Hostess Gifts

I promised some gift ideas and I thought I would start hostess gifts. After all it is the season for parties, and traveling and its always thoughtful to bring something for your hostess. If I was really organized I would buy a few of these gifts ahead of time and just constantly have a stash at my house - that way I wouldn't be running out before the party to grab a bottle of wine or flowers.

Hand Embroidered Napkins - $18 for a set of four.


Not only are these napkins beautiful, but they also benefit woman living in the mountain regions of Pakistan. It's always wonderful to do "good" while gift giving!

Alterra Coffee gift set - $18.95 for coffee, hot cocoa, and all natural granola. Based out of Milwaukee - Alterra coffee tastes phenomenal and is perfect for your hostess friend that is a bit of a coffee snob!

Voluspa Candles - $18.00 for an 80 hour burn candle tin.


Voluspa are the best smelling, least expensive luxury candle available. At just $18 for a burn time of 80 hours they are truly a steal! I suggest the Yuze Bubble Bath scent.

French scented bar soaps - $4.99 each

Package up these inexpensive bar soaps in a basket or bag and decorate with a ribbon for a more luxurious feel.


Olive Oil, Vinegar, Salt, and Pepper containers - $6.99 for the set

Wouldn't these look adorable on top of an oven?

Doll measuring cups - $12.00


Totally obsessed with these - they are sooo adorable! And each portion of the nesting doll is an actual measuring cup. How perfect!

The Little Pink Book of Cocktails - $9.95



Sometimes you need a little hard liquor to make it through the holidays! All that stress! Give this book to your hostess and help her relax with some cocktails.

Slate Wine Coasters - $17.29Perfect for protecting your host's furniture and in a neutral gray/black these will certainly go with anyone's decor.

That's it for Hostess gifts, but stay tuned for more gift ideas!
