Lifestyle: 10 great hostess gift ideas
Happy Friday everyone! It’s been a very full week for me, I am so looking forward to tomorrow, when I can relax with my family.
As you know, Entertainment season is here. If you’re like me, you’re rushing out to purchase either a bottle of wine, candle or some other last minute item for holiday gatherings you’ve been invited to.
Of course being more prepared is much less stressful.
In fact, It’s not a bad idea to have a few things on hand for those invites that come your way, even after the holiday season.
Here are 10 ideas to get you ready.
1. Keep a few small baskets on hand to add sample sizes of coffee/tea and gourmet dessert mix (cookies, scones)

2. Gourmet chocolates are always yummy, but add a little somethin extra and include a fun quote like the one below.
3. Wine is a good gift, if you add coasters and a wine journal, so your host can keep track of their favorites.
4. Monogrammed cocktail napkins make great gifts. It’s easier to monogram a symbol instead of a letter (!,? or #) and they’ll make great conversation starters.
4. Homemade bath salts are easy to make in advance – make your own with this easy recipe
5. A gift box labeled cocktails on us (include a gift card to their fav restaurant/neighborhood bar)
6. A gift box labeled Date night (include a movie gift certificate and theatre candy)
7. A gift box labeled For your sweet tooth (include a gift certificate to a local restaurant with a killer dessert menu).
8. Potted herb plants make practical and aromatic gifts
9. Stonewall kitchen jams are available in gift sets and taste yummy

10. No matter what you give, wrap it up in a lovely package for an awesome presentation
