Gift Guide: For The Hostess


Every hostess will enjoy a delicious candle for their home over the holidays like these from MATOUK.


Or one of my holiday favorites - Thymes FIR candle

Since everyone has an iPad or a Kindle, how about a chic cover? Find one HERE




Give something other than wine like a bottle of truffle oil - a decadent splurge that any hostess will enjoy. Buy some HERE






Or a bottle of MOLTON BROWN hand wash in Thai Vert


Make a container of BOOZY OLIVES and you can find the stylish containers HERE



Friends of ours always send a box of homemade cheese straws and they are to.die.for! Bake up a batch, package them in a nice tin and what a perfect gift - they go so well with cocktails! RECIPE


Put together a small basket with FIG JAM, delicious CRACKERS and CHEDDAR CHEESE





Monogrammed cocktail NAPKINS that look like linen, but are actually paper. 



A set of chic NAPKIN RINGS from Sue's store at the Zhush will add holiday pop to any table top.  





Paperwhites are a holiday classic. This adorable KIT includes everything you need. 


And if you want to put something under the tree for the host (not just the hostess), a needlepoint FLASK


Cheers to the holiday season!
