Although it’s hard to believe, it’s almost that time of year when holiday parties start occupying most weekends. Most people’s go-to gift for these kinds of events is usually a bottle of wine, but sometimes it’s nice to surprise your hostess with something different. Here are 60 fantastic DIY hostess gifts that you can start thinking about ahead of time to avoid excessive holiday stress.
When To Bring A Hostess Gift
Any time you are invited to a formal gathering of any kind, you should consider bringing a hostess gift. Think about it this way… if the hostess has invested a lot of time and money into the event, you’ll probably want to bring a small token of your appreciation. The size and cost of the item will vary depending on the gathering (for example, if you’re visiting someone’s new home for the first time for a housewarming party, you may want to put a bit of extra effort into your gift), but as a general rule you should plan to bring something to parties, showers and holiday gatherings.
