    Host & Hostess Gift Ideas

    Don’t show up empty handed at the party! Grab one of these beautiful gifts to thank and appreciate your host or hostess!

    1. The Gift of Gathering

    I can’t imagine a more perfect (or beautiful) book than this coffee table book dedicated to welcoming and celebrating your friends and family! It’s the perfect gift for a host or hostess!

    2. The Best Candles!

    These delicious and perfectly scented candles are perfect for any host or hostess. If it’s the holiday season, Peppermint, Christmas Day and Good Tidings would all be perfect gifts of appreciation. Add a wick trimmer for just a few dollars more (here). They really do help the candles burn cleaner and longer!

    P.S. If you don’t know about these candles already, they are the BEST I’ve ever smelled or burned. They make my whole living space smell so yummy and the smell lasts for the entire length of the candle. It’s the only candle brand I buy!

    3. Plaid Tea Towels

    This set of plaid towels has a cute, traditional look for the kitchen and perfect pop of color for the holidays. Or get a simple striped towel if that’s more of the hostess’ style!

    4. Faux Plant

    This Faux Paperwhite plant is a beautiful faux plant that looks real but doesn’t have any of the maintenance to keep it living. This flocked table top tree is adorable and would be another great option!

    5. Corkcicle “Chill and Pour” Wine Chiller

    I’m putting this cork wine chiller on my Christmas list because it keeps your wines chilled at the perfect temperature! Add to some bottles of wine to make a really spectacular hostess gift.

    I love to gift a pretty match holder with a candle. In fact, I’m giving that along with a gift card to my kids’ teachers this year. But it’s the perfect combo gift for a host or hostess, too!

It’s a wonderful gift that is also your serving piece for the event! This monogrammed cutting board is monogrammed and a wonderful price for less than $30!

      Thank you so much for sharing. Great tips! I’m planning to go to my sister’s housewarming party as she bought a new house in Pickering (learn more here). I think I will buy this cheese knife set and wood cheese board as it’s a must for wine and cheese evenings. Since my sister is a cheese lover, she would definitely enjoy this present.
