Ah, tis the season for all those amazing Holiday parties! It is so fun to dress up, celebrate the holidays and catch up with friends. I try to be a thoughtful gift giver, but it can be hard and when it comes to hostess gifts. I have found that if you have a stash it is an easy way to look fabulously put together (not to mention thoughtful) without much effort at all. Prior to the holidays gearing up I make sure to have a stash of little gifts that will be sure to please just about anyone.
Here is my list of favorite hostess gifts, and as a bonus – they are all less than $15!
Gift #1: Bath & Body Works Candles – Now I have to caveat this with the fact that these are normally $20 a piece. However, Bath & Body Works regularly (and by regularly I mean at least every other week) has these on sale for 2 for $22, making them $11 each. I have tried all sorts of candles and these are by far my favorite. The scents are amazing and with flavors such as Winter Candy Apple, Spiced Apple Toddy and Red Velvet Cupcake they are festive, fun and amazing quality.
Gift #2: Lip Gloss – Stila Lip Glaze Trio $15; NYX Butter Gloss Lip Set $10 – Who doesn’t love Lip Gloss? I have to say that this is an amazing gift for almost everyone. This was the first hostess gift I gave someone and they actually stopped me to thank me for the fabulous lip glosses. I game myself a little pat on the back….
Gift #3: Clever Notepads from Ben’s Garden, $14 – I love my iphone but I have to admit that I still love to write a notes. Be it a to-do list or message to a loved one these fun and classy notepads are the perfect gift.
Gift #4:
Crate and Barrel Candy $6.95 – $15.00!!! Crate and Barrel has awesome candy that is packaged adorable and absolutely delicious. These are fun confections that can be enjoyed by all and just the perfect bite to curb that sweet tooth.
Gift #5: Sur La Table Mason Jar Shot Glass Set of 4 $9.95: These adorable, tiny mason jars are so on trend and the perfect way to invite holiday cheer in a fun way.
I hope that these fun gifts help give you some ideas for your parties this year.
Happy Holidays!
Catherine
