Great Hostess Gifts

Here are a few of my "favorite things"


Are you invited to a holiday gathering and in need of a hostess gift?  Need a gift that your friend or family is sure to love that has a personal touch?  One of my sweetest (and so cute) gifts was from my daughter called Mistletoes.  She took a mason jar, filled it with cotton balls, an emery board, seasonal nail polish, and printed a label "Mistletoes" for the lid.  She personalized it with a chalkboard tag and voila!  I have posted it on Pinterest and this has had the most likes and repins of any of my boards!

This year I am putting together small gifts of pancake mixes and maple syrup I found on Vermont Country Store.  A gift everyone can use over the holidays or winter months for those mornings you stay in your pj's and watch the snow fall.  

Beautiful flowering winter plants are always a welcome gift. My personal favorite is the Amaryllis.  It blooms beautifully for Christmas and goes into hibernation until next Christmas.  

Another gift idea I do for hostess gifts is bake small loaves of your favorite bread in holidays tins you can find in any grocery store, wrap in clear wrap and wrap with a beautiful ribbon.  so many different and inexpensive ways of packaging can be found online.
What's your favorite hostess gift?

Happy birthday Ellen!!
