I simply adore selecting and giving presents. So it was great fun to put together a holiday gift guide for hostesses (and hosts) in time for the holiday season to kick off with Thanksgiving. I focused on gifts under $100, many under $50. If you're looking for other price points just tell me and I'll see what I can dig up. And, if you have any other areas you're interested in, tell me in the comments. I'll probably add an update in December.

Dude, you totally have a gift for gift giving!
ReplyDeleteOooh! This is an excellent service. Can you suggest something for the following scenario? Something to send favorite aunt, who is hosting Thanksgiving dinner in another city. (Extra-credit question: the guests of honor have just been put on low-cholesterol and low-sugar diets by their doctors. I'm not saying it should be a food gift, but if it is, then it should obey doctor's orders.)
ReplyDeleteThese are great suggestions, I think I may get the salt and pepper shakers for my Aunt as gift, we're doing Thanksgiving at her Palm Springs house :)
ReplyDeleteI agree. I really like the Jonathan Adler stuff. Maybe I'll give the aunt owl napkin rings or an apple trivet.
ReplyDeleteI would accept any and all of these as a gift. :)
