Kids are back in school and the fall season is right around the corner. This comes along with football season, fall festivals, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. Before you know it, the holidays are here. I guess you could say it is the un-official kick off of party-season. You know you will start to get the party invites, so be prepared and come ready with perfect hostess gifts.
Here are some fresh ideas for you to consider:
Bee Harmony Mini Honey Gift Set, $24.99

Radiate playful ease in our signature champagne earrings. With a 3-dimensional silhouette, these fully beaded statements are further embellished with feminine crystal detailing.

Williams Sonoma Classic Solid Apron, $24.95
Protect clothes from spills and splatters with our cotton apron, available in adult and kid sizes. The apron boasts a fully adjustable neck strap for making it longer or shorter depending on your height and preferences. The spacious pockets hold kitchen tools and gadgets while the long tying straps let you customize the fit.
Gilded Agate Coaster, $16
Modern and elegant at once, this swirling agate coaster is a thoughtful hostess or housewarming gift for someone special (or yourself!). Mix and match for a colorful spectrum on a coffee table, or go uniform for a classic accent.
Petite Sunset Orchid, $78
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 quicker 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, $128
The hand-painted Spongeware Oil & Vinegar Set is inspired by the 19th-century English stoneware collected by Tory and her mother, Reva. Mix with new and vintage pieces in the same palette — it makes things feel more interesting, 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, $54.99
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.
Thank You Chocolate Box, $15.04
Box of nine thank you chocolates dusted with gold, including a chocolate daisy. All handmade from milk and white Belgian chocolate.
If you’re looking to treat a loved one to a novelty chocolate gift, we have just the right handmade chocolates for you.
Eight milk chocolate squares decorated with edible golden glitter spell out the words ‘Thank You’, with an adorable white chocolate daisy adding the final flourish. A charming and unique way to show your appreciation!
French Kitchen Marble Wine Cooler, $39.95
A column of cool white marble with grey veining unique to each piece chills wine at the table with classic flair. You can also put this beauty to use as a vase for cut flowers. The properties of marble naturally help wine keep its cool. Coordinates with all of our French Kitchen marble items. Because marble is a natural product, veining and coloring variations will occur; see additional images for examples.
Marble & Brass Dip Bowls, $17.60
These Marble 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, $39.95

Compact Swivel Cheese Board with Knives, $47+
Taking its cues from a wheel of cheese, this unique design starts as a wedge, and transforms to 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 stows in a small drawer inside the board. The comprehensive, compact set has everything you need to create an impressive spread at your next party. Made in China. Designed in California.
Bergen Cheese Knives, Set of 3, $19.95

Home State Ice Cube Molds, $18
Think your home state is the coolest? Prove it. Whether you prefer to sip a Manhattan in NYC or a California Collins in LA, these ice cube molds add a touch of state-specific pride to your favorite beverages. Just fill the silicone tray with water to make six two-inch cubes stamped with the iconic outline of New York, California, or Texas. The large cubes help cool your cocktail, iced tea, or coffee without watering it down like smaller shapes can. Get creative by filling the New York tray with red vermouth for a next-level Manhattan. Made in China.
Plant Hangers, $23.71
If you’re tired of bringing the standard bottle of wine to the dinner party, feel like a bouquet of flowers is a bit too boring for your host, or maybe just prefer gifting practical and sustainable items, this hostess thank you gift is the perfect fit for you.
Finally, you can give a present that is actually useful and that will be appreciated for many years to come. A luxury hostess gift that can also act as a reminder of the event (and you) every time she waters her hanging plant or lights her candle. Try it and see the joy in your hostesses eyes when she opens it!
Just a few fun ideas that hopefully will get you through the party season and provide much appreciated hostess gifts. Enjoy!
