Got some holidays happening on your calendar already? When you’re invited to someone’s home, it’s always a good idea to show up with a little something for your host. And if you think your host or hostess believes in the idea that they don’t want a lot for Christmas and there is just one thing they need, we are here to help you make their wish come true. From adorable yet classy wine glasses to stylish kitchenware and home décor accents, find the perfect gift when you go for a cocktail party, Christmas dinner, or spend the weekend visiting an out-of-town friend.
What to Gift for a Cocktail Party?
Sometimes tried-and-tested gifts make the ideal choice. How can anyone go wrong with wine glasses or cheese boards? Consider distinctive designs with textures or the minimalistic style of stemless glass. Add a few scented candles that look as good as it smells. They can ramp up the holidays with the smell of freshly baked cookies, a piping cup of hot cocoa, and pine trees bottled in a scented jar. Not only will these candles bring a peaceful and charming glow, but also elevate their home décor instantly.

Gifts for Elegant Dinner Parties
If it’s a dinner party, chances are your host or hostess likes to spend time in the kitchen, so they’ll probably go gaga over some new gadget. Gift them a versatile blender and get the party started with a batch of margaritas. Or how about a throw? The great thing about throws is you can’t get the wrong size, comes in a variety of vivid colors, and they are just unimaginably super-soft. Go for plaid throws or Santa patterns to bring in the holiday cheer. Other great choices for hostess gifts are candlesticks and picture frames. You can even put a picture of yourself and your hosts in the frame, so they never forget the fun times you’ve had together.

Gifts for Stayovers
Personally, we suggest you send something to your host or hostess after your stay with them. This gives you the opportunity to see their style and taste and get a sense of what they truly need. But it’s also nice to arrive with a gift. Here’s an idea—BYOB—bring your own breakfast! Give them a gift of a waffle maker or nonstick griddle, and surprise them with waffles, pancakes, or eggs in the morning. Another great option would be holiday-themed plush bath towels. These towels are soft, fluffy, and designed to dry much faster than other towels in plenty of fun colors. Choose from a range of inspiring themes: snowman, holy berries, fair isle, and so on.
