Great Ideas for Hostess gifts

By Joshua Nikenya


Hostess gifts should be picked according to the taste of your host. Nevertheless, it is hard to decide on the gift you'll give your host. Chocolate and flowers are common gifts, but if you'd like to be unique, there are other alternatives which need creativity. If you want to surprise your host, this is how you'll do it:

Has the host set a theme for your party? The gift you bring should fit the theme for the party. For instance, you can bring something for the garden like a gift certificate from the local nursery, herbs in a pot or gardening gloves, only if it is a spring party. For a Christmas party, you can give the host some home-made Christmas cookies, Christmas candles or a CD of Xmas carols.

Figure out the dislikes and likes of your host. If you discover that he's a great cook, you can buy him a neat gadget for his kitchen or the most recent food cook book. If she likes reading books, you can get her a nice photographic book or a jeweled/ribbon book mark. Some beautiful fabric for a future project can do if the host is a quilter. If she enjoys writing, you can get her some stationery.

Another kind of present that'll be appreciated is any home-made gift. If the host is allergic to a certain food, you can make a box of biscuits from a safe recipe. Have you got a craft or art skill? If that is the case, you can scrapbook some photos of the party or people at a door stop. The hostess gifts are not necessarily the expensive gifts.

If you have received an invite to a House Warming party, you've got to ask for a list of the items they want for the new house. If there is not any list, be original and don't buy glasses if the host did not ask for one. Regardless of if it is tricky to choose one, you can select a wall art which will impress the host. You can also give a pot stand or an unusual vase.

Does the host drink coffee or tea? The venue for your party should have different coffee blends and teas. A special teapot or unusual mugs should be included.

For a Cocktail party, you need to use decorated champagne glasses or martini. Fill them with ribbons, chocolates and other bar accessories such as a bottle opener, straws and toothpicks.

Basket ideas can also match the set theme: such as Irish delicacies and beer for St. Patrick's Day; champagne and chocolates for Valentine's Day.

Hostess gifts can work only if you take time to think up creative ways. The only way to show that you appreciate being invited is by surprising your host with a gift that suits the set theme. Besides, that is what you would want when you throw your own party. Therefore, in the first week after the party, you need to send the host a thank you note.
