Gifting the Hostess with the Mostess

My friend Nicki is looking for some inexpensive hostess gift ideas. She's thinking maybe personalized stationary sets, but collecting up some options couldn't hurt.


1. Is this already overdone? Too cutesy? Don't care, I wouldn't mind getting one. Sweet Sunshine Apron, Overstock. $29.99. Also really like this one at Jillie Willie.
2. Lucia olive oil hand soap, Paper Source. $10.95
3. Bianca Mellamine Platter, Crate & Barrel. $8.95. Maybe top it with some desserts and pretty it up.
4. French Bull salad server set, Give Simple. $15
6. The best.candles.ever. Handmade with soy wax and perfect packaging for gift giving.                              Gratitude candle, Ebba Los Angeles. $29
7. You've seen the phrase everywhere, now tote it around on canvas AND save the planet.
Keep Calm and Carry On canvas tote, Cafe Press. $17
8. For the fun loving hostess. Those kooky napkins they sell at liquor stores. I love them.
Anne Taintor vintage humor, platesandnapkins.com. $4.95 each
