The Best Hostess Gifts That Your Friends Will Actually Love

11/25/2022 · In: Extras

Hostess Gifts for all of your Holiday parties

‘Tis the season for hosting! There is a lot that goes into hosting a dinner or a party… buying supplies, cooking a meal, cleaning the house, etc. So, providing your hostess with the perfect gift is an important gesture that must not be overlooked. Basically, it’s the best way to show your gratitude for all of their hard work and to return their kindness in inviting you to their home. So, in today’s post, I’m going to share with you some of my favorite hostess gifts that they’ll actually love!

Hostess Gifts They Will Actually Love

Georg Jensen Sky Food & Cocktail Sticks 6-Piece Set

First on our list is an option that every hostess is sure to use, a 6-piece food and cocktail stick set. These eye-catching stainless steel cocktail sticks are the perfect way to elevate a party and add the perfect elegant touch. Not to mention they come in a lovely gift box, so it’s an easy option for a hostess gift!

Picnic Time 5-Piece Cheese Board & Tool Set

The Picnic Time Circo Acacia Cheese Board is a two-tier cutting board that’s made from dark acacia wood. The top is imprinted with a stunning monogram letter with options ranging from A-Z! Inside the cutting board is a set of stainless steel cheese tools with wooden handles. The set includes one cheese shaver, one pointed-tip hard cheese knife, one chisel knife (for hard crumbly cheese), and one fork-tipped hard cheese knife. This is a gift that every hostess is sure to love!

Yoku Moku Cigar Cookie Tin

This thoughtful gift also doubles as a delicious treat! 30 individually wrapped cigar-style butter cookies all nestled within a stunning collectible tin! Each cookie is made with all-natural ingredients and has a light and crispy taste. Who wouldn’t be excited to get a box of cookies as a hostess gift? I definitely would!

Riedel Performance Decanter

Next up we have this simple yet stunning decanter by Riedel. This German-made piece is crafted with optical blown glass for an elegant but unembellished look. I love to give decanters as hostess gifts because they are a sophisticated present but also extremely functional. This is a gift that every hostess needs!

Michael Aram Butterfly Ginkgo Photo Frame & Easel

Here is a gift that is sure to impress! This beautiful butterfly ginkgo photo frame and easel set by Michael Aram is a lovely option. The design is beautiful enough to look like a piece of art all on its own, but it’s also a functional photo frame! You can add in a photo of yourself and the host for a personal touch, or leave it empty for your host to fill themselves. Either way, this set is the perfect option for a hostess gift!

Campo Wood Essential Oil Diffuser

Essential oil diffusers have been a trendy gift option for a few years, and they’re still going strong! These seem to be a must-have that people just cannot pass up. It’s easy to see why, especially with options like this Campo wooden diffuser. The elegant and sleek wooden design of the diffuser will elevate any room you place it in. Your hostess will be able to add in just a few drops of their favorite essential oil, and the diffuser will stream a vibrant aromatic mist throughout their home. Additionally, you can add in a few of your favorite essential oils to this gift for an extra special touch.

Nambé Aquila 2-Piece Candlestick Set

Next up we have a gorgeous 2-piece set of candlesticks by Nambé. These sticks come from the lovely Aquila Collection and are made from a high-quality Nambé alloy. They feature a spiral design that is both simple and elegant. A perfect addition to any hostess’ table or mantelpiece!

NEST New York Hearth Scented Candle

NEST has made quite a name for itself in the past few years. I’ve seen these candles everywhere, which means that they make perfect, trendy hostess gifts! They are expertly crafted with an exclusive wax that is designed to make the candle burn as cleanly and evenly as possible. This one in particular has the aroma of a warm fireplace with hints of frankincense and smoky embers. A lovely, inviting scent that will make your host’s guests feel as comfortable and relaxed as if they were sitting around a real fire.

Michael Aram Mistletoe Casserole Server

This is something for a hostess with an eye for details! This beautiful casserole server by Michael Aram comes in the most charming mistletoe design. It’s crafted from stainless steel and natural brass which gives it an elegant and elevated look. This is the perfect gift to capture the spirit of the holiday season!

Reed & Barton Snow Berry Silver-Plated Wine Coaster

This silver-plated wine coaster by Reed & Barton comes from the lovely Snow Berry collection. This is a beautiful way for your hostess to add an elegant touch to their dining table. I especially love the exquisitely engraved snowberry pattern that wraps around the coaster! Basically, it’s the perfect way to display a favorite bottle of wine, which would be a welcome addition to this gift.

Vietri Old St. Nick Handled Rectangular Platter

Are you headed to a Christmas party this Holiday season? If so, this lovely rectangular platter by Vietri would make a great hostess gift! This whimsical platter is adorned with a hand-painted depiction of good Old St. Nick! Plus, it’s the perfect size for your hostess to offer up any number of Holiday appetizers and it’s dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup!

I've been making a point to spend a lot less time I've been making a point to spend a lot less time on screens this year. It's been amazing how much free time I have to enjoy new hobbies and spending time with friends and family. I even tried my hand at painting with a Time For Art kit and actually made this sweet dolphin painting. I was surprised how easy it was even for someone like me who has very little painting experience. I loved how the kits came with everything I needed to make the painting, and I when I needed help, I watched a video on the Time for Art website. I thought it would be fun to host some friends for a girls painting night, invitations are in the mail--plus it would make a perfect gift. Be sure to check out @timeforartlive--I will link all their info in my link tree.

I am looking forward to going into 65 and beyond healthier and happier than ever before. I hope you’ll join me over the next 65 days by choosing something you’d like to improve or a habit you’d like to break and see where it leads. #over50womenoninstagram #over60andfabulous #livingmybestlife
