Gift Guide for the Hostess

We’re officially halfway into December – have your holiday partays begun? I had my first one last weekend with a group of my closest friends and we decided to all show up with the SAME appetizer. Variety is overrated. We did have more than enough wine to go around, which is the most important aspect of any party anyway.

Hosting can be a big undertaking this time of year juggling multiple families, friend groups, companies, schools etc etc etc. I love hosting, but I also enjoy the ease of being able to show up to an event with only the thought of a dish to share and a little something for the host. I like to bring a simple item to show appreciation for the effort the host/hostess put into creating a special night and graciously extending the invitation to join in the fun.

A bottle of wine is usually my go-to, but here are a few other thoughtful options that would be just as lovely:

Truffle Salt | Bottle Opener | Napkin Rings | Artisan Desserts | Cocktail Mixer | Hand Towels |
Drink Stirrers | Candle | Cookbook
