Host Gift Fix

It’s always a fantastic idea to bring a host or hostess gift to any event, whether a quick dinner, weekend visit, or elaborate housewarming party. If you know the host personally, you probably already have the perfect gift in mind. However, if you’re feeling a little rusty in the gift-giving department, there are a few host gift fixes for you to fall back on. Ranging from classics to unique and innovative, these gifts are guaranteed to put a smile on your host’s face.

For the Host With a New Home

If your host or hostess just recently moved, it’s a nice gesture to bring a gift to help them get on their feet. For anyone starting off in a new home or apartment, sourcing all the items necessary to furnish a kitchen can be an overwhelming task. The brand new Steel 15 Piece Utensil Set from OXO is an amazing way to gift multiple items in one single package. This sleek set encompasses all kitchen utensil essentials—featuring a serving spoon, 12-inch locking tongs, a pie server, and twelve other unique utensils. Even proficient chefs and bakers will find a new favorite utensil in this assortment. 

For the Foodie

Bread baking became extremely popular during the months that all of us were quarantining—even to the point where it was almost impossible to get bakeware essentials like loaf and baguette bakers. Now that everything is back in stock, bread baking essentials are at the top of everyone’s wish list—especially foodies. For the carb connoisseur, check out the Mini Baguette Baker in Burgundy by Emile Henry. This mini baker comes in an eye-catching bright red color, and allows the user to make four miniature baguettes—which, as we know, makes a fantastic side for any meal!

For the Chef

Anyone who relishes the idea of cooking a large meal for an event is sure to love any gift containing new cookware, bakeware, or kitchenware. Swiss Diamond offers a range of different-sized, non-stick cookware to fit any use. Each size has a corresponding lid, and they also offer induction-ready non-stick pans if desired! We would recommend choosing the Eleven Inch XD Fry Pan with the lid; the versatile size will allow for the cooking of a large dinner or just a small serving of food. Even the chef who has it all will love adding this frying pan to their collection and may even give it a whirl during the event!

For the Wine Lover

For the host who already has enough delicious wine, wine glass markers are always a hit. The brand Graf Lantz offers their signature Wine-O’s in a Hexagon Rainbow mix, Round Autumn mix, Round Rainbow mix, and Midcentury mix. These cute wine glass markers will help you and your host keep track of everyone’s glass in a fun and colorful way. These Wine-O’s are the perfect gift for any small occasion like a dinner party, and can be paired with a unique set of wine glasses and bottle of wine for the perfect wine lover gift basket.

For a Weekend Stay

Whether you know your host personally or it’s a friend of a friend, bringing a gift along with you on a weekend getaway is always a great way to start the weekend off right. Why not bring something useful for this particular occasion and beyond? It’s a win-win! If you know there will be a breakfast feast at any point during the stay, check out the new Silo Pitchers from Farmhouse Pottery. While you can purchase the pitcher individually to use for cream or homemade syrups, you can also buy the pitcher and syrup bundle for a worry-free gift set that will wow your host. 

If they always have a cup of tea or coffee in-hand, a teapot would make another unique and sentimental gift. The Pillivuyt Plisse Large Teapot is a classic-shaped teapot that will fit into any home seamlessly. Plus, the recipient will adore you for gifting something that is shock resistant, oven, dishwasher, and microwave safe.

For a Holiday Party

Whether it’s a work holiday party or casual friends-mas, your host undoubtedly worked extremely hard to put this fun event together. Don’t forget to reward them with an unforgettable gift—and don’t skimp on the holiday theme! Farmhouse Pottery has a wide array of cozy stockings, ornaments, and tree figurines that are the perfect small gift for any host. 

For an even bigger impact, Simon Pearce Evergreen Trees and holiday glassware are a collectible gift on everyone’s wish list. This gift could be a wonderful addition to new and existing glassware collections. Simon Pearce also offers a wide variety of vases and decor to browse.
