Whenever we are hosted by friends or family for the holidays, it’s always nice and thoughtful if you can bring a gift… even when they tell you not to!  Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!

ONE // MR AND MRS GLASSES // These Kate Spade glasses are perfect if you host and hostess happen to be newly weds or great for a lovely couple that you truly admire!

TWO // DISCO GNOME // Okay, I know I’ve listed this in a gift guide previously, but they are SO FUN!!!  Every home need a happy and shiny gnome – great for the holiday season or year round as I keep mine out!  I have the large version and recently sent the smaller one to one of our family members {who don’t know so hope you don’t figure it out if you’re reading}!

THREE // WINE + TOPPERS // When I don’t have time to go shopping, then I bring a bottle of wine.  EASY!  I also happen to stock up on wine bottle accessories so I can dress a bottle up fast.  These holiday ones are so cute – really love the fur stole!  I’ve also used these slate tags throughout the year for a personalized message.

FOUR // NEST HOLIDAY CANDLE // I know this is a great hostess present as I received one myself!  It smells BEAUTIFUL and also comes in a 3-wick size.  BTW, did you know that NEST is made from FDA-approved wax AND you can reuse the container?!

FIVE // BOUCHON BY THOMAS KELLER COOKBOOK // For your foodie friends or family.  If you’ve been there, then you KNOW the food is absolutely delectable.  If you haven’t, then TRUST ME!  It’s divine.

SIX // FLOWERS + VASE // Flowers are always a great idea and even better when you bring them in a beautiful container!  It serves as a memory of your time well spent!

SEVEN // BUTTERCREAM ROSE CAKE // Let them eat cake!  No worries if you aren’t a baker because you can order and/or send this bad boy!  Buttercream and beautiful.

EIGHT // OLIVE OIL + BALSAMIC VINEGAR SET // I religiously keep these Sotte Voce infused balsamic vinegar and fungi olive oil stocked in my house.  I’ve also had these shipped to friends and family.  The Aceto Balsamico spices up a basic salad and make caprese salad even more to-die-for! The Olio ai Funghi is SO GOOD as a base for breakfast eggs.
