Entertaining Made Lovely: Unique Hostess Gifts

{also featured on kcmag.com}

Everyone loves a good party. And now there is no need to stress out deciding on a gift for your hostess. 

Here are some unique, easy and (mostly) DIY hostess gift ideas. A great hostess gift doesn't have to cost a lot of money and is always a very thoughtful gesture.

I hope these ideas give you some inspiration.


1. Color block terracotta pots + succulent plants

5. Mrs. Lilien's Cocktail Swatchbook: Classic Cocktails with a Twist 
(I am gong to by multiples of these!) Only $10 here

It is always a good idea to attach a note of some kind to any hostess gift you give. 

I designed 24 small gift tags in trendy retro, chevron, herringbone and ikat patterns...and I want to share them with you. 

All you have to do is click here 
to download the 2 sets of print ready tags that are pictured below. They will open full size and all you have to do is print them on letter sized white paper (heavier stocks work best), cut out with scissors, punch a hole at the top and attach it to your gift with some ribbon. You can even write a message on the back if you wish.





There you have it - a low stress and unique hostess gift is yours for giving!
