hostess gift guide

Bring the best hostess gifts to every holiday gathering.

The holiday season invites plenty of opportunities to welcome people into your home and benefit from the hospitality of loved ones. Even when your host insists they have everything covered, here are a few of my favorite gifts to make sure their time and care don’t go unnoticed. 

Most of the below hostess gifts are perfect for bringing to parties. If I’m staying somewhere for an extended period, I like to create a hostess basket with all my favorite things to show my gratitude. This list will help get you started on a basket of your own!
