Blogging About Gifts

If you are going to be heading to a new year’s Eve party at someone’s home this year, here are few great gift ideas for you to take along for the host or hostess:

Coordinating Dishtowels: Dishtowels may not be the most heart felt gift you can give, but when they come from Williams Sonoma, they can be. Your hostess will appreciate your good taste and sense of quality. A set of 4, thick, waffle weave dishtowels costs $16.

Small House Plant: Fresh flowers may seem like the perfect gift for a hostess, but actually, they are not. Your hostess gift should treat the hostess, so don’t get flowers, which may cause her to have to find a vase for them. Instead, pick up a lovely house plant at your florist or even the florist department at your grocery store.

Kitchen Soap Gift Set: Essential oil liquid hand soap and lotion sets are a great idea. These sets look great next to a kitchen sink and will be a very useful, but generous gift.

Hot Cocoa Gift Set: Nothing is quite as comforting as a hot cup of cocoa on a cold winter night. Red Envelope has a decadent hot cocoa gift set by New York City chocolatier MarieBelle. For $26 you get 6 packets of Venezuelan cocoa in a lunchbox style tin. This sinfully delicious cocoa comes to life with hot water, but when refrigerated, becomes a dark, silky smooth Crème de Chocolat and can be eaten by the spoonful!
Candle Set: Illuminations online and brick and mortar stores carry a nice selection of high quality candles and gift sets. This delightful little gift set comes with a sculpted wood dish, with 3 square, vanilla scented candles and some vanilla potpourri. Your hostess will enjoy this gift every time she uses it!
