Hello, I am attending my first Tupperware party this afternoon, being hosted by my lovely neighbour. Unsure of the correct custom for these sorts of shing dings, should I bring anything for the host? Chocolates etc? Thanks for your help!

No. They get a gift from the items you buy. It's definitely not expected for you to bring anything other than a keen desire for plasticware.

brazen boldness
I never have (but haven't been to many). If it's for a close friend, we have usually discussed whether we are bringing nibbles or not - sometimes yes, sometimes no. To be frank, she has invited you hoping you will spend $$$ on plastic so she can get some free stuff. With that thought in mind, I would say no to bringing anything.

No as you are there as a guest to buy Tupperware.

Thanks everyone. I thought as much, but didn't want to make a social faux pas.
