Gift Guide for the Hostess

Gift guide for the hostess in your life – kitchen gifts they’ll love on the daily, and to have on hand the next time they entertain!

Hostess Gift Ideas

This gift guide for the hostess list is a combination of gift ideas you could bring to a holiday party as a hostess gift and gift ideas that would be good to gift to someone who loves to host. Or, you know…yourself if you love to host! I’m not here to judge.

  1. Spritz glasses – These oversized glasses are gorgeous in person and make THE best spritz glasses! Bonus: They come in a nice box that is great for gifting.
  2. Haus aperitif – I love to pair the glasses above with a bottle of Haus, my go-to aperitif! Makes a great spritz – just mix with club soda. Rose Rosé is my favorite flavor. Use code NAT20 for 20%.
  3. Marble wine chiller – I have and love this one from Crate and Barrel but this one from Amazon looks identical. I keep it in my fridge so it’s chilled and ready to go! Pair with a bottle of wine. Bonus: You could also use this as a utensil holder or vase when not in use for wine!
  4. Pistachio pedestal – Great for having out on the counter or adjacent to a charcuterie board, this dish has a lower layer to discard the shells. Brilliant!
  5. Himalayan salt tequila shot glasses set – Because tequila shots are the best shots. Crafted from Himalayan salt, these glasses give your shot of tequila or mezcal a delicious, salty finish. Bonus: Salt is naturally antibacterial! Pair with a bottle of tequila for a fun white elephant gift!
  6. Indoor s’mores fire pit – Great for an interactive dinner dessert!
  7. Graza Drizzle extra virgin olive oil – Consumables make great hostess gifts and everyone uses olive oil – Graza is a great finishing oil!
  8. Marble salt cellars – I received these as a gift and love them! I use these to store my fancy salts like Maldon flakes (would be cute to pair with for a gift!)
  9. Cocktail mixing glass – I use this all the time when hosting to mix up a round of drinks at once. And in general – the size + pour spout comes in handy in the kitchen for things outside of bartending, too (I use it to mix and pour pancake batter and eggs, haha!). Would pair with these cocktail mixing spoons.
  10. Pasta maker – This is on my list this year. Making homemade pasta would be such a fun girls’ night activity or date night!
  11. Carbone pasta sauce – Specifically the spicy vodka kind! Fancier than your normal sauce. Would pair well with the pasta maker! Comes in cute Carbone packaging that makes it easy to gift.
  12. Sushi plate set – Perfect for the person who gets a lot of takeout sushi! Or would be cute to pair with a sushi-making kit for a sushi date night! This one from Amazon is also cute!
  13. Sake set – We have this and it looks so nice in person that we keep it out on our bar! You fill up the bowl with ice for chilled sake at home. Pairs well with sushi!
  14. Boozy brunch set – This is such a good deal – six glasses and the pitcher! Perfect for hosting brunches or serving batch cocktails!

    So many great ideas here! I would add a candle or a scent in any form, it’s a classic for a last minute present 😬

Seeing Taylor Swift in person…WOW. Completely co Seeing Taylor Swift in person…WOW. Completely converted me into a Swiftie in a way I was not prepared for. 

To give credit where credit is due, my friend who invited me to come with her to the concert did so much research and was an EXPERT at making sure we had the greatest experience, and I decided to document all that knowledge for anyone else headed to a show via a blog post with *13* essential tips. You won’t regret knowing these things heading into a show! 🫶
