This holiday season, many of us will be invited to dinners or gatherings. Some of us may even be staying overnight at a friend's or a family member's home. A great way to show our appreciation for the work and effort put in by the hostess is to bring a hostess gift. While hostess gifts are certainly not mandatory, they are a thoughtful way to show your appreciation. Entertaining essentials that can help your hostess plan fun get-togethers are the right presents to give your hostess. Stylish Barware Classic barware like monogrammed crystal decanters, champagne flutes or ice buckets are hostess gifts that are sure to work with any type of tabletop theme or drink display. Hand-blown glassware in bright colors can make playful choices for years of entertaining enjoyment. Your hostess can play mix and match clear glasses with colored ones to create a unique tablescape. Striking coasters like ones with a mirrored finish or hammered texture can make practical gifts that are sure to create visual interest when contrasted with classic glassware. Have the coasters monogrammed to give your gift a personal touch. Table Linen Placemats with scalloped edges are ideal hostess gifts for the holidays. The scalloped edges will offer vintage charm to her table and you can pair these placemats with monogrammed linen napkins. Linen napkins with a ribbon border are an easy way to immediately dress up drink displays and add some color to the party! For a polished look, opt for linen napkins that are personalized with your hostess' initials embroidered in an attractive font. Make sure that the table linen is machine-washable to offer minimum maintenance. If your hostess loves hosting outdoor parties, disposable paper napkins and placemats can be a good gift. Table Accessories Napkin rings are practical and stylish tabletop accessories that are a must for formal dining. Choose napkin rings with classic silhouettes and have them monogrammed for traditional aesthetic with a personal touch. Fun chalkboard napkin rings can be a great complement when gifted as a set with linen napkins so your hostess can recreate the look of a warm, casual bistro. Lay out a set of cheese spreaders on folded linen napkins and place on an attractive serving tray. This is a gorgeous gift for a coordinated hostess.
