Holiday Gift Guide 08: Hostess with the Mostest
A hostess with the mostest entertains with style and grace, while making it look absolutely effortless. For your friend who loves to be the host, send her one of these fabulous gifts that will help her to celebrate with her favorite people, whether it’s a casual get-together or a spectacular soiree.
ONE. Iomoi Coasters — For the hostess who seems to have everything, wow her with a set of these coasters from Iomoi. Available in a multitude of different designs ranging from Party Monkeys to a Pink Floral pattern, you’re sure to find a design that will suit even the pickiest hostess on your list. To make the gift even more personalized, you can add a 3 letter monogram or name (up to 32 characters long), so the possibilities are endless. The glass coasters come packaged in a chic chocolate gift box and are available in quantities ranging from one coaster ($26) to a set of twelve ($215). With these on her table, her next party is sure to go smoothly! - productwhore
TWO. Bailey Doesn’t Bark Four Seasons Cup Set — Have a friend who loves entertain? Gift her this gorgeous set of porcelain cups by Bailey Doesn’t Bark, which are perfect for sitting down with a cup of tea and relaxing after throwing a gigantic bash! Each of these cups are beautifully illustrated and hand decorated with a tree representing each season and are meant to be rotated throughout the year. (These are completely dishwasher-safe, so she can just stick them in the dishwasher before she heads up to bed.) Tuck in your favorite box of tea along with this gift, and I guarantee that you’ll be receiving an enthusiastic thank you note from your friend – since after all, that’s what a good hostess would do! - thedailyobsession
THREE. Tocca Travel Candle Set — Show your gratitude to the fabulous hostess of the party with this elegant candle set. With Tocca, you know that you’ll be gifting incredibly luxe scents and this set is a great way to experience the brand. It contains 4 travel-sized candles in Cleopatra (cucumber and tangy grapefruit), Grace (Casablanca Lily), Havana (spicy sugarcane and rum), and Kyoto (fruity-floral), as well as a matching matchbox. It’s all packaged in a lovely gift box, and your hostess will love taking these on her travels or using them to relax around her home. Who wouldn’t love that gift? - ninabee
FOUR. Jo Malone Deluxe Soap Set – For the gracious hostess who is letting you stay with her this holiday, bring her this decadent box of Jo Malone guest soaps. The luxurious box includes a pretty soap dish and eight fragrant soaps in two of Jo Malone’s signature scents: Lime Basil & Mandarin and Wild Fig & Cassis Guest Soaps. She’ll love displaying these sophisticated soaps because they’re so wonderfully scented; even better, her future guests can wash up with a little bit of luxury – only to complement her on the fabulous soaps when they walk out of the powder room. BONUS: The box is already so lovely and tied up with grosgrain ribbon, there’s no need to gift wrap! - thedailyobsession
FIVE. Swarovski Annual Ornament — On a recent trip to the Saks flagship on Fifth Ave, I was greeted by a whole section of these Swarovski stars and was immediately transported to a holiday wonderland. Unlike so many other ornaments, this star is simply stunning and not cheesy at all. Every year Swarovski does a different star and I think their design for 2008 is especially pretty. In fact, I would hang this year-round in my window to catch the light after the tree is taken down. Every hostess would love this bit of holiday sparkle in her home. - perfumed
SIX. SURevolution Small Enamel Copper Spice Bowl – Feeling inspired from a recent vacation to India, my eye was attracted to these brilliant enamel jewel-toned bowls. The vibrancy and lushness of the gorgeous red, blue and purple tones against the opulent gold, makes these bowls a welcome addition for any holiday table. They are perfect for standing as decoration on their own, or for displaying anything from spices to snacks. The fact that each bowl is priced at only $35, also makes it possible for you present your favorite hostess with a set of different colors. - joie
