It’s the season for parties and celebrations, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year’s Eve fall within a month of each other bringing people together. Displaying thanks to those that put in hours planning, cooking, ordering, and cleaning to welcome you into their home shows your gratitude. Hostess gifts are the traditional way we show this gratitude.
A few notes when you arrive at the Christmas party or holiday dinner,
1. Give the gift discretely to the host. It’s meant to be something to display thanks not to bring attention to yourself.
2. Expect it to be used at another time (especially in the case of wine or chocolate).
3. Greet the host and hostess before giving the gift. Again, you want to show them you are excited to see them and celebrate.
Do you need help with what to give as a hostess gifts?
Possible hostess gift ideas are candles, flowers, plants, wine, chocolate or gourmet candy, or a small household item.
Sow Wonder Florals has excellent gifts for your host, however, if you bring a flower bouquet be sure to offer to put them in a vase or bring a vase along. This allows the host to be able to keep on hosting, they will enjoy your flowers once the evening quiets down and during the week to come!
