Gift Guide for the Hostess

Pin to Pinterest

There is so much fun wrapped up in this list! Your hostess already loves to entertain so, give her something she can use for the next gathering. How about these adorable cheese spreaders? We can’t get over how cute they are! Inspire an Adult Game Night by giving this fun Cards Against Humanity set. What about a chic match strike set? It’s something you’d love to have but, maybe wouldn’t splurge on yourself. Syrups and jams are always a yummy gift to receive. Whichever you choose, your hostess will be pleased with these awesome choices. Happy Gifting!

1.) Floral Cheese Spreaders

These cheese spreaders are the perfect hostess gift. These French Bull spreaders in the Floral pattern are vibrant and fun and sure to make a statement on the table.

2.) Jonathan Adler Candles

Have you smelled the scent of a Jonathan Adler candle. They smell amazing. Jonathan Adler alone has a large selection of home gifts that are perfect for the holidays or visiting a home. We love the Grapefruit scent here, but if you are looking for a different color holder, we suggest the Champagne in gold.

3.) Oster Wine Opener

We have this wine bottle opener and absolutely love it. Best of all it is perfect for a party or special occasion as it can open up to 30 bottles on a single charge.

4.) Kate Spade Spiral Notebook

Staying organized is always important. Consider a new 2016 Kate Spade agenda or notebook for your hostess. A special pen or pencil would be the perfect touch.

5.) Eggnog Amoretti Premium Syrup

Don’t limit this eggnog syrup to a coffee or evening drink, Eggnog syrup for coffee, latte, tea, custard, smoothies and desserts, especially over ice cream. Only 35 calories per serving and 62 servings per bottle, it is begging for some ice cream on the side. Let the festivities begin when you gift this in the home.

6.) Kate Spade Ornaments

Who doesn’t love a little piece of tinsel on the tree? I love ornaments for gifts because it is the gift that never goes away. Every year when a Christmas box is opened, memories can be cherished between you and the recipient.

7.) Jonathan Adler Match Strike Set

This Elephant Match holder and strike is perfect hostess gift or perfect for a white elephant gift. Fab and functional, the frictional surface on the base ignites strike-anywhere matches.

8.) Personalized Beer Craft Holder

A crisp monogram adds a custom touch to a handsome wooden holder featuring an attached bottle opener, making an ideal gift for any home brewer or beer connoisseur.

9.) Copper Moscow Mule Hammered Mugs

Moscow Mules taste better in copper hammered mugs. We love these festive holiday mugs and your hostess will too. Maybe bring a bottle of spritzer with!

10.) D’Evereux Foods Gourmet Jam Set

These jams are on Oprah’s 2015 Favorite Things List. Made with fresh fruit, they are gluten free and all natural sure to please anyone with a special diet.

11.) Cards Against Humanity

Adult only party game, take this to an adult only party. Grab the drinks, get ready for some fun and a lot of laughter. This game has spent years on the Amazon bestseller list.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD

Online you can find ENDLESS Elf on the Shelf Accessories, Books, Games and Toys.

Humphrey’s First Christmas – MUST HAVE CHRISTMAS BOOK!

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

November 9, 2015 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Amazon, Christmas, Online Shopping

This seriously is our FAVORITE book during the holiday season. It is about a precious little camel named Humphrey who takes the long journey to visit Baby Jesus.

Right now on Amazon you can get Humphrey’s First Christmas for as low as $6.81.

A beautifully illustrated Christmas story presented in paperback for the first time. We’ve all heard the story of the three wise men who brought their gifts to Baby Jesus. But what about the camels who carried them? Here is the story of Humphrey the camel and his long, cold journey to Bethlehem. Humphrey has lost his blanket and schemes to acquire a new one. When the party reaches its destination, Humphrey is so drawn to the love surrounding Baby Jesus that he finds himself selflessly giving his new blanket to the Christ child. Carol Heyer’s rich acrylic paintings showcase the quirkiness of the camel and add humor to the story. Here is a book that both entertains and informs without ever straying from the meaning of the holiday.

I shared our book on Instagram (below). You can see how amazing the pictures are – actually my photographs don’t do it justice. This is a book you will hand down for generations, year after year. This is a MUST HAVE CHRISTMAS BOOK!
