BasicallyB Holiday Gift Guide – The Hostess

11.02.23Holiday2

With the holidays right around the corner, we will be spending more time in people’s homes celebrating. My mom always told me to never show up anywhere empty handed – so low and behold the Hostess Gift Guide.

Whether you are going for a dinner party, or full blown Christmas party here is a list of gifts (prices vary) that your host would genuinely appreciate and is not simply a bottle of wine. Let’s make it the year of not boring hostess gifts.

Runamok Sparkle Tonic Maple Cocktail Mixer – Take holiday cocktails to a whole new level! This glitter mixer would make the cutest little gift for any hostess!

Making Spirits Bright: Toast the Season with More than 75 Christmas Cocktail Recipes – I want this book for myself, but would be a great gift to any host this holiday season. Not only does it double as cute holiday decor, but the recipes look super easy and tasty.

Nutcracker dishtowel – Paired with a bottle of wine, this would be a winning combo to show up to any holiday event with!

Merry Pitcher – How adorable is this pitcher? Whether filling it with milk for Santa or holiday punch, this is a unique hostess gift.

Things They Don’t Teach You in School Game – 400 fun facts, random factoids, and pieces of useless knowledge make for a fresh, lively trivia game.

8 Vial Salt Set – Any cook would appreciate this salt set. It will bring all their holiday cooking up a notch.

The Original Wine Condoms – If you are going to gift a bottle of wine this holiday season, adding these wine condoms would be a funny little touch! They keep wine good longer, and they are just a funny concept.

Espresso Martini Cocktail Mix – 2023 was the year of the espresso martini. However, sometimes they are hard to make at home so why not gift a mix that your host can enjoy after the cleanup of the party!?

Bloody Mary Cocktail Branches– These would make a great gift for your loved one that loves a good bloody! Add a bottle of mix or fun garnishes and you have an unique gift to show up with.

Mr. & Mrs. Claus Dessert Plate – These would just be too cute to not not give to someone this holiday season.

Holiday In The City Platter – Bring some holiday cheer to the table with ease using this festive serving platter.

Christmas in the City Puzzle – Who doesn’t love a puzzle!? This would make such a unique hostess gift.

Meyer Lemon Bread Mix – I think that showing up with food to someone’s house is the best hostess gift of them all. This lemon bread mix will make their home smell like summer even in the depths of winter.

Christmas Chalet Teapot – Might have just added this to my own Christmas list, but this adorable tea pot would fit on anyone’s stove top.

Beneoliva Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Striped Ceramic Bottle: This bottle would look so festive on any cook’s lazy Susan this holiday season.

Himalayan Salt Tequila Glasses – These unique “adult” shot glass set would make a great gift for the friend who loves a good margarita or a good time.
