Does anyone else feel like the weekends between Thanksgiving and New Years get jam packed with one event after another?
I love hosting and attending a good holiday party! One thing my mom taught me was never to show up empty handed. Even if the hosts insist you not bring anything, its a nice form of gratitude to show up with a little something, a bottle of wine, maybe a little platter.
Coming up with a cute hostess gift isn’t always easy, it can take some time to find just the right gift depending on who is hosting!
Here are some ideas I’ve come up with that I think cover a variety of hosts!
Cheese Board Markers
I think these are just adorable. I love the idea of marking each of your cheeses by name! Usually people just dig in and don’t even know what they are eating! And the chalk makes it easy to change with every party.
Slate Cheese Board
This would pair perfectly with the cheese board markers. I personally have the larger cheese board and I LOVE it. I’m constantly using it for every single party, no matter what I am serving, I will find something to put on this!
Cheese Knives 
I love how cute and festive these cheese knives are! These could also pair perfectly with the slate cheese board and cheese markers!
Coasters
I feel like coasters are one of those things that you have forever and never really think to replace. You can also have a few sets for all the different areas of your home where people will sit. This is why I love the idea of coasters as a host gift. You can also add these to a gift basket!
Wine Cooler
I personally have this little wine cooler and love it. It keeps wine nice and cold because its marble! not to mention, it looks beautiful sitting out on the counter at a party. Both functional and pretty!
Hearth & Home Gift Set
I love this little gift set from Hearth and Home. This one comes with hand lotion, hand soap and room spray. It comes in a few scents and a few different variations. I think this would be the prefect thing to pick up before heading to a party.
Scented Candle
Kyle is one of those people who believes one can never have too many candles. He spends most of the holiday season coming home from working and lighting a candle. Anyway, this is currently one of our favorites!
Personalized Serving Board
Can you tell I like slate? Here is another super cute personalized serving board. I think this would be prefect for serving appetizers on and the personalized initials is just an added bonus to show you put some thought into this gift!
Personalized Stemless Wine Glasses
This is another one of those personalized little gifts to show you care! Some stemless wineglasses. I’ve recently had to invest in some stemless wine glasses since our others no longer fit in the dishwasher. I didn’t think I would love them but I actually do! This is one of those things that someone might not think to buy for themselves but would really enjoy!
Appetizer Plates by Hearth & Home and Certified International
I thought both of these were so cute I couldn’t pick just one! I love having plates like this to put our during small gatherings. I think they are so much cuter than your average paper appetizer plates. This is another great gift for someone who loves to entertain!
Kitchen Mitt and Apron
I think this would be an adorable gift for the person in your life constantly hosting Christmas because they could wear this every year! Cute and functional, what more could you ask for?
He Sees You and Merry & Bright Cocktail Napkins
I love a good cocktail napkin. I think they are the perfect touch to any party, especially a funny one! whenever I find a good set of cocktail napkins, I grab them. You never know when you’ll need some!
