Bee Harmony Mini Honey Gift Set, $24.99
INCLUDES 4 mini jars of honey, 3 ounces each. Bee Harmony Honey Varieties include American clover, wildflower, orange blossom, and berry
Clover: A sunny-colored honey with a delicate, mild sweetness sourced from the Dakotas, Montana, and other Midwest states.
Wildflower: A classic, medium-colored honey with a subtly robust, full-bodied sweetness sourced from America’s wildflower meadows.
Orange Blossom: The finest Florida and California orange groves provide the source for this softer-colored honey, with clear notes of citrus.
Berry: A medium-colored honey with mixed notes of berries sourced from the Pacific Northwest, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, and other Northeast states.
Italian Cashmere Throw, $275
Woven from a luxurious Italian lambswool cashmere blend, this beautifully soft throw features long fringe detailing and a subtly waffled texture. Perfect for throwing over a sofa, chair, or bed, this luxe blanket can be embroidered with a monogram for a personal touch.
Williams Sonoma Merry & Bright Cocktail Trio Gift Set, $49.95+
This set of elixirs includes Fireside Toddy to warm up whiskey or bourbon, Mistletoe Margarita to make tequila even more tasty, and North Pole Punch to add fruit-forward flavor to a range of spirits. A fun hostess gift, the mixers also work well with sparkling water to create delicious nonalcoholic beverages.
Petite Sunset Orchid, $68+
Add a pop of serenity to your tablescape with this popular Phalaenopsis orchid. One of the easiest varieties to grow as a houseplant—it is affectionately called the beginner orchid. You may notice a small number of blooms on your orchid upon delivery. These blooms will open quickly in a warm indoor setting. It will typically bloom about once a year for up to three months. After a blooming cycle, the flowers will wilt and fall off. This is the orchid’s way to store up energy to re-bloom again next season.
Spongeware Oil and Vinegar set, $140
The hand-painted Spongeware Oil & Vinegar Set is inspired by the 19th-century English stoneware collected by Tory and her mother, Reva. Mix new and vintage pieces in the same palette—it makes things feel more interesting and less prescribed.
Recycled Wine Bottle Platter with Spreader, $24
Rather than see the glass half empty once the spirits are spent, Val Huegerich revives wine bottles so they can join the revelry once more. Her one-of-a-kind glass platters are kiln-formed from recycled bottles gathered from the roadside and national forests near her home in Wyoming. She then cleans and strips the vessels of their labels before melting them into gorgeous, glossy trays. Paired with cork-topped cheese knives, each functional work of art makes a polished backdrop for cheeses and passed hors d’oeuvres. Rustic yet refined, these sets are ideal for the avid entertainer and are great to slip into a picnic basket (along with your favorite cuvée) to make an alfresco lunch a little more special. Handmade in Laramie, Wyoming.
Wood and Marble Cheese Board, $59
This beautiful wood and marble board makes an elegant base for cheese, charcuteries, and appetizers. Handcrafted from polished marble and solid acacia wood, this board features carefully crafted beveled edges and carved corners. Each cheese board is unique due to the natural variations of the acacia wood and the marble. Engrave a monogram on this elegant cheese board for the perfect wedding, engagement, housewarming or entertaining gift.
French Kitchen Marble Wine Cooler, $54.95
A column of cool white marble with grey veining unique to each piece chills wine at the table with classic flair. You can also use this beauty as a vase for cut flowers. Marble’s properties naturally help wine keep its cool, and it coordinates with all of our French Kitchen marble items.
Stone Dip Bowls, $24
These stone dip bowls are perfect for a variety of snacks, from guacamole and salsa to hummus and olives, and can even be used as a pinch pot.
Vintage Etched Carafe, $59.99
Inspired by a vintage glass that we fell in love with at an antique fair, our carafe is graciously embellished with a hand-cut, stylized floral motif. A charming choice for cocktail parties and formal entertaining, it’s durable enough for everyday use.
Christmas Bliss Garden, $36
A gift anyone on your list will appreciate. The perfect Christmas gift for mom, neighbor, or even for your favorite co-worker.
Compact Swivel Cheese Board with Knives, $45+
Taking its cues from a wheel of cheese, this unique design starts as a wedge and transforms into a tiered server for your favorite cheeses and appetizers. Choose your size: classic, which includes a stainless-steel all-purpose cheese knife, and cheese fork or large, which also comes with a flat cheese knife. As an added bonus, the flatware is stowed in a small drawer inside the board. The comprehensive, compact set has everything you need to create an impressive spread at your next party.
Conclusion
Finally, you can give a present that is actually useful, and that will be appreciated for many years to come. Try it and see the joy in your hostess’s eyes when she opens it!
These are just a few fun ideas that will hopefully get you through the party season and provide much-appreciated hostess gifts. Enjoy!
