15. Candles
Yes, I know, a candle may seem way overdone. But personally I am always happy to get a candle. I love burning them especially when it’s a beautiful scent. But, if you’re going to do a candle as your gift don’t go for a run-of-the-mill one, splurge a little and find one with pretty packaging and a beautiful scent. Below you’ll find a few that I like.
To me any of these ideas would make a wonderful hostess gift! Most people who host parties do it because they enjoy entertaining. They’ve most likely put a lot of thought, time and effort into putting this event together. Bringing a little something to show your appreciation is a really nice idea and will be extremely appreciated. And just a little reminder, don’t expect your gift to be used that day. Whether its coffee or tea, or the glass markers or stirrers, they might open them up right away, they may not.
