With the holidays literally around the corner, today I am rounding up a few of my favorite hostess gift ideas. If the pandemic taught us anything it is that being alone for holidays is for the birds. This year, as we all head out to loved ones’ homes, don’t go empty-handed. A host puts forth a lot of effort into making guests feel welcomed, menu planning, cleaning, and keeping the conversation going. These hostess gift ideas range from self-care items to entertaining essentials. Since Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away, start planning now what to bring your host. With shipping delays worse than ever, don’t wait until the last minute!
Self-Care Gifts
After standing on your feet for hours making sure the meal is just right and the table setting is perfect, one hostess gift that will not be cast aside is self-care items. You know your host and can decide if a spa- gift card is the right fit or showing up with a self-care basket you put together is better. With people still hesitant about close contact with others, a self-care pamper box just might be the thing they need.
Skin Gym is a brand that I love for affordable skincare and luxurious pampering essentials. From face steamers to eye patches they have everything your host needs to recover or prepare for a dinner party. Kitsch is another pampering brand that will have your hostess moisturizing their hands in fluffy gloves or rolling their puffy eyes with their gorgeous quartz roller. These two brands will have your hostess feeling like a new person!
Home Fragrance
It may seem cliche to bring a candle, but speaking from first-hand experience a candle is ALWAYS welcome is my home! With the chilly weather descending upon the holidays, nothing says cozy more than that flicker of light paired with a warm drink in hand. L’or de Seraphine makes stunning candles that smell great and look beautiful on any counter or coffee table. They are a must for any well-curated home.
Another fragrance option is hand soaps and lotions. After washing dishes and preparing for the meal, all hostesses’ could use a little more moisturizer on their hands and a nice soap is perfect for any powder bath. Nest Fragrance has gorgeous candles and hands soap/lotion sets. They will make any home or bath smell divine.
Serving Pieces
Personally, I love to receive serving pieces such as a gorgeous wooden bowl to serve a salad or bread in. A beautiful marble platter for a cheese board is another great option. Serving pieces as a hostess gift just makes sense. If your host loves to throw dinner parties or host holiday gatherings, you can be sure these pieces will be put to use.
Shopbop Home has incredible, curated pieces to elevate any entertaining occasion. From cheeseboards to serving utensils to beautiful pitchers, to coasters this brand has you covered.
