BE KIND TO PARTY GIVER
Show your appreciation to friends and family who work so hard hosting all the holiday parties. There’s an old saying that you should never show up empty-handed when you’re invited to someone’s home. Wine, flowers and dessert are always a great idea but sometimes going a step further with a thoughtful gift can mean so much more. After all, the host is probably doing all the grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning…so they deserve an extra bit of gratitude.
One fun idea is to bring over your goodies in an adorable bag that the host gets to keep. From a single bottle wine bag to our favorite – a wine tote with cooling lining (to stylishly store food) with pockets that fit up to 4 bottles or a chic grocery bag like a leather market tote that looks beautiful hanging in your entryway or an adorable cotton canvas shopping bag with interior pockets that say, “Bread, Cheese, Wine, Vegetables, Fruit, Flowers,” you are sure to wow the host with these luxe gifts.
We’re also loving gifts that are perfect for entertaining like cocktail shakers, luxe ice buckets, colorful coasters, leather placemats, cigar humidors, chic trays and charming drink tags with the cutest sayings like “Wine Not, Cheers, Drink Me, Congrats, TGIF and Enjoy!” Looking for something even more unique? Try gifting a plant inside a beautiful leather planter that any host is sure to love.
