Well you can give anything as a 'hostess' present I suppose... but unless its part of a gift for young children (who haven't used it before) it would be considered odd. So while it would work really well as a cultural exchange type gift (if you were visiting another country) if you tried to give it as a gift at a dinner party etc it probably wouldn't go down well.
Yes. I think it would be fun if there are kids in the house. No mess, I like that.
I would definitely bring it as a gift to a hostess, especially if they have kids. My kid begs me to make pancakes every weekend. I'm a single guys so I especially like it because I can whip them up so quick and its easy to clean up.
However, I also like scotch (not for breakfast of course) so bringing both might be the way to go.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
