Holiday Hostess Gifts 2010

Posted: December 13, 2010    In: Perspectives    Comments: 6

“Tis the season to be jolly!” As someone who enjoys entertaining for the holidays I equally enjoy being a guest at someone’s home.  And if you’re like me, I am always searching for a unique hostess gift to bring that isn’t the typical bottle of wine.  Below are a few of my favorite hostess gifts that I am planning on giving during this holiday season.

Make your own cocktail mixers dressing them up in beautiful holiday wrap.  I’m planning on making some yummy fruit nectars for a seasonal Bellini.

Ideas and recipe from Martha Stewart

I think I will also pick up a few of these beautiful bottle stoppers by Jonathan Adler. They are all adorable, however my favorite is the elephant stopper.

Or what about a beautiful basket filled with a few mugs filled with hot cocoa mix and some homemade peppermint marshmallows.

These lovely gold beaded coasters from Pier One would also make a lovely gift as well.

Happy holidays!
