‘Tis the season for gatherings. The most wonderful time of the year, seriously. Great food and great company, but what do you bring to the table? No seriously, I’m talking hostess gifts. Theres a golden rule when attending a party at someone’s home – never show up empty handed. But what DO you bring for the hostess with the mostess? Everyone seems to have EVERYTHING these days, so to make it easy, I bring to you a list of perfect hostess gifts to bring to your next holiday party.
1.WINE
The most obvious gift idea on the list, but seriously, no one is ever disappointed with receiving a bottle of nice wine or champagne. Just make sure the hosts drink first, k?
Looking to add extra? Pair it with cute wine glass markers, or a boujie ice bucket.
LINKS: Gold, Ceramic, and drink markers.
2. CHARCUTERIE or CHEESE BOARD
Stunning on the counter, better covered with the goods. Bring it filled, or just blank if the food is already handled / catered. Either way a cute gift they’re sure to use! Pair it with a set of cheese knives, or a charcuterie board book to add a little something more.
LINKS:
Boards – Marble, wood, and agate.
Knives: Classic, or modern.
3.DISH BLOCK
The No Tox Life dish block is the ultimate in zero waste and zero toxins. Safe for people and the planet, this is a very thoughtful gift, and something the hosts probably didn’t know they needed. If you want to add a bit, pair it with some cute dish towels!
4.DIP/SNACK/CONDIMENT BOWLS
Yeah yeah, I know, more kitchenware?! But seriously, the best hostess gifts are for the home. Condiment and snack bowls are something they can use at future (or tonights) gathering and something they can both use if its a couple. Also, it just looks sophisticated.
5.MONOGRAMMED TOWELS OR BATH ROBES
Anything monogramed is always a hit – it’s super personal and thoughtful. Plus having a monogram just puts a luxe spin on an everyday item, like yes they have towels, but do they have monogrammed ones? Probably not. Robes are also a great choice.
6.HOME SCENTS
A luxe candle is something to be treasured. Truly. Gorgeous packaging that compliments any space, and a captivating scent. I love the look and scent of Le Labo, and diptyque. The 34 boulevard is so classic, I love the white on white. For a darker look, go with the black classic candle – the scent baies is heavenly.
7.FANCY HAND SOAP & LOTION
A perfect hand soap and lotion wrapped up in a pretty box. Something everyone uses – but not everyone has hand soaps that look this cute.
8.BOARD/ CARD GAME
A cute decorative board game is sure to be a hit, or if you want to turn it up a notch, grab a card game thats sure to get people social. Awesome gifts that they’ll get a lot of fun out of.
LINKS: Chess, black playing cards, cards against humanity, superfight, marble tic-tac-toe
9.CATCH ALL TRAY
Because I love these, and they should too. Perfect for the counter, or the top of a sideboard. Throw in your keys, your wallet, and all those other things that seem to go poof out of existence every time you need them. No more of that. I especially like the charging tray – tres efficient.
10.COFFEE TABLE BOOK
I LOVE a coffee table book. It’s like, all pictures. And you can get them with any topic that suits your host – photography, art, food, music, anything.
LINKS: Let’s Eat France, The White Company, The Very Embarrassing Book of Dad Jokes, Dinner at the Club, Living in Provence, New York by New York
BONUS GIFT: Combine a few of these elements, get a cute decorative basket and make a gift basket! Perfect combos: Robe, candle and add some slippers. Charcuterie board, cheese knives, and a recipe book. Coffee table book, snack bowls and a card game. Wham bam thank you, ma’am.
There you have it, some stellar gift ideas to bring to any party. I’ll have a post up soon about my party must haves for when I’m the host – maybe when you host next you’ll be on the receiving end of some of these hostess gifts! Who knows! 😉
