The holiday season is now fully upon us, a time for twinkling lights, crackling fires, and – of course – endless rounds of festive gatherings. While merrymaking is undoubtedly the main course of any holiday party, attending guests often find themselves grappling with the age-old question: what to bring the host/hostess?
My team and I have put a lot of thought into this for you, so you can kick back and enjoy the season. This year, let's ditch the predictable bottle of wine (unless it's accompanied by the reversible wine and snack board that can hold a bottle of wine, in which case, carry on!). We’ve narrowed down the endless possibilities to 4 ideal gift options with links included, so you can have these shipped directly to your home in time for your Christmas and New Years Eve gatherings. It’s always a good idea to bring a hostess gift, so have these on hand for those surprise gatherings so that you can be the most enchanting guest in the land.
Bringing a beautiful spread on a brand new cheese board that the host gets to keep as a gift is probably the best thing you could bring to a party! At Interior Delights, we’ve collected stunning charcuterie boards crafted from a variety of materials, from mango wood to sleek marble. Pair this thoughtful gift with gourmet crackers and artisan cheeses from your local market for a true feast for the senses. We have a variety of boards to choose from, but there is one new item in particular that we’re loving and will probably sell out soon. Impress your hostess with our Reversible Wine and Snack Board. This versatile piece offers two sides to suit your needs: a sleek surface perfect for cheese boards and a compartment side ideal for veggies or desserts. The convenient hole in the center accommodates a dip bowl or wine bottle, keeping the table organized and stylish. This thoughtful gift will elevate any gathering and show your appreciation for the host.
Create a warm and inviting ambiance for your hostess with our Battery-Operated Flameless Candles. These realistic candles flicker and glow, providing a cozy atmosphere for any occasion. With no open flame, they're safe to use around children and pets, making them perfect for year-round enjoyment. This practical and elegant gift will add a touch of luxury to any home.
3. Lighted Champagne Bottle with Swirling Glitter 
Delight your hostess with the magic of our Lighted Champagne Bottle Snowglobe. This enchanting piece features a swirling glitter effect, creating a festive and whimsical scene. Simply flip the switch to illuminate the globe and bring the holiday spirit to life. This unique and eye-catching gift is sure to impress. It will add so much to your New Year's Eve celebrations.
4. Distressed Santa and Reindeer Concrete Figurines
Add a touch of rustic charm to your hostess's holiday decor with our Distressed Santa and Reindeer Concrete Figurines. Crafted from durable concrete and finished with a distressed paint effect, these charming figurines exude vintage appeal. Place them on the mantel, tabletop, or anywhere else in the home to spread holiday cheer. This timeless and classic gift will be cherished for years to come.
Another gift that requires no spending on your part, (but is a thoughtful gesture if you are willing) is discussing with your host or hostess if you can assist with facilitating a game or activity. As a guest, offering up game ideas can be a great way to keep the conversation flowing and the laughter going. Think of classic games with a festive twist, like a holiday-themed trivia game or a gingerbread house decorating contest. You could also suggest some interactive activities like charades or a gift-wrapping relay race. Remember, the best games are the ones that get everyone involved and create some unforgettable memories.
Think of Interior Delights as your holiday hostess gift fairy godmother. Here, amidst curated collections of luxury decorating products and inviting home decor, lie hidden gems waiting to be gifted with a touch of thoughtfulness. Picture this: your hostess, radiating warmth after a night of festivity, cradling a steaming mug of hot cocoa while admiring your thoughtful card and present.
While practicality is important, don't shy away from a touch of whimsy! Interior Delights boasts an array of playful holiday decorations, perfect for the hostess who embraces the joy of the season. No matter what you choose, remember the power of presentation! Pretty wrapping paper and ribbon are half the fun. Tie your gift with a sprig of fresh rosemary or cinnamon sticks for a touch of natural elegance. Or, tuck in a handwritten card or brief letter expressing your gratitude for the warmth and hospitality your hostess has provided.
The best hostess gifts are those chosen with thought and care. They should reflect the personality of your hostess. By selecting a gift that sparks joy, creates a cozy cottagecore ambiance, or adds a touch of whimsy, you're sending a message that goes beyond the material. It's a way to connect with your hostess on a personal level and show your appreciation for their efforts in creating a memorable holiday gathering.
At Interior Delights, we believe that a thoughtfully chosen gift can truly make a difference. We encourage you to explore our extensive collection of home decor and luxury decorating products to find the perfect gift for your hostess this holiday season. May your gift bring warmth, joy, and a lasting memory to the one who has opened their home and heart to you during this festive time.
