Heading into the 2nd weekend of December, the holiday season is officially upon us. As are invitations to brunch, dinner, cocktails and various office parties. Let us remind you, that in addition to bringing along Secret Santa gifts, it’s important to remember a little something for your host or hostess. While the route of a bottle of wine and homemade peppermint bark is nice, why not go with something a little more exciting this year? Your host most probably has countless potted arrangements by now.

Here are 6 items that really say “thank you for having me”.

1. Cards Against Humanity – The game can spice up your evening with dessert, or something your hostess can pull out during a rainy day with friends.

2. Tory Burch bath soap – An indulgent gift that let’s your host know that you get that throwing a holiday fête is difficult.

3.  Nest Fragrances Holiday Reed Diffuser – An upgrade from the usual candle.

4. Anthropologie Champagne & Strawberry Lollipops – A treat for them to enjoy later. (We like buying a few of these at a time, to keep on hand for the last minute invitation).

5. Gift Boutique’s Baguette Tray – We love this tray because it is an unexpected house ware gift that will most definitely come in handy.

6. Dillon’s Bitters Trio – A perfect addition to their bar cart.

Let the season begin!
