It’s finally the season of Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas and Hanukkah celebrations and holiday parties galore. To thank your friends and family for graciously hosting a fabulous get-together, it’s always a good idea to bring along a token of your appreciation.
In order to not show up empty-handed, you could always say ‘thank you’ with the obligatory bottle of their preferred beverage — like wine or whisky. But why not get a little more creative when gifting your host this season? Whether you’re attending a holiday party or turning their guest room into your winter vacation getaway, we’ve rounded up 17 thoughtful gifts to bring along with you for the host or hostess.
If your host is known for getting experimental in the kitchen with new recipes and cuisines, go for a foodie-friendly gift such as Brightland’s Oprah-approved deluxe olive oil duo or a hosting apron from Selena Gomez’s Our Place collection. For new friends, you can never go wrong with a festive scented candle or luxe hand soap. To keep the party going all night long, consider gifting a wine chiller (with a basket of wine to put inside of it) and a set of handcrafted glasses to quite literally top it off.
No matter who you’re shopping for, there’s a gift to help you express your gratitude for every host that will ensure you get invited back for the next get-together. Ahead, shop our picks for the best host gifts this season, including some gift ideas you might want to purchase for yourself.
