Welcome back to the 12 Days of Gift Guides! Do you have a friend or loved one that just loves to entertain? Maybe someone who just purchased their first home? A family member that lives to host a good dinner party? Your parents or in-laws that are missing out on hosting Thanksgiving for the whole fam?
2020 has changed a lot about entertaining for many of us, but I know I personally am looking forward to the days (hopefully next year) where I can safely host guests again.
For today’s gift guide, I wanted to share some items with you that are perfect for anyone who just loves to host and entertain! Or maybe even for the homebody like me – I like to have everything on hand to throw myself a nice little party of one whenever I want. Keep on reading to check out these awesome gift ideas:
Tiled Monogram Mug ($12)
Who doesn’t love a pretty mug? I know I enjoy nothing more than a nice mug for coffee every morning. These Anthropologie mugs are at a great price point for anyone on your list & sure to put a smile on their face.
Coupe Cocktail Glasses (Set of 4 for $34.95)
A friend recently made us cocktails in these glasses and I quickly became obsessed with the look. I love how chic they are and how they can make just about any drink look fancy. Perfect for entertaining!
These lustered coupe glasses from Anthropologie are also a great option – set of 4 for $56:
Nordstrom Bliss Plush Blanket ($28)
This blanket always seems to make it onto every gift guide I write. Honestly though, it’s just that good! I may or may not be wrapped up in mine as I write this post. My mom and I have both tried the Barefoot Dreams blankets and we prefer this blanket instead. And, you can beat the fact that it is a fraction of the price and comes in many different colors!
Cheeseboard with Built-In Utensils ($58)
Every home needs a good cheeseboard. I thought this one was unique in that it comes with the tools need to prep cheese properly. There are so many great options out there for charcuterie boards – I’d consider adding this as a potential option for anyone on your list! Bonus points if you can get it custom or monogrammed for them. This brand does actually have an initial monogrammed version of this same set.
One more option with utensils included ($46) – makes a great gift for newlyweds as well:
Dyson V8 Absolute Vacuum ($299)
This Dyson vacuum was one of the best purchases I’ve made in 2020. Going cordless makes IT SO EASY to vacuum. I actually can’t imagine going back to a standard vacuum after using this one. I like that it comes with tons of different attachments and swivels to fit into tiny corners. I’ll even use the couch attachment to clean up Winston hairs when I get the “on my way!” text from a guest. Takes 30 seconds and you’re done!
Wine Rack ($68)
A wine rack is a great gift for anyone who loves to entertain! I personally like to have multiple bottles of wine on hand for guests (or myself!) to enjoy. This brass wine rack is chic and perfect addition to any home.
Pair this gift with a wine subscription like Winc and you’re all set! Treat yourself or a loved one to the luxury of wine delivered to your door. If you use my link, you’ll get $22 off the first box you gift!
Airfryer ($58)
I received an Airfryer as a gift last Christmas and it has gotten a ton of use this year! The Airfryer is awesome gift idea for anyone on your list. I like that I can make healthier fried food with it. The air fryer is also incredibly versatile. You can pop just about anything in there and it’ll taste delicious. I like to use it when entertaining to make yummy appetizers!
Stemmed Wine Glasses (Set of 6 for $96)
The stemmed wine glass has made a complete comeback this year. I know I’m personally loving this silhouette and am ready to upgrade my glasses to this shape. This set from Nordstrom is a great option for anyone on your list!
If you or your loved one are prone to breaking things like I am, consider this more affordable set from Target. The set comes with 4 glasses for $25 – no guilt if one gets broken!
Custom Doormat ($48)
A custom doormat is the perfect gift for anyone that loves to entertain. It’ll make any guests feel welcome as soon as they walk in the door. Just be sure to order quick if you’d like it in time for Christmas! Here is another great option in case the above sells out for the season!
Waffle Towel Bundle ($49)
I’ve been hearing the BEST things about these Brooklinen waffle knit towels. They’re fast-drying, absorbent and so chic. They have multiple color and bundle options for anyone on your list!
Consider the waffle towel move-in bundle for a full set ($81):
iRobot Roomba ($179)
The iRobot Roomba is a great gift option for anyone that’s always on-the-go. I personally love this as a gift for anyone with a pet who’d much rather spend their time at the dog park than vacuuming up pet hair.
Serving Utensils ($32)
How gorgeous are these serving utensils? I love these as a great gift option for anyone on your list who loves to host.
Vinglacé Wine Chiller ($89.95)
My Vinglacé wine chiller is one of my most used items when I host guests. Especially in Florida with the heat, I always bring this guy outside when entertaining on the patio. This wine chiller keeps my bottle nice and cold while looking chic on the table.
Volupsa Spiced Goji Large Jar Candle ($32)
Candles can make a great gift for anyone! I picked up this exact scent from Volupsa last Christmas and absolutely loved burning it into the new year. The smell is almost like that of mulled wine or sangria – so good! When I was done with the candle, I peeled the label and saved the jar to use for my coffee grounds! I love seeing it out on my counter every day.
