Holiday gifts for the hostess, neighbor or friend are something I like to stock up on ahead of time. I can’t tell you how many times a last minute event has popped up on the calendar and I’m scrambling to find a rogue candle or bottle of wine when I wish I had something special on hand. This holiday gift guide for the hostess, neighbor or friend who loves to host is filled with goodies.
One of my favorite hostess gifts around the holidays is an ornament (how cute is this cheese set?). I have so many collected ornaments on my tree that bring back wonderful memories every time I hang them up! Who doesn’t get a little giddy around Christmas? A good reminder of seasons past. This gift guide is a mix of holiday favorites and entertaining must haves that any hostess, friend or neighbor would welcome around the holidays. I put together a gift guide collection of even more gift ideas for the hostess, if you’re looking for some extra inspiration. You can find my extended gift guide right here.
