A bottle of wine, a candle, a homemade treat, those are just a few of my suggestions for an affordable and thoughtful hostess gift this holiday season.
Good morning friends, over the course of the next month there will be dinners, parties, family get togethers and more. 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
Small gifts to thank your host or hostess for having you to dinner, to make cookies, to attend a holiday party or for a long weekend are always a good idea, especially at the holidays. 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.
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.
Or place the cutting board cheese and some homemade chutney in a basket.
A set of coasters tied with your favorite ribbon.
Horn bottle opener and wine opener to accompany the hosts favorite beer or wine. The bottle opener is $7.99 on clearance.
Hostess Gifts for the Kitchen
Holiday towels or a beautiful apron are another favorite of mine to give and to receive.
Or a beautiful tray!
Hostess Candles
A perennial favorite of most hostesses, a candle in the scent of the season.
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
A seasonal pillow for a cabin retreat or a pillow for their bed. I like this one and this this one too!
A throw is another great gift, and will keep your hostess warm all season long! If you need a few more ideas check out this post with lots of cosy throws and blankets.
Sweet Treats Hostess Gifts
Sweet treats are always a good idea! If you are pressed for time you can buy them.
Or make some homemade candy or cookies.
A tin of tea or some coffee along with a tea cup and saucer. Or my favorite a tin of hot chocolate and some marshmallows. I like to make them homemade and sometimes I even cover them in chocolate to make them extra special.
