I'm going to a friend's for an end-of-year dinner. Apart from wine, is there anything else I can buy to contribute to the dinner?

Ask the host if they would like you to contribute anything in particular...a lot of people appreciate a little help, even if it's just a little nibble like a relish tray or something. It's the thought that you are willing to participate actively in the party and take a little trouble to help out that will really count.

Yup, I say offer to bring a desert, in advance. Easy enough to pick up a cheesecake or pie from a resturant or bakery. I know if I were having a dinner party, I would love the desert to be gifted that evening.

I think the wine is a fine gesture and enough.

Ask to help laying out the dinner.

A dvd for afterwards, or a board game.
However, a good present would be a fruit basket.

anything you've got in the fridge that's just about to go out of date, or as dimplebum said....a punch of flowers (what is a punch of flowers)?
