When invited to a holiday party, should I always bring a host/ess gift?

Beth says:  I always ask, "What can I bring?"  Sometimes the hostess appreciates your bringing something more than a small token gift.  I almost always end up bringing something to eat or wine.  I rarely go to anything fancy or formal though, here in Suburbia!

Kevin says:  According to the Emily Post Institute, a host/ess gift is not necessary when invited to a cocktail party, but is if you’re invited to a dinner party (keep it simple and under $25); for a casual get together, say, brunch, a host/ess gift is optional.
