Gifts For The Hostess & Entertainer — When Their Coveted Invite Comes In, Don't Show Up Empty-Handed

November 4, 2023

As someone who loves inviting people into our home, whether it be for game nights or family dinners, I know my fair share about hosting. And with the gifting season upon us, I've got a few gift ideas up my sleeve that would be perfect for surprising that person in your life who loves throwing dinner parties and hosting game nights. Here are my curated holiday gifts for the hostess and entertainer, sure to impress them and maybe even something they can use for their next event.

Gifts For The Hostess & Entertainer

Leather Tissue Box | $7

I ordered this leather cover in 3 different colors, and I’m so impressed with how pretty it is. I think the hostess in your life would say the same thing. No more ugly cardboard tissue boxes sitting around!

Marble and Copper Cake Stand | $62

Never have I ever seen a cuter cake stand than this marble and copper hex one—perfect for displaying those delicious pastries.

Marble & Brass Bee Cocktail Picks | $44

I would totally gift these to my sister Victoria, who's the ultimate classy dinner party host. They look so cute in that marble honeycomb holder.

Twisted Taper Candles | $27

You can't go wrong with a set of taper candles, especially this set of twisted ones.

Bash Silver Beverage Tub | $119

They would be thrilled to receive this beautiful beverage tub for all their future parties and events they throw.

Small Glass Cloche with Black Matches | $25

I'm such a sucker for a cloche with pretty matches, and if I know anything about hosting, it's that there can't ever be too many candles lit.

Santorini Low Vase | $119

I have this vase in a taller version, and I'm telling you, it's one of my favorites. Make someone's day by gifting this, and they'll think of you every time they put fresh flowers in it.

Pura x Studio McGee Holiday Diffuser Set | $76

I can't think of a more perfect gift to give than a Pura with the most incredible new scents by Studio McGee. I want every room in my house to smell like Cardamom Blossom.

Vintage Record Player | $159

Here's a pro tip to the hostesses and entertainers out there: put on a record to instantly set the mood. Make sure to check the $30 coupon!

Portable Karaoke Machine | $95

With the right kind of crowd, a karaoke night with this portable karaoke machine is my kind of night, and there's a $25 off coupon to help you out.

Monarch Playing Cards | $11

Gift this playing card set to the ones who love hosting game nights. These are the prettiest playing cards I've ever seen and you can't beat that price.

Acacia Burke Salad Servers | $24

A set of stunning salad servers is not only a great gift to give, but it's also a practical and useful one!

Monikers | $24

This is the ultimate party game! Players take turns trying to get their teammates to name well-known people through three different rounds. It's basically a level-up from charades and would make a great gift to game lovers.

Pantry Serving Bowl | $69

You can't ever have too many serving bowls, and this one would make the perfect addition to any hostess's collection.

Warm Natural Cocktail Napkins | $19

These elegant cocktail napkins would make a great gift to anybody who cares about the details that go into throwing a good party.

Olive Oil Almond Citrus Cake Mix | $30

In my opinion, this olive oil cake mix is such an elevated gift idea, and the almond and citrus flavor sounds like the way to the heart.
