TEN HOSTESS GIFTS THAT WILL TRULY BE APPRECIATED
With the party season rapidly approaching, you may start to find that your social calendar is beginning to swell with invites. I always find that during this time of year my friends like to open their homes to guests by inviting them over for dinner.
A gracious guest will always come bearing gifts - it is a way to thank the host for taking the time and effort to create a lovely evening, but as the guest, what can you gift that is a little more special than the usual wine or chocolates? Here I have rounded up ten unique gifts that your host will truly appreciate.
Harrods Rosé Champagne and Truffles Gift Box
I know that in the introduction I said that these gifts are something a little more special than the usual wine or chocolates, but if you must bring those, why not go a little bit ‘extra’ and gift this elegant set from Harrods. It comes in a beautiful presentation box - Your host will be very happy!
2. The evolution of home coffee table book
For me, there is no better gift than a beautiful book. It is something that I can enjoy and treasure forever - how many gifts provide that magic? Think about your host, what are their hobbies and interests? Select a read that they are sure to enjoy and you will be in their good books forever.
3. charcuterie board set
This charcuterie board set is the perfect gift for foodie friends. Is there anything nicer than relaxing with a group of friends or loved ones and enjoying some delicious snacks and wine? This set comes with everything you need for an elegant yet relaxed evening.
4. Nicolas Fairford garden collection napkins
Linen napkins are another one of those gifts that your host can enjoy and cherish forever. As they clearly enjoy entertaining, napkins are a great choice when thinking of a gift for them. My garden collection napkins come in a set of four - each one representing the beauty of an English Garden. Produced and embroidered in Tuscany from recycled linen, they are not only elegant, but also sustainable.
5. John derian garden rose jigsaw puzzle
I think this jigsaw puzzle is probably the most beautiful I have ever seen. A rose in full bloom. Adapted from a 19th century chromolithograph. Garden Rose challenges the puzzle doer with its subtle tones of parchment and repetition of leaves and thorns, and utterly enchants with the delicate pink bull's eye of its single, mesmerising bloom.
6. Set of morning and evening mugs
In reality you can never have too many mugs! This set of two - one for the morning, and one for the evening, are so charming with their elegant text and gold handles. Whether you’re enjoying your first morning coffee, or a late-night hot chocolate, these mugs are sure to enhance the moment.
7. diptyque eau rose fragrance limited edition set
Giving the gift of scent is one of the most thoughtful things you can do for a loved one. This limited edition set from Diptyque includes a rose-scented hand cream and hair mist. It comes in a gift bag of evening blue, adorned with stars and dancing letters. A truly thoughtful gift for anyone who appreciates fine fragrance.
8. Cabana Hostess Gift Set, Dinner Diary, and Tablecards Set
This wonderful set from Cabana is the perfect gift for anyone who loves entertaining. It comes with a stylish diary, set of 12 menu cards, and 12 place cards. The hardcover Hostess Book features a planning guide for the perfect dinner party from seating charts and menus to decoration and conversation topics, while the stationery set is edged with an embellished border to elevate your entertaining.
9. Nicolas Fairford loose-leaf tea set
My set of three loose-leaf teas is a thoughtful and elegant gift that any tea aficionado would enjoy. The set includes three pouches - Rose Petal Tea, Earl Grey Blue Flower Tea, and English Breakfast Tea. This selection will keep you refreshed from morning, right through till evening.
10. the white company wellness basket
Life can be stressful and we could all use some time for peace and relaxation every once in a while. This lovely Wellness Set from The White Company has everything you need to prepare for a night of heavenly slumber. It includes a scented candle, pillow mist, bath shot, and hand and body balm.
