somebody who has hosted a social gathering and spent their very own funds (and time) so as which you would be able to connect them in celebrating something (be that a birthday, anniversary, wedding ceremony, dinner social gathering, and so forth). consequently - each experience you attend would desire to warrant a contemporary. human beings look to have forgotten WHY we deliver presents - it is not *in basic terms* to congratulate human beings. i think a customer has a undeniable responibility as quickly as they settle for an invite and in my opinion i'd sense particularly rude if I hadn't 'thanked' the hosts appropriate through bringing something for them - tremendously when you consider that they have long gone out of their thank you to organise and pay for however experience that's they have organised.

A gift would be nice, but it's not really necessary. Personally, I might bring a box of fancy chocolates or something simple.

A bottle of something is adequate. Take a gift only if you would normally get one for that host anyway.
