5 Hostess Gifts for the Holidays

November 22, 2017

5 Holiday Hostess Gifts

This time of year brings a season of hustle and bustle as we celebrate the holidays. There are parties, friendsgivings, ornament exchanges, holiday brunches, and so much more as we near the end of the year. Behind all of the celebrations are the hostesses that welcome us into their homes and create a fun atmosphere to celebrate. I always make sure I attend these events with a hostess gift in hand. If you’re needing a little inspiration or ideas on what to give your host or hostess, you’re right where you need to be. These are 5 hostess gifts that are truly thoughtful and fun to give.  Each one only takes about 10 minutes or less to put together and they range in price points. There’s something for everyone!

1. Holiday Stovetop Simmer

Greet the host with this adorable stove top simmer by Evermine for their home during the holidays. They can either save it for later or put it on the stove to enjoy during the party. I’ve heard nothing but great things about stove top simmers to create amazing smells throughout the home.

2. Home Decor Gift Basket

Rustic-Housewarming-Gift-Basket-Idea

You know I’m all about home decor. So to gift a hostess with a basket full of home items is something I can do! It has all of the essentials that every homeowner loves: candle, Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap, buffalo check dish towel, greenery, and a cute sign. Angela Marie Made certainly knows how to put together a gift basket!

3. Sangria Kit

Sangria in a bottle for the hostess

Need I say more? I think we can all agree a homemade sangria is delicious. But, hello! Fantabulosity shows us how to use a drink dispenser and place the ingredients inside to give as a gift. It’s pretty much a genius idea! 

4. Breakfast Basket

Breakfast Basket for the hostess

Now, this is a thoughtful gift for the hostess. After throwing one amazing gathering, the last thing he or she wants to think about is breakfast the next morning. Make waking up after planning such a festive event, a joyful and relaxing one. Jenny Steffens included banana bread, whipped butter, and gourmet coffee in her basket.

5. Champagne Adorned with Festive Items

Hostess Gift for the Holidays

Need to be able to create something quickly? Try this amazing idea by Melissa Creates. If it’s during the holiday season, attach an ornament that reminds you of the host on a bottle of champagne. Roll a magazine the host will enjoy and attach it to the champagne bottle with a ribbon. In under 5 minutes you’ll have a gift for the hostess. This one just might be my favorite because it’s the one I received from Melissa!

As you attend holiday gatherings, don’t forget to thank those that made the events possible. These are 5 quick and inexpensive ways to do just that. Which hostess gift is your favorite?

This pretty much sums up the progress of making 25 This pretty much sums up the progress of making 250 cement tiles. But I’m halfway through! The moment I finish the last tile is the moment I knock out the old tile. Let’s do this!
Time to bet on my DIY skills! I’m attempting to Time to bet on my DIY skills! I’m attempting to make my own cement tiles for our outdoor front door area. Mainly because of what I’m saving vs buying them. Won’t be saving much on time but I’M MAKING TILES! Never thought I’d hear myself say that. Make sure to follow along because if this works out, I have a feeling a lot of you are already eyeing a spot in your home to try your own DIY cement tiles. 
 
Thank you @vintagerevivals and @abby_roadhome for showing it’s possible with your gorgeous bathroom tiles!

We got the call that the pool build is starting! W We got the call that the pool build is starting! Which had me scrambling to dig up all the plants that were in the way in an effort to save them. Literally down to the last second before the crew showed up. Exciting day but you know what’s even more exciting? Knowing the next crew will officially be breaking ground with the excavation phase of the build.
This time of year is full of organizing and purgin This time of year is full of organizing and purging to bring spaces back to life. But sometimes all a space needs to feel refreshed is, well, a refresh and a little attention. Your number one requested space was the living room. So I gave mine a refresh with some unique and gorgeous finds from @homesense_us . I found a few fun pots for my houseplants, a gorgeous magnifying glass, and a few other items for our coffee table and couch.

I never know what I’m going to find when I walk into Homesense since it’s always rotating with amazing finds. But I do know I’ll walk out with a few new favorites for my home at affordable prices. If you haven’t yet, I urge you to check and see if you have a Homesense near you! #DiscoverHomesense #HomesensePartner
2022, you were awesome. But I’m determined to ma 2022, you were awesome. But I’m determined to make 2023 even better! And I hope you join me! We can be one of our biggest cheerleaders, but together we’re going to do big things. Go ahead and write down a big, small and a few in-between projects you want to get done this year in your home. Kicking it off with intention and that reminder that we can do this. Ready to get started?! Let me know in the comments the first project you want to tackle!
We finally got the Christmas/winter edition of the We finally got the Christmas/winter edition of the window projection up and running! It was a hit for Halloween and just as fun for this time of year as well. I built frames wrapped with a plastic drop cloth but you can also secure the drop cloth over the windows using command strips. The videos are from @atmosfx and we use a mini projector to play them on the screen. Place a Bluetooth speaker outside and you’re in business! Such a fun addition this time of year for the exterior of your home.
It’s the last little bit of the demo we needed t It’s the last little bit of the demo we needed to do in order to give the green light for the pool to start. And 2,456 pavers later, it’s done! This was exhausting but worth the money we saved doing it ourselves. And why remove them? We’re using a different stone around the pool and we want it to be cohesive up to the house. Don’t worry, someone got one heck of a deal on these pavers, we made a little money, and someone else got them out of our driveway. I’d say that’s a win-win. Stayed tuned for the entire pool process as we enter 2023. It’s going to be pretty exciting to watch!
Our patio space has served us so well over the yea Our patio space has served us so well over the years and now it’s time for a change because we’re getting a POOL!! Sharing this with you makes it even more real because just a year ago I would have told you it isn’t in the cards for us. We’ll be breaking ground soon but first we have to remove the screen enclosure. Spoiler: we won’t be putting one back up around the pool. It has already made the biggest difference visually and SO much natural light pours into our home now with it gone. It’s going to be so exciting seeing this all unfold so stay tuned! Up next: removing the pavers.
This holiday season we were able to travel to my h This holiday season we were able to travel to my hometown for the first time in awhile. We were greeted by the most beautiful sunset on the beach. Fast forward to this week as I headed to @homesense_us for some holiday shopping, and I ended up finding a few pieces for our home that remind me of that core memory on the beach. The beautiful wicker bench caught my eye first followed by the comforter and toss pillows. Everything at amazing price points while not sacrificing style and quality. #HomesensePartner

Mixing a thrill of a find with a core memory, I guarantee you'll fall in love with your home even more as you go to decorate. Decorating your home isn't grasping on to the newest trend or what you think others would do. It's what YOU want to do. And sometimes that's based on an emotional connection. Oh, the stories your spaces will be able to tell as you decorate each one. Start with seeing if there’s a @homesense_us near you! #DiscoverHomesense #HomesenseSarasota
