Did your mother teach you to never show up to a soirée empty-handed? Hosting a gathering can be incredibly stressful all on its own, but doing it during the bustling holiday season — well, that comes with even more pressure. You've got to plan out the menu, decide on (and make!) a special holiday cocktail, trim the tree, set out Christmas decorations, spruce up your interior design and so much more. This year, for every holiday party you attend in Philadelphia and beyond, be sure to show your hostess how much you appreciate their hospitality with one of the best hostess gift ideas I've compiled here. From the best hostess gifts for wine lovers to stunning home finds for interior design enthusiasts and even a few edible picks for the foodies out there, I have a feeling both you and they will be thrilled with the items on this list.
Of course, the very best gift of all is simply the knowledge that their hard work is appreciated, which is why a handwritten card alongside any of these gifts really does make all the difference. If you haven't already, consider bringing a Holiday card for your hostess filled with an extra-special message that'll make his or her day. So, here it is. Bring one of these thoughtful, stylish gifts for your host or hostess, and you'll guarantee yourself an invite back.
Up first for any host or hostess is the Succulent Trio. Succulents aren’t just easy to care for—they’re lush, green, work with any interior design decor and make people happy! So send someone a special season’s greetings with these beautiful Holiday Succulents from Lula’s Garden. Arriving in a sleek modern gift box that doubles as the planter itself, the succulents can be watered right in the box. It even includes a “Happy Holidays” sleeve or label to help express your cheer.
