We have come to the end of a beautiful summer with autumn gatherings on the near horizon. Soon we’ll be attending bonfires, cookouts, Sunday suppers, chili cook offs, and holidays. These occasions are fun to attend, and for the creative host or hostess, they are thoughtful ways to express their love. While host / hostess gifts have fallen away from the social mainstream of etiquette, they are still a lovely way to say thank you for the time and effort one has invested into the event. I have put together a few simple and inexpensive host or hostess gift ideas to help you express your gratitude.
Hostess Gift Idea Mood Board #1
If the attended gathering is food-centric like a cookout, holiday meal, Sunday supper, or chili cook off, you can be fairly certain the host or hostess enjoys preparing and serving food. The following hostess gift ideas are not intended to be one singular gift, but rather an inspirational mood board to spark ideas. Links are provided for your shopping convenience. *This is not a sponsored post*
Mood Board #2
The next set of hostess gift ideas are also food-centric, but can also be valuable to a charming host or hostess. This list includes a few consumable products that will not need long term storage, a few inspirational pieces to spark creativity, and also a few pieces simply for the host’s enjoyment. Again, links are provided for your shopping convenience.
Mood Board #3
Finally, we have our last mood board. Again, I’ve curated a few pieces that would make any host or hostess giddy to receive. There are consumables and sharables. And as always, links are provided for your shopping convenience.
Additional Autumnal Inspirations
Because we love autumn so much, I’ve also curated a few pieces for your reading pleasure. I hope you have a beautiful autumn filled with the crunch of dried leaves, the crackle of a blazing bonfire, and the scent of eucalyptus and cedar.
Cheers, everyone!
