If you have been tasked with bringing a dish to a party or wedding, you are faced with the daunting task of figuring out what to bring. The key is to bring something the host will use, but how can you be 100% sure what the host wants?
Sure, you can always get the host a gift that matches their interests if you know what they are passionate about. For instance, if your host is an avid gamer, you can give them fortnite gifts (which happens to be my favorite game) or gifts related to any other games they enjoy playing. Getting gifts for someone who loves sports or games is easier if they’re interested in those things.
You could also get them something personalized. Maybe, a framed picture of both you from a memorable day could do the trick. Alternatively, to give them something unique and special, you can consider getting your hostess a Personalized bobblehead from photo that you have of them. However, if you have no clue what they would like to receive or what their interests are, the easiest solution is to be a creative hostess and make something yourself. But, what to make?
When it comes to the holiday season, there’s no better hostess gift than time spent baking together. Throwing together a simple treat with wine, friends, and your family is something everyone can appreciate. Add in some extra flair, and you’ll have a thoughtful, memorable gift that will make your hostess feel pampered.
Painted coasters
Painted coasters are easy to make, add color to your party, and your guests will love them! Plus, they’re fantastic for outdoor parties since they won’t break when knocked over.
DIY candle
The possibilities of candles are endless, so let your creativity loose and incorporate everyone’s favorite flavors and scents into a candle they’ll cherish. And you’ll also get to spend quality time together as you craft, making it much more special.
DIY basket
Everyone loves hosting and throwing parties, but you can step up your hosting game with a creative hostess gift if you are trying to entertain on a budget. These DIY baskets are great because no one likes to receive something they already have. Plus, you can even put a small bottle of wine or beer in it to make it extra special.
DIY mason jar
From DIY bath salts to homemade caramel popcorn, we love mason jars because they can hold almost anything. They also come in a range of styles, so you’ll have plenty of options when you need ideas. If you have access to a good metal engraving machine, then you could also put a nice personal message or design on the top. Personalizing any gift like that could make the person getting it to feel really special.
DIY beverage dispenser
A DIY beverage dispenser is a fun gift for your hosts and one that has endless possibilities. There are many tutorials online! One of my favorites is this one for a DIY mason jar beverage dispenser.
DIY wine bottle
When it comes to gift-giving, it doesn’t get much easier than a homemade bottle of wine. That’s because you control the ingredients and the end result, so it’s easy to make a personal and thoughtful gift. Plus, a bottle of wine is practical enough that someone will likely use it instead of leaving it to collect dust on a shelf.
Homemade Soap
If there’s one hostess gift that everyone loves to receive, it’s homemade soap. Homemade soaps are fun to make, and each person can customize their own soap by choosing scents and colors that appeal to them the most. Plus, it’s fun to give to friends and family, and they make for the perfect small gift!
Gift-giving can be one of the hardest parts of the holiday season. Aside from family, it can be tough to decide what to get for your coworkers, friends, and acquaintances. This year, think outside of the present box and get creative. Think outside of the traditional coffee mug or fruit basket and get creative. You can host your own swap party, giving each guest a swap bag filled with gifts of their favorite things.
With Christmas around the corner, many of us are thinking about what we will be giving as hostess gifts. Many of us are stumped, as the thought of buying another coffee mug or tote bag seems lame. Why not think of some creative gifts that are unique? Think about giving them beautiful home decor items as a gift, for example. Alternatively, if you are unable to find an appropriate gift, you could create something related to home decor.
Making gifts can be fun and creative, so if you need some gift ideas, why not create your own? While many crafts require lots of supplies or prior knowledge, there are some things that can easily be done by anyone. From journals and glittered bookmarks to magnetic jewelry and cupcake soap, there are plenty of simple crafts that can be made. So here are some more DIY ideas for you!
DIY Hostess Gifts can be a creative way to say thank you to your guests for celebrating with you. The act of giving homemade gifts is an easy way to show your guests that you appreciate their presence. Plus, DIY gifts are more personal, more meaningful, and more affordable than store-bought gifts.
