Holiday Gift Guide For Your Hostess.

It snowed last night! So it is feeling very holiday-y here in Denver! This makes the holidays feel all that much closer (yeah)! And that means holiday parties are going to be popping up on your calendar before you know it.Hostess gifts are always one of those tricky things I think- and while I think a bottle of wine (or craft beer bomber) is a completely acceptable gift, your hostess may not be the drinking type or you don't want to bring the same thing everyone else is bringing. So I gathered up some pretty alternatives in my holiday gift guide for your hostess (first gift guide of the year - squee!!) .

1 | cute kitchen towel | shop

I think this is a cute way to give more than just a bottle of booze- wrap it up with a cute, useful kitchen towel. Traditional gift with just a cute little twist!

2 | artisan honey | shop

This is a great option that is still along the lines of a more traditional hostess gift- plus it can be particularly appealing if your hostess is environmentally minded (but not vegan). You can find cute bottles of artisan, local honey in most natural grocery stores.

3 | vase set | shop

Flowers are another common and traditional hostess gift- but have no lasting power. Bringing your gift of flowers is a super cute vase or in a vase set is a great way to add a little thought and extra oomph to your gift.

4 | unique salt & paper shakers | shop

Simple and cute and sure to fit into the kitchen of the hostess who loves clean lines and raw textures.

5 | funky bottle opener | shop

It's hard to find a more unique bottle opener than this one- modern and funky for your hostess who enjoys a craft brew (pairing this with a bomber would be awesome too- but phew its pricey as it it).

6 | handmade, hand burnt wooden spoon | shop

A little rustic and super unique - for the hostess who likes to display special pieces and hide her work horse kitchen utensils away.

7 | oven-to-table serving tray | shop

For the baker- gives you the option to take your warm, gooey cookies straight from the oven to the party on a cute serving tray (maybe just warn guests what part is hot).

8 | ceramic spoon holder | shop

For the hostess that likes to keep things clean- this cute ceramic spoon with keep spoon drippage off the countertops.

9 | popcorn kernel and seasoning set | shop

Say I were to invite your over to my house for a holiday party and you wanted to bring a hostess gift- this gift will make you my best friend. On a serious note- this is a fun gift for the snack lover- both savory or sweet.
