Holiday Hostess Gift Ideas

The holidays are here! And our calendars are full of Thanksgiving + Friendsgiving gatherings and Christmas parties. It is the perfect time to plan and prepare something extra-special for the entertaining hostesses.

I know that last-minute scramble feeling all too well. When you have the best intentions of grabbing something thoughtful for that friend or family member that opens their home, only to have the event sneak up on you without ever getting around to it.

Not that they would be expecting something or thinking anything differently, of course. But it’s all in the spirit of joyfully giving.

Growing up I watched my mom put together a shopping bag full of little gifts in advance that she could hand out during the holiday season.

In that bag, you could usually find a festive hand soap rolled inside a decorative hand towel and tied together with a pretty ribbon. The perfect little thank-you gift on hand whenever you need it. I always thought that was so smart!

This year I decided to visit Target and Williams-Sonoma to get everything I needed for a few cute, thoughtful hostess gifts. Here are 5 inexpensive holiday hostess gift ideas that will keep you from scrambling last minute.

 

5 Holiday Hostess Gift Ideas

 

Gift idea #1

Here is a money-saving tip- divide a nice pack of kitchen towels among several gifts. The silicone spatula and pumpkin cookie cutters were from the dollar spot section at Target. This is a great Thanksgiving hostess gift idea! This gift comes in at only $15.

Gift idea #5

Another amazing find at the Target dollar spot. It’s the best place to find pieces for your hostess gifts at a crazy good price! This wooden Christmas tree tray was only $5- I wish I could share a link. You’ll have to check your local store. Get all the pieces for this gift under $20.
