The Best Holiday Gifts For the Host/Hostess: 2013

Ornament


During the holiday season, it’s hard to go wrong bringing an ornament to a host (unless they don’t celebrate Christmas!). But this one is even better because proceeds go to charities providing temporary and long-term housing for in-need youth and families. Pottery Barn, $15

Sour Apples


An especially great gift if you’ll be spending the holidays with your significant other’s family, this gift will be something everyone can enjoy! Target, $26

Gift Card


If your hostess loves shopping for beauty products, she’ll be thrilled with a gift card to beauty playground Gloss 48. Gloss48, Any value!

Poinsettia

The perfect winter flower, poinsettias are an easy, last minute hostess gift you can pick up at pretty much any grocery store during the holiday season. Around $10

Cheese Board


A melted wine bottle cheese board is a great gift that your host will use as soon as they open it. Major bonus points if you bring a great cheese with it! Melted Bottle Clock, $12

Vase


Don’t just bring flowers — bring a beautiful vase too! We love this carved bouquet vase – it’s a fun color and more intricate looking that boring glass ones. Anthropolgie, $24
