Gift Guide FOR THE HOST

The art of gift giving fulfills a part of me that I can’t quite put my finger on. The audible gasp of excitement that comes after a dear friend rips away tissue paper practically gives me the ability to fly. Maybe it’s my natural urge to nurture and provide. Maybe it’s the not-so-everyday specialness that comes with festivity. Maybe it’s the fact that I am deeply materialistic and can justify my spending habits when it isn’t for myself.

Regardless of the reason, there is nothing like watching someone open a shiny bag full of goodies specially crafted for them. With Christmas around the corner, I’ve crafted six gift guides to take away some of the heavy lifting of spoiling the special people in your life. Cheers to making the people around us feel seen, heard, and positively cherished!

A Gift Guide For The Host

1. Charming Wax Melter
   In my opinion, one can never have too many wax melters. Currently, there are three of them scattered around the limited space of my single-bedroom apartment. Even if I were to be gifted three more, you can bet I would find any spare corner, desk, or countertop to accommodate their existences. This charming wax melter from Amazon would bring a smile to any host’s face knowing their home is about to smell that much better.
   
   
2. Luxury Knit Kitchen Towels
   Another item that I’ve come to appreciate is the kitchen towel and its unique ability to make a kitchen space feel so homey. These knit kitchen towels from Amazon elevate a host’s space while also adding to overall functionality. Pair these with a bottle of wine or sparkling cider and you are a golden gift giver!
   
   
3. Gold Mixology Kit
   No host feels suitably equipped for a shindig without the proper mixology tools. Whether making cocktails or mocktails, having the right equipment to make a guest’s favorite drink will make them feel special and doted on. Help build out your favorite host’s bar with this 10-piece mixology kit with a unique gold finish that makes any cocktail hour a standout!
   
   
4. Beautiful Gold Napkin Rings
   If you’re looking for something that would match the mixology kit, look into these gold napkin rings that would bring a note of elegance to your host’s table. Hopefully you are like me and refuse to believe napkin folding and seasonal place settings are a thing of the past. All you need now is to learn how to do an accurate fan fold and you’re all set to impress your host!
   
   
5. Marble Charcuterie Board
   My husband and I were gifted a marble charcuterie board as an engagement gift a couple years ago, and I can’t tell you how useful it has been. I’m no cured meat artiste, but it has been so fun learning how to set up a quasi-impressive spread to kick off a party. Compliment your friend’s hosting abilities with this marble charcuterie board and be so excited when they pull it out next time your over for dinner!
   
   
6. Botanical Coasters
   A person’s coasters say a lot about them. For example, if they have them, then I’m already wowed. Gift your host the automatic talent to impress with ceramic coasters that match their unique aesthetic. Not to mention, you’ll be saving their tabletops in the long-term!
   
   
7. Marble Wine Chiller
   I’m OBSESSED with my wine chiller. There’s little else that makes me feel like a put-together kind of lady than whipping out one of these bad boys during a dinner party. Watch your host’s eyes brighten when you gift them something that will guarantee their guests will have cold champagne right at their fingertips whenever they’d like.
   
   
8. Glass Flower Vase
   Flowers are a respectable gift for any host. It is a kind and polite gesture that promises smiles all around. The one thing about flowers, though, is what happens if they don’t have a vase available? Next time you plan on bringing flowers, don’t forget the vase! This glass vase is an easy, inexpensive way to ensure your host will have your beautiful flowers on display immediately.
   
   
9. Bread Warmer Basket
   This bread warmer basket has a terra cotta tile at the bottom that can be heated up to keep loaves or rolls warm throughout the entirety of a meal. If your host has a particular affinity for bread making, this would be a welcome addition to their kitchen. Bring the perks of going into a restaurant to your host’s home with this unique gift!
   
   
10. Ribbed Coupe Glasses
    Coupe glasses are classy. Coupe glasses beg for champagne. Coupe glasses are thankfully trending, and you can find really good deals on them right now. A host can never have too many options for drinking vessels and these ribbed coupe glasses add a bit of sophistication midst the everyday tumblers. Cheers to more ways to toast the host!

Cheers!
