Summer Hostess Gifts


During the summer months, many of us will be guests at someone's home for the weekend. Here are some fun ideas for gifts - as you should never arrive empty handed!


A SEA URCHIN vase (perfect for a beach house) filled with fresh flowers from your garden or local market




A candle from NEST

Paired with elegant MATCHES




A lobster bottle opener from MARIPOSA


And a case of LEMONADE




A set of oyster shells which you can find HERE


Along with gourmet SEA SALT 







A set of summer napkins in a fun print from ROBERTA ROLLER which would be perfect for entertaining outdoors. I have a set and use them all the time! 



Melamine Suzani plates from BONGENRE for picnics or the patio


A chic tray from JUST SCANDINAVIAN

Happy travels!
