Thoughtful Gifts for Party Hosts

Holiday Season is here and we all look forward to spending more time with friends and family. Some people are kind enough to host a party and do all the hard work of cleaning their house, preparing food and making sure their guests are welcomed and have lovely time.

Why not repay their efforts by taking a thoughtful gift for them which they would appreciate? I have handpicked some of the gifting ideas and suggestions to help you choose a unique gift for your party host.

But here are some of the points that you should remember to make sure your gift is well received:

• If its food item or Alcohol, do not expect it to be consumed on the same day in the party. It is not a wise idea to ruin host/hostess’s plan so its better to give it for the future. Let your host decide if they want to serve it to the guests.
• Do not insist to open your gift immediately.
• Choose a gift keeping host/hostess in the mind.
• Try to give the gift discretely and avoid giving it in front of other guests as it may not feel good to those who didn’t bring any gift.

Here are some of my suggestions for awesome gifts besides flowers or alcohol that will bring smile to your host/hostess’s face.

Electricals

We all know the weather is really chilly during Christmas and considering a handy heater as a gift would make a thoughtful choice. JML 500 Watts Handy Heater – Remote Controlled is the ideal solution to the cold spaces, at work, home or on holiday. Whether you’re doing a spot of DIY in a shed, car maintenance in the garage or just sitting at a draughty desk in a cold office space, all you need is a standard plug socket for direct, comfy heat straight from the wall!

The heater also comes with a fully-working remote-control. There’s also a timer function so you can pre-set the amount of time you want it to heat for, and then it will turn off automatically.

Candles + Home Fragrances

Everyone loves candles and this is a season to burn a lots of candles to brighten up home and bring some warmth. I have quite a few suggestions in this category and trust me I am not going to mention the popular ones that have now become common and can be found in most homes. These are unique options if you want to choose candles as a gift.

• Atelier Cologne Orange Positano Candle
• Clive Christian No 1 Fraction candle
• Mor Boutique Deluxe Soy Hobnail Candle
• MFK Baccarat Rouge candle
• Crabtree & Evelyn Windsor forest poured candle
• Bjork & Berries White Forest Scented Candle

Another option is a nice Reed Diffuser kit like MOR Snow Gardenia Home Diffuser Kit from Emporium Classics collection – an elegant set providing all of the components for a luxurious reed diffuser. Featuring a concentrated oil-based formula, the fragrance opens with an aromatic bouquet with top notes of Gardenia, Juniper Berry and Angelica, folding into hints of classic Vanilla Musk, delicate Ylang Ylang and heady Sandalwood. Black rattan reed sticks allow the scent to travel across the room, and it’s made from a premium blend of natural vegetable-based ethanol’s that prolong the fragrance for up to six months. Housed in an elegant black glass bottle and presented in a sophisticated box set, it makes an ideal gift.

Cookies & Sweets

You can’t go wrong with Cookies and sweets during Christmas. If your host have kids, then these would be the most enjoyed.

Crabtree & Evelyn London Jive Talkin’ Mini Shortbread Rounds are delicious mini shortbread rounds packed in a festive tin with a musical twist. The tin can be reused for keeping stationery or small toys (lego in our case) as kids would love the revolving musical tin.

Crabtree & Evelyn London Cranberry & Clementine Fudge is a festive bauble full of delicious fudge mixed with the fruits of the season.

Toiletries

Gifts like hand cream sets and body care sets are very useful for everyone and let’s be honest, we all need to keep our hands and body soft during this harsh weather.

Caudalie Luxury Vine Body Butter Set – This set contains an indulgent and nourishing body duo – Pleasure and indulgence wrapped up together in a beautiful, nourishing set. The Set Contains: Vine Body Butter (225ml) – Rich in moisturising Vinolevure and natural ultra-nourishing Shea Butter, this balm deeply repairs dry skin.
