Gift Guide 2024: Gifts for the Host/Hostess

This time of year is full of joy, magic and a calendar full of holiday parties. I love the little extra sparkle the holiday season brings and to me, nothing is better than dressing up in my holiday best, wearing a bold red lip, and celebrating the season with friends and family.

Additionally, I love to bring something special for the party host. Below are gifts I think are wonderful host/hostess gifts to say thank you and show your gratitude. Plus, every time the host/hostess uses your gift they will think of you and all the fun and festive memories of the party they hosted.

Cut Glass Candle Holder // These candle holders are a statement but gorgeous. A unique gift and one to look great in any home.

2025 Desk Calendar - Cheese // The perfect desk calendar for the foodie!

Nest Holiday Candle // You can never go wrong with a candle. This holiday candle perfectly captures the smell of the season and is absolutely stunning.

Champaign Stopper // We received our champaign stopper for our wedding and it was one of my favorite gifts. If you only want one mimosa vs. the whole bottle, this stopper will keep your champaign fresh and bubbly. A perfect gift!

Calabrian Chile Oil // If you watch any Bobby Flay food competition show, then you know this is his secret ingredient. Whenever he uses Calabrian Chile oil he always wins. A great host/hostess gift if they are a foodie!

Marble and Brass Bee Cocktail Picks // These picks are super cute and a fun way to add a little something extra when you are entertaining. Might seem frivolous to buy, but will be loved, appreciated and used!

Brass Catchall Dish // We have catchall dishes around our house and love them. This one is simple, beautiful and would look great in any home.

Dog Wine Bottle Holder // A fun and memorable gift for any dog and wine lover!

Bow Wood Serving Spoons // This is one of those gifts that you might think, they have serving spoons. I can tell you, no one (besides Ina Garten) thinks to buy serving spoons. Especially cute wood ones with bows. Speaking from experience (my household lacks in serving spoons) this is a great gift idea!

Wine Chilling Wands // You never have to water wine down again with ice cubes! These chilling wands are genius and any white wine drinker would love them.

Scalloped Cutting Board //

Clam 3 Bowl Serving Piece // Serving dishes are the best gifts for someone who loves to entertain. This clam 3 bowl piece is fun, whimsy and a beautiful gift for any host/hostess.

Seashell Spreaders // The number of times I’ve seen people not have enough spreaders is embarrassing. A great gift idea that will most likely be used that night!

Apres Ski Cocktail Glasses // Drinks are always better in fun glassware. These glasses are festive but can be used throughout all of winter. A great gift for a glassware lover!

Bow Appetizer Plats // Again, you can never have to many plates and serving dishes. Add to the hosts/hostess’s collection with these beautiful bow plates.
