1. A decorative caddy

Putting together a care package for your hostess is always a great idea. Pack a caddy or basket with some basic self-care essentials like bath fizzies, lotion, and body scrubs, or create a personalized arrangement of her favorite treats (think flavored coffees or special snacks). The best part? She can continue using the container for stylish storage after the holidays, making it the gift that keeps on giving.

2. A presentable cutting board

Hostesses generally love entertaining, which is why a stylish cutting board is a smart gift idea. She can use it for culinary presentations or prop it up against the kitchen backsplash for a chic statement. And if she’s a hostess who doesn’t love it? Well, she can always use this functional gift for cooking prep instead. Shop our pick for a stylish cutting board that can be used as a serving platter or prep board.

3. A pair of bookends

Organized and disorganized folks alike can appreciate the simple efficiency of a stylish pair of bookends. Choose a design that incorporates her favorite things for a more personalized approach. There are options for animal and sports lovers!

4. A fun clock for the wall or tabletop

Want to leave a lasting impression long after your visit? Consider choosing a wall clock or a tabletop clock for a thoughtful and unexpected holiday hostess gift. This traditional accent adds so much atmosphere to living rooms, hallways, or home offices, and it’s sure to remind her of your “time” together on a regular basis.

5. A throw blanket

It’s hard to beat the comfy-cozy appeal of curling up on the couch in a super-soft throw. (Bonus points if it’s super stylish, too.) Buy her one in a solid, neutral hue or fluffy faux fur for maximum versatility.

6. Drinkware

Is your holiday hostess a big fan of herbal tea? Bring her a cast iron teapot or fun-colored teapot with her favorite flavors tucked inside. Does she love going to wine tastings? Give her a set of wine glasses or a crystal decanter instead. You could even bring a wine holder with her favorite kind of wine or a few different kinds. From bar essentials to coffee mugs, drinkware is always appreciated.

7. A festive but neutral wreath

A warm and welcoming hostess deserves a gift with the same attributes. That’s why a wreath is such a great gift idea. From seasonal styles to traditional greenery, these designs go with anyone’s home decor and are the perfect accent for her front door or a bare window.

8. A photo frame

Help her treasure the memories of your holiday get-together with a photo frame she can display later. This sentimental present also reminds you to take a picture together — something you’ll be glad you did for years to come.

9. Flowers or plants

Whether you bring succulents, ferns, or pretty botanicals, potted flowers are always a do. She can showcase them as a centerpiece on her dining room table or use them as a gorgeous addition to a windowsill or side table.

10. Desk accessories

From phone holders and desk calendar to metal storage bins and organizers, there’s something really delightful (and useful!) about these home office essentials.
