Or a holiday scented candle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hostess-gift-2#post-2859748 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 09:09:07 +0000 SupernovaJ 2859748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe something like this? </p> <p><a href="https://www.shopwaitingonmartha.com/products/apple-baking-dish?variant=13529118310435" rel="nofollow">https://www.shopwaitingonmartha.com/products/apple-baking-dish?variant=13529118310435</a></p> <p>It's an apple crisp baking mix + baking dish, on sale for $35. I recently brought it as a housewarming party gift. They also have a pumpkin baking set. If not that, the site has tons of other great hostess gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hostess-gift-2#post-2859714 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 23:53:42 +0000 Mrs. Oreo 2859714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: the brand is Danica, I attached a photo. Clearly i haven’t used them yet. They’re too nice for everyday use lol </p> [attach=7861/18/pj59lj.600x449.1D168659-3630-4BA8-AFC5-2A0A2A57CEA7.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hostess-gift-2#post-2859712 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 23:45:12 +0000 meadow 2859712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: what a great idea!!!!</p> <p>@Mrs. Oreo: do you remember what brand they are? I only buy kitchen towels at target and don't have a good barometer for gift-able towels :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hostess-gift-2#post-2859619 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 09:29:28 +0000 Mrs. Oreo 2859619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hosted a Friendsgiving and a friend gifted us beautiful neutral designed kitchen towels. I loved them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hostess-gift-2#post-2859576 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 17:49:21 +0000 erinbaderin 2859576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: They’re not, actually! Almost everybody thinks they are - I kept them out of my house for years - but apparently they’re only mildly toxic, and only if consumed in large amounts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hostess-gift-2#post-2859573 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 17:12:09 +0000 wrkbrk 2859573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: Yes! Those are festive! But they’re toxic to animals FYI so maybe better for houses without them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hostess-gift-2#post-2859571 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 17:08:21 +0000 erinbaderin 2859571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would bring wine, but if you didn’t want to do that maybe a poinsettia, so it doesn’t matter if they’re not good with plants, nobody wants them to live after Christmas anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hostess-gift-2#post-2859569 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 16:58:01 +0000 Chuckles 2859569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: this is a great idea! A few things people have brought us recently that were memorable are homemade granola, coffee, and fancy jam. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hostess-gift-2#post-2859564 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 16:14:00 +0000 pachamama 2859564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we are in the exact same position! What about baking an orange cranberry bread? We did that last year. Then they can freeze it if they don't want to eat it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hostess-gift-2#post-2859560 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 15:31:47 +0000 wrkbrk 2859560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always bring breakfast items to a dinner party. A box of nice croissants or muffins from a local bakery usually - so the hosts don’t have to worry about breakfast the next day when they’re cleaning up etc! Tip: This also works when the hostess is pregnant and not drinking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hostess-gift-2#post-2859559 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 15:00:34 +0000 MamaBear87 2859559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My go to is always a bottle of wine. </p> <p>If they don't drink cute Christmas kitchen towels and a pair of oven mitts always go over well. </p> <p>I've had people bring plants but my internal monologue is always, "great something to kill" :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hostess-gift-2#post-2859558 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 14:40:26 +0000 meadow 2859558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are attending a christmas party at a neighbor's house later this month. There are about 5 couples invited. The hosting couple are empty nesters and the rest of us are a mix of empty nesters/kids in middle school/little kids. We are all adjacent neighbors.</p> <p>I am at a loss for what to bring for a hostess gift (I am terrible at this type of thing...)</p> <p>The dinner is a pot luck style - everyone bring something in the appetizer/dessert category and we snack. The hosts make about 50% of the food and the rest is brought by guests. So I will be bringing one or two things to "share" for that part, but feel like I should be bringing something for the hosts themselves.</p> <p>Ideas? </p>
