The following weeks will surely be fun and hectic! Christmas activities, gift buying, wrapping and holiday parties. It’s the season of giving and I want to share with you some of my favorite hostess gifts for the holiday season.
Let’s start with the obvious, shall we? The candle. I mean, you can’t go wrong with this one. A pretty candle will always be welcome in your hostess’s home!
You know what other gifts are always welcome? The pampering gifts. A homemade sugar scrub is easy, inexpensive and thoughtful!
Another favorite gift of mine is books, especially books about decorating and entertaining. If your hostess is into cooking, a new cookbook is a great idea!
If your hosts are into wine, then a bottle is an obvious choice. You can kick it up a notch and add a wine opener. Even if they already have one, they could probably use a spare and I love this bright red one!
You can put together a bundle of kitchen essentials for your hosts’s kitchen. Everyone needs an extra timer and how cute is that little reindeer spatula? You can even wrap all these kitchen tools inside a red or white kitchen towel and tie a ribbon around it. Who wouldn’t want that?
Here is a gift that I received from a friend this year – a beautiful ornament. She even included the stand to help me display it. This is such a meaningful gift and I will think of her every year when I display it!
A bundle of holiday scented cleaners is so practical and cute! Pictured below is the Pine scent from Mrs. Meyers cleaners.
Last but certainly NOT least: Hot cocoa and marshmallows inside a holiday mug. Yum!
I hope these suggestions will help you pass along a little cheer to your hosts this holiday season! If you’re looking for more inspiration, head over to my blog, Graceful Order.
Have a good one!

One can never go wrong with the gift of hot cocoa!
I love the idea of giving something consumable so it doesn’t take up space or clutter their home. The cleaning supplies are my favorite. Festive, functional and so thoughtful!
