While the traditional party, event, and holiday landscape scene may have changed, a southerner’s view of what’s proper never does. Whether you’re going to an intimate gathering or a wild soiree of 10+, you’ll want to go prepared with an appropriate hostess gift. For my first gift guide, I’m excited to offer up 10 holiday hostess gift ideas that will wow any generous host and keep you on the invite list for years to come.

I’ve always loved the gesture of giving a host/ hostess gift. Sometimes it can be tricky if you don’t know the person very well or if it’s one of those challenging people that are impossible to buy for. When I feel overwhelmed by the need to give the perfect gift, I try to think about a reversed situation. I always appreciate the thoughtfulness of a gift more than the item itself. Once I put that into perspective, the task seems to get a little easier. In today’s gift guide, I’ve rounded up 10 of the best host/hostess gift ideas that are meaningful and useful. I hope these ideas help minimize your gifting anxiety and help you focus on the excitement of actually attending an event this year!

cheers!
