Posh Loves Fabulous Hostess Gifts

March 1| posted in - hostess gifts, housewarming gifts

When you’re invited to a friends house for an afternoon or evening for entertaining, it is proper etiquette and polite to arrive bearing a gift for your gracious hostess with the mostess. To make sure that you show up with a gift that the hostess will absolutely love, we put together some very cute and stylish DIY gifts that are guaranteed to get you invited back!

For a refreshing and cool hostess gift create a Summer Cooler. Fill a glass pitcher with lemons, then attach a wooden spoon and a stylish dish towel to the handle — the makings for lemonade. Include a simple recipe that doubles as a gift tag.

2. If your hostess is an avid gardener the Garden Supplies gift will be to her delight! Give here some flowers that will last longer than a few days. Fill a galvanized bucket from a hardware store with a few gardening basics: seeds, pruners, pretty gloves, and a trowel. We used a cardboard coaster as a gift tag.

3. The Tote-ally Great Pack offers up some fresh baguettes and fancy olive oil in a personalized canvas tote and your host will have both a delicious snack for later and a cute bag to reuse. Pick up an eco-friendly canvas bag, a letter stencil, and fabric paint at a crafts store.

4. Entertaining with a wine lover? Consider wrapping their favorite bottles of wine. That’s a Wrap is a brilliant twist on giving the traditional bottle of wine: Wrap it in a pretty summer scarf (we used two easy techniques here) and give two presents at once. Don’t you love it!

5. Soap Star, buy a package of inexpensive fragrant bar soap and wrap it in pretty printed paper. Polish off the look by binding the soap together with decorative copper wire topped off with a bead, then place the stack in a lovely vintage soap dish.

Have creating these stylish DIY hostess gifts, which one is your favorite?

Enjoy!
