It’s officially holiday gift guide time and I am soooo excited, you guys. I take my gift guide curation very seriously and always want to offer you the best, most perfect presents possible for you to give those you care about the most. I decided to kick off my daily (yup, daily) gift guides this year with one that I think we all need: unexpected hostess gifts. If you’re anything like me, you are invited to tons and tons of holiday parties and events, so having some good hostess gift ideas up your sleeve will definitely save you time. Without further ado, here are some of my favorite, unexpected treats to bring to any host or hostess:
I always try to think beyond the standard hostess gifts (aka a bottle of wine with the price sticker still on it). My thinking is that the host has worked so hard to make her house presentable, cook a meal, and entertain, so a thoughtful, unexpected gift is a nice way to say ‘thank you.’
Here are some perfect presents for the host & hostess this holiday season:
- wool tweed throw
- white and gold canisters
- Lolli and Pops topp’d gift set
- RBT wing corkscrew
- linen napkins
- candle & match striker
- ceramic french press
- gold hexagon platter
- Pizzazzerie: Entertain in Style: Tablescapes & Recipes for the Modern Hostess
- mi casa su casa doormat
- marble & copper wine chiller
- stone serving board
- brass incense set
A few more hostess gift ideas that are totally unexpected:
- italian herb napkin rings
- metallic bar cocktail shaker set
- delaney measuring spoon set
- taper holder
- flameless marble candle set
Stay tuned for more gift guides!
