Holiday Hostess Gift Guide

When you’re headed to a holiday party this season, remember to bring a hostess gift. These notions of gratitude don’t have to be elaborate or expensive, the gift is just a nice gesture to say thank you for their hospitality. Although you don’t need to break the bank, you should make sure these gifts are sincere and thoughtful. I’m excited to share with you my four favorite go-to gifts that any hostess would love to receive!

  1.     Christmas Flower: My first go-to gift is a classic. Simply bring a plant of gorgeous blooms. This time of year I like to bring a small seasonal plant like a Christmas cactus or poinsettia. The Christmas cactus is the perfect gift for a hostess who loves to garden and will find joy in watching the blooms return annually each winter.
  2.     Holiday Mug: I just treasure my holiday mugs! They bring an extra bit of holiday décor into my kitchen. This season create a personalized hostess gift by snagging a fun and festive holiday mug, which can be filled with an assortment of sweet treats or a favorite tea.
  3.     Seasonal Book: Find a holiday themed book to share with the hostess that is an avid reader. This book could be cherished by your hostess for years to come or even passed along to family and friends in the spirit of sharing. One of my favorite books to have and to share is our Tiny Book of Christmas Joy, because sometimes all we need is a tiny book to inspire our creativity.
  4.     Christmas Ornament: Another of my favorite hostess gifts to give is a Christmas ornament. A beautiful ornament like Classic Sewing’s 1st annual Christmas Ornament can be cherished for years come as is hangs on their tree.
