Gift Ideas to Give to Hosts This Holiday Season
With the holiday season approaching, visits to family and friends' homes for fun gatherings are approaching. The polite thing to do when visiting is to bring your hosts a little something special to say thank you for the invitation. Here are a few suggestions for seasonal and classic host gifts for the fall and winter holidays:
Scented Candles
Scented candles are sure to be a favorite, especially around Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas. Pumpkin and apple scents bring a fall feeling into a home, and spruce and cinnamon smell just like the winter holidays.
Chocolates
A box of chocolates is always popular and such a sweet gesture to your host.
A Deli Tray
A tray full of cheese, olives, and sausage with some nice crackers from a deli are a tasty treat for your host and their guests. Offer to bring this tray as an appetizer and your host will surely thank you.
A Cookie Jar
A cookie jar filled with cookies is a great gift to bring around Christmas time. Something homemade is always appreciated, so look up your favorite cookie recipes and get baking.
Ornaments
Ornaments are very popular around the holidays. Your host will remember you each time they hang the ornament on their tree, year after year.
Shop Local
If you are looking for a local or personalized gift, check out boutiques around you. In Lexington, look for great gift ideas at Shop Local Kentucky, Worlds Apart Home, Peggy’s Gifts and Accessories, or Chandler Reese Boutique.
Some of the items at Chandler Reese are perfect for a Kentucky-themed gift, such as Kentucky coasters, a piece of Kentucky artwork, and even a rustic wine rack. All of these would make great gifts this holiday season.
Flowers
If you are looking for something fast but beautiful, an arrangement of fresh seasonal flowers is something that will be appreciated by any host.
No matter what you choose as a host gift, you will be showing your gratitude for their invitation into their home and they will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
