Hostess Gifts for the 2024 Holiday Season - parts 1 and 2
*Commissions earned on links. Prices subject to change.
1. Better Homes & Gardens Acacia Wood Ramekin Caddy Set
My favorite thing about these is that the ramekins are oven-, dishwasher-, and microwave-safe. If your friend or family member enjoys hosting, I think these would be a sweet addition to their collection, and are so affordable!
2. Obvious Wines
For under $25 including shipping, your host will appreciate a wine that is unique and easy to enjoy. They have several varietals and you could even pick up a 4 pack to get free delivery and save a few to enjoy for yourself or additional parties!
3. The Swiss Colony Festive Favorites - Assorted Summer Sausages, Cheese Bars, Chocolate, and Petits Fours
I love giving a consumable as a gift because the hostess can choose to open while the guests are there to add to the spread, or they can choose to wait and enjoy it later on when they are relaxing after throwing a fabulous party. This particular one is a little more exciting than a plain-old chocolate box and comes wrapped beautifully.
4. Vahdam Blush Assorted Tea Set
Once again, we love a gift that is already gift wrapped! This tea set sampler is a great price point. This store has incredible reviews on Amazon and is a treat your hostess is sure to enjoy (if they like tea! If they don’t, keep scrolling for your coffee friends :) )
5. Better Homes and Gardens 2 Wick 18oz Jar Candle
You really cannot go wrong with a candle, and this two-wick sparkle candle feels both festive and fancy. It’s under $15 and comes in several holiday scents to choose from!
6. Drew Barrymore 6.5” Fall Leaf Yellow Bubble Glass Vase
First of all - your jaw will drop at the price of this. The petite size makes it a perfect gift as it is so versatile and timeless with a modern edge. Your hostess will love showing seasonal flowers and stems just about anywhere in their home.
1. Wine Glass Markers
I am OBSESSED with these! Useful on all types of glass, these are the perfect (and fun!) way to keep everyone’s drinks from getting mixed up. They stay put once written and simply wipe off with a wet paper towel. Your hostess will love you for them.
2. Movie Night Popcorn Non-GMO Kernels and Gourmet Seasoning
Okay this is going on my “hard to shop for” list for just about everyone - how fun is this?! I love that the popcorn is non-GMO and it includes 5 different toppings so everyone in the family can find their favorite.
3. Turkish Cotton Hand Towels (Set of 2)
These get incredible reviews for being soft and feeling high quality (even though they’re only $15!!!!). Turkish cotton is known for its ability to dry fast, making them great for hand towels. The great reviews is what ultimately sold me, but I also love that they have so many colors to choose from and come presented so nicely so they’ll wrap for a great gift presentation.
4. Custom Coasters (and more!)
Custom-anything is always a hit and Shutterfly has so many cute options that would make a great hostess gift. I had a hard time deciding between these and custom notepads (especially the ones with little dogs on them, I think they’re adorable). You can’t beat the price and your hostess will love that it was personalized and thoughtful.
5. Stumptown Coffee Roasters
Really any small-label gourmet coffee is a timeless gift that most will love. I chose this one because they’re on mission to operate in direct-trade with the laborers and farmers who are growing and farming these beans, making sure they are fairly and ethically paid. Win-win! This one also happens to come from Walmart which means it’s easy to grab/ships quickly.
