Hosting a party is a lot of work! A gift for the party host should be thoughtful and show appreciation for their efforts. Pro Tip: Consider the host’s preferences and lifestyle when selecting a gift, and don’t be afraid to get creative based on your knowledge of their interests. Here are 5 great gift ideas for the party host in your life.
Handwritten Thank You
Something as simple as a handwritten thank you note can go a long way in showing appreciation for your party host. This gift shows you took the time to sit down, consider their hard work, and write them something heartfelt. Nothing feels as good as being seen and recognized for your efforts! If you want to, you can tag on a small extra, like a gift card or flowers.
Artisanal Goody Basket
It’s almost as fun to put together a basket of goodies as it is to open one! Select items produced locally or artisanal goods, such as jams or cheeses, snacks, chocolates or other gourmet treats. Your host can share the basket during the party or keep it for snacking afterwards!
Make it Personal
Make your host feel seen and loved by choosing a gift they’ll enjoy throughout the year. For example, does your host enjoy cooking? A cookbook featuring recipes from a favorite cuisine or a popular chef could be a great choice. Maybe a custom cutting board or engraved wine glasses? Maybe your host is more of a tea drinker than a coffee drinker. A selection of high-quality teas or a tea sampler set can be a delightful gift. Whatever the gift, if it’s personalized, your host will know you took the time to think specifically of them.
Entertain the Entertainer
Board games are all the rage. Choose a fun and engaging game that the host can enjoy with friends or family. Is your host a music aficionado? A portable Bluetooth speaker is a practical and versatile gift that can be used during future gatherings. There are some really good options on Amazon!
Wine or Champagne
When all else fails, wine or champagne is a classic choice. Choose a bottle that suits the host’s taste or matches the theme of the party.
There are lots of Dos and Don’ts of Attending Parties, but bringing a gift for the host is always on the ‘Do’ list. These great gift ideas are meant to get you started, but there are tons of fantastic gifts for hosts these days. Dedicate some time and the perfect gift is bound to pop into your head. The important thing is your willingness to show appreciation for your host’s hard work!
