Next up in my 2014 Holiday Gift Guide series… ideas to make any hostess smile.
Some people entertain with ease, others love hosting but can never quite relax. Either way, a thoughtful hostess gift is a simple way to say “thank you for the invite, we’re so glad we could be here”. While any of these gifts would make the recipient smile as-is, an extra little something (say a cake in the dome or a bouquet in the jug) is the perfect way to add an extra personal touch.
** In an effort to support all the wonderful small businesses out there I’ve included quite a few in this list and have indicated them with a double asteric. Remember to #shopsmall — not only this Holiday season but all year-round! **
