Every year, it inevitably happens. We’re going somewhere and I’m scrambling for a last minute “thank you for having us to your house” or even a “I forgot to buy you a gift” gift. I am determined to be more organized this year! That’s why I pulled together this list of the best hostess gifts. They’re all things I would personally love to give or receive. I don’t think you can ever go wrong with showing up with a special little something to say thank you to your hostess!
Home Decor
Plaid blanket – This is so soft and pretty! A cozy blanket is always a great idea!
Hearth and Hand basket – I was given this basket as a thank you gift myself and I love it! It would be great to fill with some of the other items here – stack some of the dish towels, a candle and the popcorn in and you’ve got yourself a cute little gift!
Gray Malin coffee table book – Gray Malin’s photography is my favorite and not surprisingly, his Italy book is just beautiful! This is a great gift for the traveler or home decor enthusiast in your life!
Peppermint candle – Since you never know what scents someone might like ( or hate, lol), peppermint is a good, safe bet!
Frames – Picture frames are an easy and affordable hostess gift that’s pretty universally received. These scalloped and ceramic frames from Target are perfect!
For the Foodie
On Boards cookbook – Charcuterie and even dessert boards are super popular lately! This unique book is perfect for your foodie friend who loves to entertain!
Marble cutting board – Check out any Pinterest-perfect kitchen on Instagram and you’ll see a few cutting boards stacked up. Your home decor or food loving hostess will love this one!
Salt sampler set – I admit it – I’m a salt junkie. Anyone who loves to cook would enjoy this Salt Journey set!
Harry & David Moose Munch popcorn – You really can’t go wrong with bringing food to a party! Add a bottle of wine and a Christmas movie to the basket above and you’ve got a cute little gift for your hostess.
Dish towels – Blue is in and these pretty striped dish towels would be a perfect addition to anyone’s kitchen.
For the Fashionista
Leopard slippers – I saw these in person at Target and they are the cutest! I am thinking about picking up a pair for myself!
Fan earrings – These are so adorable. Your fashionista friend will love them!
Bow necklace – This necklace is so pretty and dainty. I’m hoping Santa brings it to me!
