Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we are beginning to feel festive! The weather has cooled off, the leaves are changing, all around us the sights and sounds of the upcoming holiday season are upon us. Whether you are traveling for Thanksgiving, celebrating with loved ones nearby, or gathering with friends for a Friendsgiving feast, these no fail Thanksgiving host and hostess gifts are sure to be a hit.
The Gift of Self Care
Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving take a lot of preparation and work, that much is true. There is so much planning that goes into every detail, from preparing the meal to cleaning the house, hosting comes with a very long list of to do items. Offering your host or hostess the gift of self care will be much appreciated after all that work. These no fail hostess gifts make your host or hostess feel appreciated and will give an opportunity for a little relaxation at the end of a busy day.
For men, these cashmere socks are both warm and comfortable; for women, the UGG chenille socks – both will be a cozy welcome after being on their feet all day. The Burt’s Bees hand care set is sure to soothe tired dish pan hands, while the Sand & Salt hand creme will be a daily skin care luxury leading into the cold harsh days of winter.
Help With Cleanup
Help with cleanup is a no fail hostess gift! This gift can be given without spending a dime. Instead of asking, “Is there anything I can do to help?” or “Do you need any help?” Ask specific questions like, “Can I empty the trash for you?” Another great offer is, “May I bring in the dishes, or clear the table?” Any offer that is specific is more likely to be accepted. Asking, “Any way I can help?” puts another decision on the host or hostess, after an already tiring day. They are likely to reply with a “no thanks,” simply because they don’t have the mental capacity left to decide one more thing.
If gift-giving is more your love language than acts of service, that’s totally okay! These ‘clean up’ helpers will be appreciated, and will add a touch of luxury to a tedious task.
The Caldera dish soap in basil blue sage is an aroma worth standing at the sink for! It is such a luxurious product, the host or hostess will hardly know they’re doing a dreaded task at all!
The microfibre dish washing cloths are an absolute must! These are the ones I swear by. They are 6″x7″ so they fit into your hand perfectly. They are made of non-abrasive microfibre, but will scour the toughest burnt on mess. You can’t go wrong with this set of six in Thanksgiving appropriate sage green.
Lastly, a little diffuser is always a beautiful and relaxing addition. Pair this pineapple diffuser with lavender essential oil, or clove-scented Thieves, and your host will be relaxing in comfort in no time at all.
A Heartfelt Thanks
Last, but certainly not least, a personal note of thanks is the absolute perfect and no fail thanksgiving hostess gift. After all the preparations are made, the hosting is done, and everyone has gone home, finding a hand-written note of appreciation tucked secretly inside a kitchen cabinet, or drawer is a wonderfully welcome surprise. Gratitude doesn’t cost a cent but is extremely appreciated. (We have a FREE gratitude journal you can download and print out if you’d like to leave it for your host / hostess.)
When all is said and done, a heartfelt thanks is probably the most appreciated gift your host or hostess could receive.
We wish you and your family the happiest Thanksgiving holiday! Be safe, stay well, and don’t forget to forward your mail!
