Unique Hostess Gifts Under $50
It’s that time of year again! Time for family gatherings and holiday parties. I love bringing a gift for the hostess because a little bit of thoughtfulness goes a long way in making them feel appreciated. It’s a lot of work to put on a holiday gathering, so here are some unique ways to say thanks to the hostess in your life.
15 Unique & Affordable Hostess Gifts
1. DOWN TO EARTH: Laid-back Interiors for Modern Living - I recently received a copy of this book from the author Lauren Liess, and it is breathtaking! There’s so much inspiration to be gained from the pages of this book.
2. TERRACOTTA BOWL - Make sure the hostess doesn’t run out of serving bowls by providing one extra!
3. POINT REYES CHEESE COLLECTION - This gift doubles as an appetizer if you’ll be attending any pot lucks this holiday season. You can also find great quality cheese at Whole Foods and Trader Joes if you are shopping in-person.
4. PRETTY BOX OF MATCHES - Striking a match to light a candle is so much more exciting than using a lighter. It’s those little details that make everyday life more beautiful.
5. BLACK TEA LIQUID SOAP - Don’t be afraid to go practical in your gifting - everybody always needs soap! I love the graphic design of this bottle, as well as the unique black tea scent.
6. CEDRUS SOY CANDLE - You can never go wrong with a candle. This cedar-wood scent has the cozy warmth of the holidays without being too obvious or sickly sweet.
7. ROEN AMBER JAR CANDLE - These small-batch candles are inspired by Los Angeles and have unique scents.
8. RATTAN TRAY - I find that trays are one of the most underrated decor items - most homes don’t have nearly enough of them. They’re practical and can instantly unify any corner of a home.
9. LINEN TOTE BAG - This is a stylish and eco friendly alternative to plastic shopping bags.
10. RAW HONEYCOMB - Most people wouldn’t think to buy this for themselves, which is what makes it an excellent gift. It can be used in appetizer recipes or alongside a cheese platter.
11. GOLD CANDLE HOLDERS - Candles can take a dinner table from looking bland to magical in an instant. These gold ones are modern, minimal and lightweight.
12. LINEN TEA TOWELS - I don’t know about you, but I go through tea towels so quickly, I can never have enough. These neutral linen ones would go with any kitchen.
13. AGED BALSAMIC VINEGAR - A staple in any kitchen, this balsamic vinegar has been aged 25 years! It adds so much depth of flavor to any dish. Try adding a bit to your next pan of sauteed vegetables.
14. CRINKLED COTTON THROW - The beautiful texture and warm color of this throw are perfect for the season.
15. PRESERVED FOLIAGE - Instead of a fresh floral bouquet, try a dried and preserved bunch of foliage. The neutral colors are perfect for the season and it never wilts!
