Be the Best Guest Ever With These Holiday Hostess Gifts


Inevitably you will find yourself going to a number of holiday parties, dinners, and gatherings this time of year, here's a look at some great hostess gifts for a guaranteed invite back.

 
  • Todd English

    Gift Baskets, $75-300 (ship nationwide via 212.546.5499)

    This year, celebrity chef Todd English put together four themed holiday gift baskets: Baking & Sweets, Tea & Honey, Entertaining, and Signature Basket. All four come beautifully packaged and filled with gourmet buys like Salty Road Taffy, Brooklyn Hard Candy, and Truffle Oil.

  • Nespresso

    Holiday 2012 Capsules, $6.80 per sleeve of 10

    Every year Nespresso releases three limited-edition holiday flavors — in fact, it's the only time that the coffee brand sells flavored varieties. This year they've got Hazelnut, Macademia Nut, and Coconut. Going to a party where the hostess doesn't have a Nespresso machine? Gift the brand's latest launch, the U.

  • Solerno

    Blood Orange Liqueur, $40

    A versatile sweet/tangy liqueur that can be enjoyed on its own or as a modifier for everything from champagne to hot cider, Solerno is made from citrus distillates in which blood oranges and their zest are macerated. What makes this a standout hostess gift, however, is the Murano-inspired bottle which has a depression at the bottom that looks like a citrus juice squeezer.

  • Diptyque

    Baies Large Scented Candle, $275

    Nordstrom has a slew of fantastic offerings this holiday season, but it's hard to top this 51 oz. candle, which is made by hand and housed in a black porcelain container. With five wicks and an estimated 190 hour burn time, it's a luxurious addition to any room.
