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!

I can’t imagine a more prefect (or beautiful) 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. Striped Tea Towel

This striped towel has a cute, crisp farmhouse look for the kitchen and perfect pop of color for the holidays (or anytime of the year, really). It comes in navy and gray as well, if that’s more the hostess’ style.

4. Faux Plant

This Faux Potted Holly 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.

6. A Pretty Matchbox

I love to gift a pretty matchbox 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!

This is another cute matchbox if you want another option!

9. Alphabet Wood Cheese Board

One thing that I love to bring over during the holidays is a charcuterie cheese spread on a gorgeous wooden board and leave the board for the hostess. 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!

10. Soap & Lotion Set

How lovely is this gift set with soap and lotion? It’s perfect for the hostess who likes to have overnight guests since this would be perfect in a guest bath or bedroom!

Right now this soap & lotion set it on sale for under $40, but even at full price, it’s only $48. I love a pretty soap and lotion set in a tray for my home. These bottles fit perfectly in this marble tray if you want to add something to it!

This marble tray is beautiful and sophisticated and would be perfect to put some hand made soap like this homemade rosemary and mint soap. Make a batch of soap and add several to the tray, put the top on, and tie with a ribbon. Perfect gift!

Or add a soap and lotion set like this one!

    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.
