A Toast to The Host, Affordable Hostess Gifts for the Holidays

November 3, 2021 By Elizabeth 15 Comments

Good morning friends, over the course of the next two months there will be dinners, parties, family get togethers and more. Thankfully this year many of us will be able to resume our favorite holiday activities with family and friends. Today I thought I would share a few affordable hostess gifts to give as a token of your appreciation when you attend one of these events.

Hostess Gifts

The great thing is that you do not have to spend a lot of money to show how grateful you are to your host for having you to dinner, to make cookies, to attend a holiday party or for a long weekend. Your hostess gift could be something as simple as a candle, a house plant, a bottle of wine or even a tray of homemade treats.

If you are looking for something to gift to your hostess here are a few of my suggestions.

Hostess Gifts for the Tabletop

Pair a cheese knife, and favorite wedge of cheese on a small cutting board. Mudpie has a nice selection including this one with acorns.

 

holiday in the country coasters pottery barn

A set of coasters tied with your favorite ribbon.

 

a glass of white wine with a grin bottle opener and a horn wine opener on a marble background

Horn bottle opener and wine opener to accompany the hosts favorite beer or wine.

 

Hostess Gifts for the Kitchen

an apron with holiday greens and red berries

Holiday towels or a beautiful apron are another favorite of mine to give and to receive. Or a beautiful tray!

 

A stack of red and white and green and white kitchen towels

Hostess Candles

A white candle in a red glass container with a green and gold table next to a green box with red and gold lettering and christmas design

A perennial favorite of most hostesses, a candle in the scent of the season.

White Sand + Fog Winter Pine Candle from TJ Maxx

Sand + Fog Winter Pine Candle

I personally buy a lot of candles from TJ Maxx, and I always enjoy the scents of  Sand + Fog, they are priced from $7.00-$12.99. Marshall’sThe great news is that you can buy them online and beat the crowds.

 

Comfy Hostess Gifts

Tan pillow with red piping and ski gear on the front

A seasonal pillow for a cabin retreat or a  pillow for their bed. I like this one and this this set too!

Grey pillow with "let heaven and Nature Sing" Script

“Let heaven and nature sing.”

Gray and white fleece snowflake throw draped over a couch

A throw is another great gift, and will keep your hostess warm all season long!

Sweet Treats Hostess Gifts

red box filled with 4 clear bags of cookies and brownies

Sweet treats are always a good idea!

white box filled with chocolate truffles sitting on a plaid piece of paper and red and white string

You can buy your favorites or make some homemade candy of cookies.

pale green canister of fortnum and mason tea

A tin of tea or some coffee along with a tea cup and saucer.

There are so many things that you can gift a hostess but the most important is the gift of your time, presence and gratitude.

Have a great day my friends.

      Brenda, I think they were discontinued about 10 years ago. The only thing I see is something called Queen Anns cherries
