If you are going to a holiday party this weekend, or staying
with a friend of a few days, don’t forget to take a Hostess Gift with you so
that you’re sure to be invited back next year. I shared some fun and creative hostess gift idea with Page Crawford on Good Day Carolinas:
The
Gift of Time
o
Dishes are
on Me! What could be better than
giving your hostess the gift of time and dirty dish avoidance. Wrap up a set of paper plates, napkins, cups
and plastic silverware to give to your hostess so that the night after the
party they won’t have to wash a single dish.
TIP: This is also the perfect gift for new parents
or a friend who has just moved!
Unsung
Heroes, I Mean Hosts
o
Gifts for
the Rest of the Family. When you
think of a hostess gift, chances are you are thinking of what you can buy for
the lady of the house. But what about
the man of the house or their cute little toddler who surely had a lot to do
with their party prep (or at least stayed out of the Hostess’ way as she
frantically saw to all of the last minute details). Pick up a Beer Tasting Kit for your beer
loving host, or an adorably festive holiday barrette from Lilly Mac Creations for
your littlest hostess. These handmade
barrettes are made by a NC mom and could not be any cuter!
Dress
up a Bottle of Wine
o
Wine and
Socks. A bottle of wine is of course
the most traditional of hostess gifts and for a wine lover it is the perfect
choice. But don’t show up with a naked
bottle, dress it up! Pick up a pair of
Fun knee-high socks that your hostess will love, place the bottle inside one
sock and use the other to tie a cute bow around the neck of the bottle. It’s a cute, green, functional and FUN way to
wrap!
For all of
my tips pick up your own copy of my Tips for the Clueless Chick books and follow the Clueless Chick on Facebook and Twitter.
Until next time,
