Today kicks off the first of eight holiday gift guides! The holiday gatherings are aplenty, so I thought that I would start out with hostess gifts.
Fun little presents and thoughtful trinkets to bring to a friend’s house to say thanks for hosting! My safe bets are a bottle of wine or champagne, an ornament, or a candle. We have some ornaments and candles on this list, but I wanted to include some other ideas… gifts your host or hostess is sure to adore! Fun games and/or puzzles, items for the home, and (my personal favorite) fancy condiments (the Japanese BBQ sauce is so good, you know I love my margarita salts, and that Brightland mini set is just so great!)
Last minute add: This celebrity couple memory game would be so fun (this would also make a great White Elephant gift!)

I love these as hostess gifts and then also some of them I just want to order for myself – ha!
And also — have to say how much i LOVE this collage format on the photos being a link. I know that’s probably more work behind the scenes than just a static photo collage but want to let you know that at least this blog reader has noticed and loves it!
Thank you! Yeah it is a ton of work but I think it’s worthwhile too. Appreciate the note so much!
